We have moved to Sister Murdock's house and it is nice and clean. We have plans to move in a month or less to an even better house that will become a more permanent place for the missionaries as well. I can now officially say I live in Burns, Wyoming population 285.

This is how a typical day goes: Get up and get ready for the day. Study for 2 hours. Try to see specific people or work on things like paperwork until lunch. After lunch, head out and try to visit some less-active member on the way to an area where we may tract or street contact. Community service is another regular activity. Places like food banks or non-for profit thrift stores. Wear going to try and start up member lessons in this ward to get them more engaged in the work and maybe get a few referrals. We have a few appointments here and there which take precedence over all other things. Dinner with a member family is usually at 6 after which we try to visit specific individuals again. We try to be home by 9 so we can plan for the next day and do what ever else needs to be done. 

Today is the start of a new transfer and I am staying but getting a new companion. Elder Hersey (can't spell it yet) is someone I came out with and I think we are going to have a good time together. I am the senior companion and will therefor get to drive! This transfer is going to be 5 weeks long because I don't know why and the next transfer will be 7 weeks long to compensate. Dobronsky is so happy to leave it's a little odd. I like this area thus far and am thinking that there is a lot of good to do here still.
