Transfer to Pototan! I feel like a champ right now!

Whats up everyone?! I will start off by saying right now I am in Iloilo Province in the town of Pototan! It is a small town. Kind of like Sibalom. It has tons of farms and we walk lots! Way more than we did in the city haha! My companion right now is Elder Verzo from the Philippines. He in seriously tiny, like five foot nothing, but he is sweet. He is really new to the mission though so it will be a good challenge for me. He is only about 5 months in the mission. I won’t lie, I was way sad leaving Roxas City, I loved it there. The members were awesome, the food, the house, just everything was sweet. Thursday night before I left, our awesome members took us out to dinner! It was Joy Eyao, Joan Tan, Vicky Eyao and Wilma Clavell. They are so sweet haha I will miss them! They took us to a way good restaurant and we got dinner and dessert. I will also miss our investigators there in Roxas. Another weird thing about here is that it is only two of us at the house. To be honest I don’t like it way well. It is just weirdly quiet. What is cool is that we live right next door to our branch president, President De Pablo, who is a good guy too! My health is doing awesome! I have almost no symptoms of anything. My cough is gone. My stomach doesn't hurt. My congestion is all gone! I am way embarrassed that you all fasted, but thanks haha it worked. I feel like a champ right now! My area right now is struggling. We have like five total investigators haha. I couldn’t tell you how many we had in Roxas, so many! We will be focusing a lot on rescuing less actives and through that we will find lots of new investigators. Our ward has about 250 members but only 65 go to church. Our area is also GIANT haha it is so big its nuts. Everything is good, no problems so thank you all for everything and I love you all. Bye Elder Garrett Christensen I love you momma! Hey Dad, What’s going on? It sounds like you are all doing well and enjoying yourselves there in St. George. My health is doing great and I am in my new area called Pototan. It is okay, just a weird change. My companion is nice though. We don’t have a lot in common but we both want to work hard so we will be okay together. That stinks about Tadd Challis. He would have probably been Dixie’s star. I have no roomies so that is weird since I have only been in 4-man houses since I have been on my mission. Thanks for the NFL update. It was good to hear all that’s going on with that stuff. I am glad you are staying busy with your church calling. I miss you tons dad and love you more! Elder Garrett Hey Britt, Yes I feel a lot better thank you for asking. My stomach ache is gone so that is nice. That is sweet that you guys are doingwell at soccer. I am happy that you are sticking with it haha. That is cool that you are starting track soon. Good luck! I love you lots, Elder Gary
