First Week in Wandworth

Ok, I have a lot to talk about the last week and I don't know if I'll be able to get it all in there, so I might just pick and choose. My first week in Wandsworth was great! I got to see everyone from my first ward on Sunday, including a man that I taught when I was there, and recently got baptised by the missionaries there. I got to see so many good friends and I was surprised by how many people actually remembered my and were excited to see me. We even talked to one of the street fruit vendors yesterday and he says he remembered seeing me walk past a lot last year. :D I had never talked to him before in my life, but he still remembered me! :D I thought that was funny. Even a lot of the members of the Wandworth wards said they remember seeing my face.
 
The whole zone of missionaries here are just really nice too. It feels like a small little family, and I was glad I could be a part of it for the last week. It will probably change a lot with the remainder of the transfers that will happen on Wednesday. But I got to see one Elder who I served around at the beginning of my mission, and he's just going home today or tomorrow. It was really good to see him before he went.
 
Ack, only have a few minutes left! Okay, so this week we got to help clean up the old Wandsworth flat because two senior Sisters moved in there this week. We showed them around too, and that was fun. Oh, and I'll get to go on Exchange to Brixton sometime soon! I'm excited for that and get to go have dinner with some members from there. I'm on exchange in Peckham today, which should be fun. I'm out of time, but I am doing really good. I should have some really good stories for next week. :) (I had some for this week, but don't have time to write all of them.) Bye!
