Hey Fam! This week was pretty great, a lot of great things happened. I guess first off, last Tuesday we got our transfer calls that night and I found out that I was going to be getting transferred back to lethbridge! So I will be spending this transfer and my last one here. Last time I was here I was serving on the north side and this time I am serving on the west side. I'm pretty excited I really liked the last time I was here. My new companion is Elder Wells, he has been out now for 9 months and is from Payson Utah.
So on Wednesday I saw a few people to say bye and then got all packed up. Then on Thursday we headed for Lethbridge which is actually one of the two transfer stations in our mission. I met Elder Wells and got to our area, unpacked and did some weekly planning. Over the past few days we have met with a few of the members introducing them to me since I am new to the area. On Saturday the youth had an all day activity in which they would get an introduction to what missions are like. We helped out at it. We had to be there at 7 in the morning and it didn't end until 8:30 at night. They were introduced to how missionaries study and what their p-days are like. They also had a lot of classes that they had, to learn how to teach the first vision and at the end got the opportunity of teaching some non-members. It was a great turn out there were maybe 70 youth there and maybe 20 non-members came. The rest of the youth taught us missionaries and the adults that were helping out. After that they had a little fireside where one of the counselors to president Miles got to speak, after which the youth had the opportunity of bearing their testimonies it was pretty cool.

On Sunday we had church. We cover two wards here, the mountain heights ward and the canyons ward. After that we had a dinner with one of the members. On Monday we had district meeting, made some contacts, met the bishop, and got to meet with one of our investigators. I am pretty sure she would be baptized by now if she could give up her smoking. She seems pretty solid. Well sorry for a shorter email we are kinda pushed for time but I hope you all have a good week. Love you all.
Love, Elder Allred
