Transfer accomplished!














Eldrew has arrived in his new area. Here is his letter today.

Hey hey Family-
So....I'm sure you are all sooooooooo anxious to hear where I am. So...I guess I can fill you in.
I got transferred to a new area in the Texas Houston South Mission called Pasadena. It is part of the newly formed League City Stake. The boundary change is the reason for the new area in our mission because it was formally an area in the Texas Houston East Mission--you should ask Josh Madsen if he's served here or heard of it? So, it's pretty much suburb style...lots of cozzy homes and nice people. Country folk for sure.
My companion's name is Elder Beck from Blackfoot, Idaho. He's pretty funny and used to dirt bike.
We live in a member's home. He's a high priest and is retired and Red--the Red haired grandmother--works everyday somewhere. They have...or had (I'll explain in a second)...a parrot, 2 cats, and two dogs. BUT Suzie, the Bassett hound, an aged and important member of the family died last night after being a bit sluggish and sad the passed few days. Red was very sad and doesn't want anymore dogs because she "can't go through this anymore"...so today, Elder Beck and I dug a grave and buried Suzie...not your typical P-day activity.
We have some solid investigators and are working on a few others. I've met some great people already and I'm starting to learn how to be myself and be a missionary at the same time...if that makes any sense? ha.
Elder Bellomy
We will post again after he talks to his Mom on Christmas Day.

  1. I never served in Pasadena, but I am familiar with it. It is a good thing to give some of that area over to the south mission since T.H.E. Mission had too much turf to cover for its size.

    I love hearing stuff like the doggy burial, not cause the subject matter is particularly happy, but because it brings to mind all the slightly wacky and off kilter goings on in the Land of the belt buckle and gallon hat.

    GO LONE STAR STATE!
