Never thought that I'd be in Kentucky did ya'? Well that's where we got shot into! It's crazy how it all worked out. We were all waiting for calls Tuesday night, and Elder Ballard our old Zone Leader gave Elder Ramsey the call. He toyed with us for a second, knowing that something big was going down. Then the beans spilled. All four in the 4-pad were getting doubled-out! So, you are probably wondering, "what did they do to need to get quadrupled out". I'm still figuring that out...
It was a mad dash to get everything figured out. Rides, clean apartment. What's going, what's getting thrown out, which members to see before we head out. It was an all out mess! Fortunately Elder Gonzalez knew a few Jeff Gordon fans, and we all piled into a Mitsubishi Eclipse, and had a nauseating ride to Columbus. We threw our stuff to the side, and stumbled into the transfer meeting.
It was a big transfer; All over the place people were doubled out and in! As mission gossip goes people heard about our "quad-out" so we were rather notorious. I still don't know what for... The transfer took a while, and it wasn't until the end I knew my fate. I was called Designated Driver, and Senior Companion to be with.................. Elder Wheadon!
I am Elder Wheadon's "Greenie-Breaker" he just got finished training with Elder Luna. (If you look at the last transfer Photo he is to my left) Elder Luna was another Elder Klein Trainee, and Elder Luna is a sweet missionary. I can see a lot of Luna traits in Elder Wheadon, and a bit of Klein garnished here and there!
Elder Wheadon is from Layton Ut. He's pretty sick with a soccerball. So, Spanish work is Ideal for him! He was the Kicker for his High School Football team, and he also played on his High School Soccer team. His has a contagiously charismatic personality, which is going to be great because of our new circumstances.
How this all worked out, is that Elder Ramsey and his Trainee, also came down to Kentucky. So the area is now split between the two Companionships. Our areas are split by the "275" (interstate), and Elder Wheadon and I take the south side, while Elder Ramsey and Homewood take the North. How it worked out Elder Wheadon and I have the car ('08 Malibu) and the other Elders are on bikes, but to sweeten the deal for them the Cincinnati bus system stretches into Northern Kentucky. Right now we are all in one apartment. Elder Wheadon and I are sleeping on Air Mattresses, and hoping to get a new apartment figured out for our area.
Big changes this transfer! It's crazy! (Deep Breath)
Good job to all running the marathon! Especially for Super Poob for doing it 10 times! I can't say "my dad can beat up your dad", but I can say my dad can run a marathon... 10 times! (Not including Boston) I love you all, and don't forget the stuff you learned at Conference!Para Siempre,

The Great Ohio Columbus Mission...... In Kentucky.....P.S. You should be getting a package with stuff I couldn't fit. The Jersey is for T, The glass is for all of you. And, I think you'll all get a kick out of the "Brown Book".
Sorry I don't have photos this week, but presents make things better right!?
