i didnt think i was going to be able to write to you today. but guess what merry Christmas.
i got your packages. one from nana, two form you, one form uncle john, and one from the willams family. don't worry i haven't opened a single one yet. everybody that i know has already opened there's but i like to wait until Christmas.
so i guess to give you the low down on what happened this week.
the first part of the week was just packing and saying goodbye to all of the people down in texas. i hate to admit it but i got some Texas pride in me now. it was a really great area. i have never cried when i left an area until i left Texas. there was a lot of people that i got close too. alot of people i love there. there was a couple of family's that cried when i left as well. so its good to know that your loved. elder pugmire was pissed off the whole week because he didn't want to leave and he thought that it wasn't inspired of the Lord. and he was scared all of our investigators would go away. but he got over it. i feel really bad for him because he didn't even get a chance to serve there. he got in and got out.
on Wednesday i got to altus. i got there about 10 but they weren't expecting me until about 2 so everything that they had planned was after that.
so i guess i will describe the town of altus Oklahoma. its a small town. its got a walmart so that's something. everybody has a browning sticker on there car. i don't know if they just gave those out one day or if they came when they bought the car. there is a north and south side of town. the north is rich the south is poor. and scary. not as scary as my last area but still. at least we have some good parts in this area. the wind blows a lot here. i forgot about that in Oklahoma. in Texas its only every other week. and then it stops. but here its all day everyday. so needless to say its really dusty here. i feel if i swallow any more dust im going to fart out a brick. but the people are nice and the ward is awesome of what i can tell. willing to go out with us. and help us any time we need. our fridge is full of meat because a member love to give us food. the apartment is huge! three rooms two bathrooms. a kitchen a living room and a porch. and the carpet, is so fluffy! (name that movie)
elder shumway. is a good guy, willing to help out with anything. like even the little stuff that you wouldn't normally do. i feel like a bad companion to all my other comps. because i didn't do anything for them compared to shumway. he is from south Carolina. so he is a east cost kind of guy. (my third one) so im almost tied on my comps form utah and not. ive known elder shumway for a while. i saw him his first transfer. and a couple of times since then. when i first met him i instantly thought of the book Howay fow Wadny Wat! because he cant say his R's
so i was kind of bummed because i left my last area right before Christmas. because i knew all of the family there and now i don't know anyone. but we have lots of people inviting us over so it will be great. im super stoked.
my district here has nine people in it. thats super crazy. i have never been in a district more than five. we have, elder clements, (hey that's me) shumway, salmon, garcia, nelson, hardt,(he was in the mtc with me) shumway. (yes a second one), sister Carlini and sister Eual (don't know if that's how you spell it) this is also my first experience with sister missionary's. Ive been in all elder districts until now. but if there is anything i know about sisters is that they cause lama drama. not the sisters themselves but when elders try to impress the sisters. o well this transfer is going to be spectacular.
but i guess thats it for this week. i love you all so much keep up the good work and i will talk to you tomorrow!!!!!!
LOve Elder Clements
