 Heyyo!

 So transfer week was Crazy!!!! to say the least.... we were running
 around all over the place! Tuesday morning i went and dropped elder
 cook off at the mission home and then went to the misison office to
 drop elder powell off, and then i went and ran errands with the Zone
 Leaders. after that, elder orr and i met up and went back to my
apartment to clean the carpets. then we went and ran more errands. the
 next day i had to take elder orr to his training meeting at the
 mission office and then i went with the zone leaders again and cleaned
 their carpets! after the trainers meeting was over, elder orr, elder
 case, and i went to the midlothian house to hang out while elder orr
 packed for transfers. The next day (transfer day) i had to take elder
 newman to the mission home to pick up a bike for his new area and we
 stayed and ate breakfast with all of the new missionaries and then
 headed to transfer meeting! Elder McClellan is way stoked to be in
 manchester.  we are helping each other out quite a bit.
 We were able to set Darnell with a baptism date last week for June
 30th. We both think that he will be able to do it. Tomorrow night i get
 to have my first baptismal interview with an investigator from the Bon
 Air area. we will see how that goes! The investigator is super solid
 so im sure it will be great! Being DL is pretty cool. Its nice having
 a leadership responsibility that keeps me busy. The 4 Sister
 missionaries that are in my district are great missionaries!
 President definitely gave me the best sisters to work with.
 our dinner calendar is suffering again....i dont know what the
 deal is! i think manchester ward is the only ward in the area that
 doesnt feed the missionaries every night.. other wards have a calling
 to fill the calendar ever single night. i think we have a total of 5
 or 6 for the whole month?! its crazy! i need to send home one of my
 letter binders and maybe a couple of other things. ill start putting
 them in a box to send home and let you know when its ready to be sent
 off. Ill get that picture taken this week when we have a sunny day. i
 actually have to where a light jacket today because of how rainy it
 is. i think its like 60 degrees outside? its nice though... these past
 couple of days have been perfect!
 let me know how california goes and beckas homecoming!
 give her a big hug for me! i love you all and hope you have a great
 week!
 love, elder baldwin
