This week is transfers. It was a short five-week transfer. I have learned to truly hate them. Many missionaries are going home that we know this transfer. It rips my heart out because I have learned to love some of them like my own children. Elder Walker DeShazer goes back to Colorado on Thursday. We say our final goodbyes on Wednesday. He has been here since October and we have been with him through thick and thin. I just promised him that we would come see him in Colorado where he lives. It's so hard. Elder Grimaldi is from Italy. I may never see him again in this life. He's a character with the weird sense of humor. He may be some famous Hollywood producer or movie maker someday. I can always say I knew him way back when.
