I'll be transferred to
Westchester 1st Ward on Tuesday and buddy up with Elder Porter, who I believe
is from Queen Creek, Arizona. Westchester is part of South Chicago (more like
South-Western) but I hear it's one of the better areas. 50% of the Elders have
bikes and the other half are designated cars, so there's a coin-flip on whether
I will like this transfer or not... just kidding - I'm good either way.
Elder Alvey, my awesome
companion, is going to be a Dad! Woohoo! He's going to be raising his firstborn
son in the wilderness. In other words, he's training a new Elder. I could only
be with Elder Alvey for one transfer, which stinks because he's great, but you
know, everything happens for a reason.
We just met some sweet
investigators this week! I was so stoked to go teach them more since they were
so humbly interested in the gospel, but now I'll miss the opportunity. Two of
them are S.K. and his wife, V.
I've been talking about
the Phoenix temple a lot to members! I always say that the new temple is
opening up, and yeah, we live like two blocks away. Now our Ward is going to
have Ward temple night like every month :) I'm fine weather-wise so far. I
received your package and been taking advantage of those sweaters - sweet
sweaters, by the way. I am not a fan of my winter coat we got at Pomeroy's,
unfortunately. I might go to Ross and buy a nice coat for cheap. Elder Alvey
got a sweet one for 80 bucks; half off. All I ask is that my personal debit
card stay above water... I try to be shop smart though, so don't worry.
Thank you so much for
all you do! I am grateful to have such a wonderful family and for my
opportunity and privilege to serve a mission! I hope and pray everything will
go well this week,
-Elder Montgomery
