A New Area!

Wow so I just typed this nice email out then I hit a key and it was gone and I was like crap.... so I will try to retype it!

ok ok so last time I did an email I was leaving Morgan city and going to Pineville as a Zone Leader! On Wednesday I went to transfers and it was kinda fun but more boring then anything else, I am in the time of my mission where all of my friends are gone and there is a lot of new kids that I don't know so I just kinda sat around until we left but we went to lunch at one of my most favorite places in Baton Rouge with some of the best people here! Then we had a 5 hour drive home because we had to drop off some elders and some bikes and other crap all in different places so it took a while, but once we got to our area we went straight to the young men's activity because there was food there so we went and had a good time. We got home home around 9 and I unpacked in like 20 mins. and then went to bed right after. Thursday got up worked out then biked to the red cross where we thought we were doing service but it turned out that the guy that we worked with was not there so we biked home but it was ok, we then went to Walmart so I could have things to eat, got home and did some major planning for the next mouth and then biked to our dinner appointment. Before we left I had asked how far it was going to be and Andersen told me that it was far so I was like ok no worries, we get on the bikes a I started my watch which can track miles and speed, so we bike at full speed for 54 mins and wow it was killer we ended up going 17 miles there lol and it felt like we went up hill the whole time, but we got there and had a way bomb dinner, and then they gave us a ride home (thank the Lord)  Friday we had District meeting and it took a long time but that is because it's the first one and there was a ton of new people there.  Then we went over the ward roster with the new sister missionaries and that took a long time as well, and that was the whole day!  Saturday, we got up worked out, and we did a tour of the area for me and the new sister, and we went tracting, we told the sister's to go one way and we went the other way and we walked for a good min like 3 miles and we saw 4 house and 3 of them were vacant but the sister's had good success so it was all worth while!!! Then went to our dinner appointment, were I learned how to make some bomb corn bread along with some dope cobbler!!! Sunday, we had church at 9 and it was just a solid 3 hours of church, we taught the youth in 2nd hour and kinda blew there minds, well the ones that was listening! Came home took a 15 min power nap then did studies went tracting, then dinner at the Alex's ward bishops house with all 6 of us and that was a blast for sure, we had fun and good food! Today we biked to the library idk how far it was because my watch died on the way!!!!!!!!! :(, later we are going to snag lunch then go to the zoo ya I get to see a giraffe! life is good, y'all have a good week as well love you all so much, 

Love Elder Gordon
