I'm being transferred!! I'm going to Bridgeport with Elder Rodgers! I'm really excited, too! Elder Rodgers is a very positive missionary and has always been great since I got out here so I'm really excited for this transfer, plus it's the area I have been wanting to serve in! My new address is

Elder Conner Allred
50 Ridgefield Ave. Apt. 110
Bridgeport, CT 06610

Sunday was pretty rough telling everyone we were leaving, but they're throwing us a big fiesta with food and we're going to sing some hymns for them! Elder Urrutia and I are being doubled out of Hartford North and Elder Meira is also leaving. So 3 of the 4 of us are being moved. It was really hard to see everyone's eyes fill with tears. All of our recent converts were really busted up about it and were pretty watery eyed, but they are also excited for us. That night we also had a baptism, the South elders baptized Ruth-Sally, their investigator of about 9 weeks! She is 20 years old and her family is wholly pentecostal so it's been a rocky road for her, but she did it! She was like a little kid last night after she was baptized.

I'm really bummed out to leave Hartford, especially with 2 people so close to being baptized, but I guess I've said what I need to say to those people and the Lord will take it from here!

Summer has officially started here in CT so it's even HARDER to sleep at night. People are constantly awake playing music right into our window, glad I don't have to deal with that anymore! It's going to be great in Bridgeport -- hopefully I won't get Portuguese and Spanish mixed up as there is a lot of Portuguese down there, so I'll most likely be working on that while I'm down there.

Well, Not much I can think of right now -- my brain is going 1000000 miles an hour.
I Love you!
