James letter 7-22-13


So I don't have my planner from this last transfer, which means there will be no rundown on the work for this week, however, there has been an interesting situation arise which I can tell you a little bit about.
This last week was the last week of the transfer, and things were going good. Tuesday night I found out that my extension was approved by President Samuelian, I was really excited about it. Saturday I got a call from President asking me to train. I was so happy, that has been what I've wanted to do my entire mission. Elder Mohler was getting transferred, and we spent most of Saturday and Sunday saying goodbye to everyone. Sunday night at 11:30 I got a call from President, informing me that there was a problem, and I would no longer be training, and because of it I would be transferred out of Woodburn. So it turns out that Elder Mohler stayed, and is going to train the new missionary, and I got transferred. This means that my extension may also not be happening, I'm not sure. I will let you know when I know. As of right now I am still extending, but I'm not sure if it will stay that way.
Now I am in Yamhill, which is in the middle of nowhere. My companion's name is Elder Barrow, he has been out for 5 weeks, so I am finishing his training, I guess that counts as training, but not really. The work here seems pretty slow as well, which is not too thrilling. I will have more to say next week, but for now this is it. Love you.
Elder Schultz
