Travis - New Beginnings!

Hello everyone!!! so this week has been a very interesting week. we have had a lot going on with Transfers! Im now in Roseville in a tiny apartment that missionaries haven't cared for in a big aparment complex! we do have a car since we are covering two wards which is good and bad. we still are taking a few days a week to randomly bike and talk with people. Im now going to get fat, right as I promise to lay of sweets I get into a car area in the holidays.......im good at timing! haaha a Lady in this ward made a funny mistake she thought gluten free meant white flour not wheat flour....so dinner was delicious burritos luckily so I just removed the tortilla. But rather than that I'm loving it! Elder Poulter is my new companion and he's awesome! He's a hard worker and very bold, it's helping me get outta my shell more as we tract a ton since there are apartments everywhere.  And the two different wards are exciting. Ones the Roseville YSA and the 4th ward a small family ward. The work here will be interesting since people are constantly moving in and out. But I'm excited and loving it, we even made it a game to see who can get the most creative in finding new investigators. And so we tried our first day and found 3 new people to teach!!! A big miracle in this area. I feel so blessed to be here and so sad to leave my old area after 7 1/2 months. But this mission is incredible...probably one of the best on earth ;) just kidding. But California is certainly its own kinda world. So our first new investigator was a man we met who probably knew more about what's going on in the world than the news casters on T.v. It was crazy all the things going on that he shared with us. And she talked a lot, but he said a key thing that got us excited, he told us he feels that their is something much bigger about to occur and that's the reason the world is getting worse. It blew his mind that we could help answer his own question, he is a wealthy man who had been just been kinda living out life, but we helped him to find a purpose. He loves what we shared and promise to go to church with us this next Sunday. I know this is a place has great potential and I can wait to find those who are ready for the gospel. I love you all and can't wait to hear from you, the work we do as missionaries are more important that's ever before. Heading out to play basketball see y'all later.
