Missionary Slim likes photoblogging (Week 89 in Pennsylvania, Week 13 in Dover, PA)

This might be mostly a photo blog post. Lots of great things have been talked about in the blog, but I haven't put up pictures in a while.



A recent hurricane blew through, causing this flooding. It was pretty intense!


Kyle's baptism!

In other news, Transfers! Tomorrow, I am off to different climes. Yep, I'm being transferred. All that I know is I'm going to be somewhere in the western side of the mission, but that's about it. It'll be totally different than what I've been up to lately, though. New area, new ward (or branch), new investigators, new companion, new everything! Except toothbrush - I'm hanging on to that.
For the record, this is going to be my sixth area. Probably my last, too, but I'm not going to say one way or the other for fear of getting jinxed.
I'm leaving behind a bunch of great people, which is the worst part about being transferred. A ton of people who I wasn't expecting came up to me at church and sincerely told me goodbye. It was super touching.
Wherever I go, though, It'll be good. It'll be where the Lord wants me to go. That, I'm excited for.

Love,

Elder Alex Anderson, AKA Missionary Slim
