After Transfers

Dear all,

So we had our transfer this week. I am now with the one and only Elder Kunzler from Portland in the mission (there is however, another Elder Kunzler in the mission from Logan, Utah, and another Elder Kunzler from Portland, Oregon, ironically serving in our neighboring mission in Portland, Maine). We've had a grand old week so far making all those cultural references that only Americans get. We were both with international companions last transfer, so it's been nice to feel a little closer to home.

Last Friday, the other Elders in our district totaled their car. They were both uninjured, but they were  left without transportation. Luckily, we had Zone Conference just yesterday so they got their new car afterwards. We had to spend the night at their apartment and then drive them the rest of the way to Montreal for Zone Conference the next morning. It worked out to be easier for us, but we were still late... Oh well... 

Other than being late, Zone Conference went pretty well. I often find them to be a little stressful or monotonous, but I actually really enjoyed this one. It was simple and spiritual and I felt uplifted, despite being late. 

One day after the transfer, we were knocking around in some apartment buildings in Granby, and we knocked into a lady who seemed genuinely interested in what we had to say. She seemed like she was really looking for God and peace in her life, and she told us that we could come back tomorrow morning. We gave her a pamphlet, and we're gonna go back to get to know her more. Finding people that seem interested at the door hardly EVER happens, so it's a big deal when it does. Even if she's not interested in the end, at least she was interested at first. That's gotta count for something. 

That's all for me this week.

Love you all, 

Elder Hadden 

I forgot to take pictures.... But here's a picture of a house of pass-along cards I made a while ago. I hope it keeps you entertained until next week.
