Well hello Family, Well I am moving out from Hawthorne, but going to Inglewood just up the street. Haha Transfers are weird this time, both areas in our ward were technically whitewashed, because Elder Lupeni is going over here and for some reason I am going over there, but yeah so I am coming in a whitewashed area and he is as well which is our area. It's super weird, I guess President Weidman's going out with a bang! It will be fun though, I'm not very happy that I am still on a bike, but whatever at least I can stay in shape. So I am in the same ward, but different area. My new companion is Elder Baldwin, woohoo I have already been with him before for 2 weeks in Downey and we are back together. Haha It's pretty funny, in fact I heard a lot of missionaries got back with old companions. So I already know him pretty well, he is from Gilbert Arizona, he was a baseball player, he was adopted into a family of members, and he is a Mormon. Haha sorry that last part was just because it reminded me of those "I'm a Mormon" videos the Church has. This week was great though and it kind of put me down that I am leaving because we went to the Visitor Center on Saturday with Y and M and it was really a great experience for Y she felt the spirit a lot. It was crazy too because she texted us on Sunday and told us she made her decision and that she wants to be baptized no matter what she has to do, and even if her family doesn't agree with it. It was super cool, but NOOOOOOO! I am leaving, haha that seems to happen a lot though, the good thing is that I can still see them at Church and if I ever go on exchanges with Elder Lupeni. We also have been having a great time in this ward as well. I feel like we are doing good things for this ward in helping the members out. It's been really good and it will be really interesting to see what happens if we can start getting them more involved in missionary work. It's crazy I can't believe that this next transfer we get a new mission president. We looked on the calendar and June 30th is when I get to meet him for the first time, it is going to be weird. I had my last interview with President this week as well, he told me I keep getting taller, a little bit though I don't think I am 6 foot 6 like Connor is now. All the missionaries are wondering if the rules will change, I don't think they will though to be honest. Maybe over time yes, but immediately, no. It's crazy I will probably have a hard time saying President Haynie instead of President Weidman. I really forgot all we did this week. That's why I am not doing the day by day run down, but we had a great week. We went to dinner at the C's they are so funny, they were telling us about the time Brother C took his son S to the hospital on the corner of Ghetto and Hood. It was super funny, apparently his son almost got them killed because he wouldn't keep his mouth shut, but it was fun his son is super cool. That's crazy that it has been officially a year since I graduated, that's so weird. We just barely had a missionary that the Spanish Elders are with since he lost his passport for like a day going to Samoa and he is barely out and it reminded me when I first came out. Super nervous and wondering what to do. Well I can't believe Connor and Cameron are done with Junior year and will go onto their Senior year. Especially with Cade coming home in a month and a half. Aaaaah! Well hopefully this next year and a few months will go slow, (wish probably not granted). It will be interesting to see what happens, I still remember leaving and remember all the things that have happened so far. Well I have run out of things to talk about, but I hope you all are doing well and I will try my hardest to get more pictures to send home, but I did get pictures at the Visitor Center with our investigator and her boyfriend (who is a member). I hope this week will be full of fun for you all to let me know about. Have a great week. Love,Elder Jacklin P.S: So my size is like 32/35 just a little bit more on the legs not much, I don't know if that is possible, but hopefully it will work. Thank you Mom and have a great week. Love you, Elder Jacklin
