Od Nitry

It has been an exhausting week. Everytime I come here to write all of
you I feel like I can't even remember what happened the past seven
days!
Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes! How am I 19 and on a
mission already!? Before I know it all be back home with all of you.

I'll start off with today because I had my first mission transfer! I
got my call two days ago telling me whether I would travel to another
area of Slovakia or stay in Nitra and it was decided that I would stay
here (President told me that forever ago). I love this place and want
to make it better and better, I wouldn't mind staying here another
transfer if I could. I said goodbye to Starsi Clem this morning and it
was a little sad. We had so much fun together and did some fantastic
things in these past two months. I met my new companion at 4:00 this
evening. He's from Finland! That's so cool! His father is spanish and
his mother is finish, he speaks finnish, english, spanish, and slovak!
Starsi Garlick got his new companion as well. Its pretty crazy because
our district (us 4 elders) is the youngest district in the entire
mission. Starsi Garlick and I have only been in country for 2 months,
his companion, Elder Ringer, has only been in for 4 months, and my
companion, Elder cladearan (I doubt I spelt that right), has only been
here for 6 months (Which is pretty long i guess). We have a lot of
growing coming up and I suspect that my Slovak will be incredibly (out
of necessity) better by the end of this transfer.

I'll have to stop responding to everyones individual emails pretty
soon, I think, because I never really have enough time to write a good
enough mass-email anymore (Hah that doesn't mean that I don't want
them!). I already need to go but I hope that you all had a wonderful
Thanksgiving and will have a great week.

Love,

Starsi Lyman
