Much has happened, but I don't have very much time to write.
The trio with Elders Nelson and Morrow was really fun. We had absolutely no lessons together, because everyone canceled, but we did other stuff that was fun and a good use of time. We did a lot of switching around between the two apartments we had and because of that we spent a lot of time packing clothes for the next day. It was weird, but fun.
On Friday we went to the Temple for Faith Meets Family. Basically, all the new members and returning members gather at the temple to do baptisms for the dead. We went with a YSA kid named Sergio. It was super fun and I loved being able to do baptisms again. It's been over a year since I've done that... There was a bunch of other missionaries there with their friends so I got to see some Elders I haven't seen in a while. Afterwards we stopped by In-N-Out (Nobody cared about my veto of that option) and got food. I did not plan on wasting my money on those mediocre burgers, but a guy there offered to pay for us, so I got some anyway... He insisted!! I then enjoyed the meal, because it was a blessing. Us three were crammed into the back of Sam's car (a YSA kid) because Jed was in shotgun. I fell asleep and then woke up to pins and needles in my legs. Fun. The temple trip was awesome though, I'm so glad I got to go.
The transfer board came out on Sunday night and I saw that I was getting transferred to Kingwood, right next to the mission office (my apartment is 2 minutes walking distance from the office). On the transfer board there was two letters next to my name. SA. Special Assignment. I am now a Technology Specialist with my new companion Elder Simpson. Oh boy. I'm not sure exactly what we'll be doing, but I know that we get some privileges. Hopefully this means President trusts me. I don't know yet. Tomorrow we'll be going into the office to see what special project President has for us to do. Oh yeah, it's a bike area too. I'm gonna be biking around Texas in August. YAAaaayyy....... I'll survive, don't worry, mom.
I'm sorry this email was small, but I've been running around ALL DAY and barely had time to get to this tonight. I've got some good pictures from the past week though, so enjoy...

A member bought us a ton of groceries, that was a huge blessing.
I got pictures with my two favorite families from Pasadena (Butlers and McCanns(guy with yellow shirt).
Elder Nelson was conked out on a small road trip.
