Hey everyone,


So the results of the transfers are in and I will be transferred tomorrow morning. My instructions are to be at the Olongapo Bus Station at 7:00 am. which means we get to leave Florida at about 4:30 ha ha. Lucky me! ha ha

This is yet again another bitter-sweet moment. I've really come to love the people here and the area, but I know that the reason I have to leave is because the Lord needs me somewhere else to continue his work in another area. So that makes it okay. This could be one of the hardest parts of being a missionary, transfers.

Happenings for last week: not a lot. We had 1 day last week where we didn't have any other places to go because all of our apointments canceled.  Well we just started walking and we knew of a member in the area that hadn't been to church in a while. He is a very nice brother. Well we got to asking and found out where his house was and went down and talked to him for a while. It turns out that he had been the branch mission leader for a while and worked with the missionaries a lot! He turned in his mission application and then becuase of financial problems he wasn't able to go. If I stayed in this area I was going to work with him to get out on a mission because he is so spiritually strong its crazy! He has got an amazing testimony! But I'm sure some other missionary can help him better than I can.

Other than that not much has happened, just more of the regular.

I'll write next week about where my new area is and how my new companion is.

Love you all

Elder Chase
