Transfers happened and my new companion is Elder Watts. He's from Buena Park, California, which is right next to Anaheim. He's only been out just one transfer longer than I have but his French is really good. He went as a foreign exchange student for 10 months in Germany so he knows German a little bit too. And the other new missionary that came is Elder Gutelius. He's part Peruvian and part Japanese. He actually went to Orem High as a sophomore when I was in 9th grade and when Maren was a senior. He played on the soccer team. But after that year he moved to Arizona. And then there's Elder Esparza who's been in Luxembourg for a while. 
We have a lot of potentials but its hard setting up lessons and planning for everything with all the people we already are teaching (which is a good thing).  But yesterday at church the lady from Venezuela came to all 3 hours of church, and after church there was a baptism for someone the sister missionaries were teaching and she went to the baptism after also! We had to drive 20 minutes to a swimming pool that a ward member rented out for the baptism because the church here doesn’t have a font. It was cool that she wanted to come to the baptism and she is becoming friends with the ward members too so that’s really good!
I will be in our apartment for my birthday. We won’t be moving until around November when the apartment will be sold.
