I hear from John every week, I email him, but not Derek at all.
Transfers were this week, Elder Murray has gone upstate, which means that I am now with.......Elder Wang. He's from Sichuan China, and he's a native speaker (his English is really good too though), so I'm sure you'll be ecstatic about that. We get along swimmingly thus far, looking forward to a great 6 weeks.
Our investigators are doing well, Xxx is awesome, Xxxx is leaving for Massachussets for the summer to get a job to help pay for his schooling, so we're going to try and put him in touch with the missionaries up there, or else a ward, for the length of his stay. He should be back in a few months.
We got a new Elder, Elder Leung (liang), he's from Hong Kong, really cool. Also, Elder Zander is coming back down from upstate to train him, so that's Chinatown for the moment, some of the sisters got switched around too, but Elder Blonquist and Elder Cook are still together. Right now we're waiting for his (Leung's) luggage to come before we head back down, so we don't really have a very good idea of how long we are going to have on the computer in the chapel here in Kingsbridge (transfers are in the Bronx).
We're going to a Yankie's Game next week for P-day. Ought to be fun, you don't get to do THAT in most missions.
Got your package, thanks, I should be good now for a while. Actually, maybe a nice water bottle would be good.
Fun fact, when the gas goes out in your appartment building, you really don't want to take showers in the mornings for the next couple of days until they get it back on. That was a fun experience. Also, yes, it does rain like that in the city, but it only happens every so often. When it decides to happen though, it starts really fast (nothing coming down, 3 seconds later, we're suddenly soaked.)
Don't die,
I love you all, your sibling/son in service
Elder Christensen
