TRANSFERS: So yeah, we've been nervous for like three weeks about transfers, but yesterday was awful. We couldn't focus at all and we were just stressing out! Transfer calls come between 9:00-10:30 and around 10:00 we were just hanging out in our room and our phone rang. So yeah, I screamed and I was literally shaking! But it was stupid DL. Yes, that also happened last transfer. The worst part it when we hung up his call we saw we had a missed call from the AP!!! Ah, my stomach totally sank! We called him back but he didn't answer. So for about 10 minutes we knew one of us was leaving but we didn't know who or where we were going or who are new companions were! It was the worst! Anyways, Elder Russel eventually called us back and gave us the news. I am transferring to the YSA Toronto ward with Sister Morgan. And Sister Bott is staying in Weston and with her new companion Sister Coleman. Ah, I have mixed feelings. I think I was just in shock so I didn't cry, we were both just grumpy for the rest of the night and stayed up super late talking. But I'm excited to be downtown!! And I'm excited to be with Sister Morgan. I haven't met her but I've heard good things about her! Apparently she's a super good singer and she's an awesome missionary, so that's good! YSA.... I don't know. I'm nervous because I like hanging out with people my age, so I think it will be hard for me to focus... And I hope there aren't any cool, impressive guys in the ward! I'll have a car because the YSA area is huge! But that's sad because I loved being in a bus area. Oh man, it will be weird! I've been in Weston for 6 months!!!! I'm saying bye to a lot of people today and I'll probably cry so that will be nice. I sent out a text to my favorite ward members and they all send such sweet replies back! Ah man, I'll miss the ward and my new recent converts like crazy! And I'll miss Sister Bott a lot. She was the perfect companion for me. 

DENSEL: Well, he was baptized yesterday and it was the most perfect way to end the transfer!! I've been working with him the whole time I've been on my mission and he has changed soooo much! I'm so grateful that I was able teach him and watch the happiness that has come as he's lived the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The service went really well and a lot of people came to support him! Densel was feeling the Spirit so strong and was pretty much crying through the whole service, it was adorable. He was even crying when we said bye to him. Man, he's a solid guy. He'll be a Bishop one day! He also cried when I called to tell him I was leaving. Oh man, he's an emotional guy, I guess. But it was sweet. We're going over tonight so I can give him a good bye handshake ha. Oh something else!! The Relief Society bought a bunch of ice creams for the people who came to the service and little boys ate 41 of them during church!!! Yeah, little stinkers! So we had like 15 to hand out. It was bad.   

SO President Clayton just called us and told me I'm actually going to be with Sister Herferd.
