That special time came again and transfers has happened. Unlike all the rest of the transfers, though, I actually got transferred this time. It feels strange to be out of San Luis, and to not be going back later today or tomorrow. I really have left, and I hope that my labors will not be for vain. Elder Rutt from the MTC went down to be with Elder Villasenor in the San Luis Branch, and I sincerely hope all goes well there. I love the Branch and care very much about its progress. And I promised to go back to visit the people I knew, a promise I am committed to ....
Elder Snyder, when he left San Luis, was transferred to the Mesa Branch. Mesa has a mission all on its own, but our mission includes one Spanish branch in the city of Mesa. He is still there, riding a bike in the great winter weather. But the branch has two areas and that is where I've been transferred to. This will be the third ward/branch of four I've served in that has two companionships—which is kind of rare. I was so happy to be transferred to a place I've heard so many good things about. Even more, my companion is a missionary I've heard great things about—Elder Argyle. We really haven't even had a chance to talk yet, we came straight from transfers to the library. I am excited to get to know a new companion and it will undoubtedly be a great transfer of great work and great teaching. I am very optimistic and enthusiastic about the future, and I am thankful for the blessings I have given so abundantly.
I was able to see many mission friends today at transfers and it feels good to be in a larger zone where we will have more missionary contact. I love it. Another cool thing—Elder Tyler Meldrum (Kelly and Kirsten's nephew) and Elder Isaac Owens are companions in my zone. I will for sure be seeing a lot of them in the coming weeks. This is going to be awesome!!!
I love you all, and I will let you know how things go in next week's email. Take care.
-Elder Sam Bostwick
