The Ward is great!
They are nice and our mission leader is active in his calling.
We have eaten at a few different people's houses and the food is always good although the entertainment might not always be. For example we were over at a member's for dinner and their little baby got sick while we were there. It started to throw up all over the place while we were eating. ya fun lol.
The teaching pool is not that great but there is a baptism scheduled the next Saturday after this one.
We have done a lot of tracting and bus OYM.
It's fun in the city. I love it here!
Today for p-day we are going to have a bowling match. The El Dorado Elders against us. There are also the Cityview Elders-Elder Batt is the district leader and he is training 2 new missionaries bc they are Spanish Elders. There are also 2 other Elders who are not in our district but are close friends so they come and hang with us on P-days.
Zone Conf. is Wednesday somewhere but we haven't heard where yet.

Monday we had dinner at a members house in Bloomingfield. We stayed the night in Elder Besler's apartment in Aztec and then had breakfast at a member's house the following day.
We got to the transfer location on time and I visited with some people there for awhile till the transfer van came.
Elder MacDonald (Canadian roommate from MTC) is staying in Farmington but getting a new companion. Sister Weatherston (from MTC group) was on the van and has been transferred from Santa Fe to Farmington area. I chatted with them both for awhile.
The transfer van only had 5 missionaries including myself and one of the Assistants.
We got down to Albq around 4 or so and I didn't get to my new apartment until 5.
My new companion's name is ELDER CONDIE.
He is from DELAWARE.
He's pretty cool. He has been training for the past 2 transfers so he's happy to get someone who knows what he's doing. We had dinner with a less active and then I unpacked all my stuff. The apartment's nice even though the shower head is like a foot lower than it needs to be for me lol.
My new address is: 1728 Zena Lona Apt B.
Albuquerque, NM 87112
Umm that's about it. So far no problems and I hope it stays that way. (Response to a question about any problems from protesters.)

Albuquerque, New Mexico
Albuquerque where the modern city skyline is set against a backdrop of the ancient Sandia Mountains and an endless, timeless blue sky. Here the sun shines 310 days a year and the high desert air is scented with sage and piñon. Rich in culture and heritage, it is rooted in centuries of history. Albuquerque is the true Southwest!
Albuquerque Fun Facts
Three hundred year old Albuquerque, the largest city in New Mexico, is situated in the central part of the state. The city ranks as the 34th largest city in the U.S., with a population of 518,000. It is home to the University of New Mexico and Kirtland Air Force Base as well as the Sandia National Laboratories and Petroglyph National Monument. The Sandia Mountains run along the eastern side of Albuquerque and the Rio Grande flows through the city, north to south.
By the beginning of the 17th century, the area that would one day become Albuquerque was called Bosque Grande de San Francisco Xavier. In 1706, the ambitious provisional governor of the territory, Don Francisco Cuervo y Valdez, petitioned the Spanish government for permission to establish the bosque as a formal villa and call it Alburquerque, after Viceroy Francisco Fernandez de la Cueva, the Duke of Alburquerque. Later the spelling was changed because some influential person couldn't pronounce the "R" in Alburquerque. The city is still nicknamed “Duke City.”
