Man I can't hardly believe that I'm in Virginia it all feels so unreal. At times I'll totally forget that I'm actually in Virginia and then I'll catch myself and it's like whoa.... I'm in Virginia. I have some pictures that I want to send to you, but they need some explaining so I think I'm going to print them out at Wal Mart and write on the back of them and then send them to you and that will be my letter. Man the last four days have been so crazy I don't even know where to start. When I first got to the transfer meeting I was so nervous to meet my new companion, but I saw Elder Holman, (Jordan Holman) it was so crazy and so nice to see a familiar face. So Anyways (Nacho Libre accent) I was sitting with my district at the transfer meeting and all of the new trainers were sitting up in the stand, and one by one all of the friends I had made in the past two weeks were off with a new companion in a new area. It was kinda sad, but I have an awesome companion that has helped me so much, he's actually kinda like me, he's into sports, he likes music, he didn't study a lot in high school and didn't enjoy the work. His name is Elder Kay, kinda cool because in Men In Black Will Smiths Trainer's name is Agent K and Elder Kay is my trainer ha ha i just thought that was funny. We get along really well, and I've been super homesick these past couple of days and he's been so cool about it and really helped me through it. So my area is Chester, Virginia and I am serving in the Swift Creek Ward, and man I just love the ward already. My first Sunday I was sitting in the congregation and without warning the second counselor announced that I would be giving the opening prayer, I guess it's their new missionary "initiation" or at least that's what Brother Buis told me. My first night one of the brothers in my ward Brother Harris took us out to dinner to this nice Italian restaurant. Brother Harris kinda resembles John Goodman, if you know who that is, he has the biggest heart though and I just love him and our ward. So I am living in an apartment with four other Elders at the time being. It's kinda crazy having six missionaries in one place, but in about a week and a half I think me and Elder Kay are moving into a nice missionary home with the Zone Leaders. That will be nice. So if you want to send a letter any time between now and then just send it to the mission home (the address in my missionary packet) and they will forward it to me. I'll give you my new address when I'm in a more permanent location. We have some investigators but we haven't been able to meet them yet because where we are living is 8 miles away from where they live so we can't bike there and back so we've just been going around with our zone leaders that we are rooming with. Well tell everyone that I love them and that I miss them for me. I really wish I could come home and be with y'all but I am on the Lord's errand for the next two years. I Love you Muchly and I hope to hear from you soon.
Love,
Elder Sahagun
