A Transfer

Ok, it's been a very hectic day today and I have been transferred to a new area (so last night was filled with frantic packing and the temporary loss of m companion's flashlight (I knew where it was, but it was just to funny to watch him use it to look under the couch for it. lol)

That should make package sending easier for at least 6 weeks. Speaking of which last week I was right about my prediction of when I would receive the package and it was shortly after we finished e-mailing (my luck works in the weirdest ways) and I just gotta say thank you so much I think the best part was the cake (I never expected the cake withdrawal lol) There isn't a whole lot to tell now I just moved to a new area let's see. My companion is Elder McNeil and...that's all I got... Well onto other things I have made the discovery that's it's a very good idea to know how the Seahawks are doing (Washington football team) if they lose that's usually not a good day to go tracting because everyone is pretty bummed out. It's getting dark sooner and sooner every day and according to the general population it can get dark as early as 4:30. I've also come to the conclusion that when it comes to writing in my journal I'm horrible about it (when have I ever enjoyed writing?) so I've come up with a new idea. Instead of writing in a journal I'm going to try to keep a video log using the camera (which means it will get filled up faster and I can send the memory cards home more often) I've been keeping an eye out for a good winter coat and I'll let you know when I find one and how much it is. Now only one thing left to do ...

                        HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!!!

This is Casey signing off

Today was awesome!! I've heard of this happening, but had doubts that I'd be lucky enough to catch Casey online. I saw his email arrive and asked if he was still online and he said yes, but only had half an hour left. So we got to talk for a little while it was like texting but it takes a little bit longer to send and receive. I am so grateful for those tender mercies. I had no idea how hard it would be to have him gone and not have any means to see him or hear his voice. He does not enjoy writing and never has, We are blessed that he even sends us a short email. I'm excited about his video journaling and can't wait to see and hear him. I'm going to surprise the kids when the first memory card comes in ;)
