Transfers; again!

Hello Everyone,
Another week has gone by, another transfer is done, and Kristen is now 19!! Congrats!!
Elder Tew goes home on Wednesday. My new companion is Elder Faalogo (Fa-a-long-o). He is Polynesian and from Utah. When I was on TCC he was on FAMU for a little bit. He is a great Elder who can dance, jump and work hard. He wants to play volleyball for BYU. That should give you a little taste of how high he can jump. Its been a tough transfer working with Elder Tew. He has been ready to go home since I got here in Tallahassee. He has kind of given up on the working. He says he's now in "Overtime Work". Haha, but I'm going to miss him anyway. He goes home to Reno, Nevada.
This week was filled with crazy events. One included a video of me, in first person shooter mode, with a can of silly string (thanks to Shannon), attacking the other Elders in the Apartment. By the way, that silly string smelled so bad!! It was rancid. I'll send you the video and other pictures soon, but I haven't gotten the second memory card. Do you guys still have it?
The other moment that made this week epic, was Sister Simmons. This woman is out of control, but we love her to death. We met with her on Tuesday. Angel was there and we talked about faith and action. It was a great lesson. Afterwards Sis Simmons invited us to her Testimony meeting on Saturday night. How could we pass up that opportunity. The occasion - Sis Simmons has been off of drugs for 11 years, and I think she's been a member for 11 years too. Anyways, we made sure we were there. Saturday came, we played basketball in the park, helped brother Ohlen move into his new apartment and made our way over to Sis Simmons. Everyone was there. Her daughters, her mother, her ex-sister-in-law and her ex-mother-in-law, her boyfriend Glen and his friend, Sis Simmons best friend Rosey and her husband, and a few others I didn't know. The place was packed. Bro Glen led the fine service. It was a Baptist event if I've ever seen one. Clapping, praising, yelling, shouting, repeating "Thank you Lord Jesus" and "Praise you Lord Jesus" all the time. It was intense. Then, to our lovely surprise, Bro Glen asked the four of us missionaries to take a turn to speak about Sis Simmons. I was asked to go first and had no idea what to say. So I pulled the missionary card, and testified about the Book of Mormon. Told everyone there that it was the reason Sis Simmons was there today. Then I ran out of things to say and sat down. Elder Tew got up and shared something similar. He got a little bit more into the Baptist moment. Elder Shummway was next. Elder Chidester was last. Now, you won't really get the same effect because you don't know Elder Chidester, but he really got into the moment and was clappin' and shoutin' and other things. He could start his own church if he wanted to, he was that good. :) Bro Glen got up once more. He told us about how he had been in jail for 20 years, just got out a couple months ago, found God while in their, and wanted to change his life around. (Don't worry mom, he didn't look like an ex-con, just a poor business man)Sounded pretty sincere to us. Then he did the most crazy thing of all. He proposed to Sis Simmons right there on the spot. . . . . . . . . uh . . . yeah, we had know idea what to do. There is some good in that proposal though, Sis Simmons made a commitment not to have any man living with her, unless they were married. So Glen needs to get married to Sis Simmons before she'll let him move in. Go Sis Simmons!!
After the Wonderful service, we handed out several copies of the Book of Mormon. We even got Glen to commit to come to church, but Sis Simmons called us Sunday morning to tell us she wasn't going to make it. Oh, well. We now have a good size teaching pool, all because of Sis Simmons. Who Knew!?!
This week has been great. I feel so happy. Reading about the fathers and sons is awesome. I see so much of what I was, what I should have been, what I shouldn't have been, what Dad is, what I want to be as a father. Its awesome and really easy to relate to the members and investigators. I love it. The Book of Mormon really has a power that will change behavior. If you're feeling down, read the Book of Mormon. Its the best prescribed medicine that the Lord can give you. Truly!!
I love you all. You probably won't get this until you're done with Trek. Good luck and have a fun time!!
Love Elder Call
