Surprises (1-12-2015)

Just got a call about an hour ago from one of the assistants that I'm getting transferred up to Santa Monica. I've got to be all packed up and there by 8:30 tonight. Pretty surprising and overwhelming at the same time haha. I have really come to love this area and the people, so I'm pretty disappointed to have to be leaving, but there must be a reason. I'm a little worried about my Spanish too since there aren't many Hispanics up there and the work is pretty rough haha. Just going to have to make the most of it.
I hope you had a great birthday Mom! I figured that letter would have gotten to you well before the weekend, but I guess not. Hopefully you get it soon. I've seen billboards and ads on buses about that movie Unbroken and now both you and dad have said it was really good!
We have been working with the son of a recent convert here in my area who just recently got here from Chicago. He's got some tough habits that he's stuck on, but we've been trying to meet with him a lot and doing our best to let the Gospel take care of them. He's been reading the Book of Mormon and praying, so he is doing his part. Sorry this email is so short, I'm a little shell-shocked after getting that call haha. Kind of a bummer that I won't have the chance to say goodbye to all the people I've really come to love here. I hope you all have a great week! I love you!
