Friends and family, Well I've had a great time out here in Victor New York. I'll be transferred to C where there is a branch, not a Ward. For those of you who think of those as being an appendage of a tree and a prison term, I'll explain. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we call units "wards." Those units cover a certain geography and and members of the church who live in those boundaries are part of that Ward. Well, in places where there are very few members, they just have a "branch" instead of a Ward. It's just another term and basically means "mini-Ward." I've never served in a branch so it'll be a new experience being somewhere where there are very few members. It will remind me of Burkburnett :) So the challenge last week was to contact your mothers and pray for thanks for them. I forgot to mention that was a challenge, I just typed it as an invitation. I hope you all got a chance to do that! I know I got to talk to my family yesterday which was great! Skype stopped working but due to other technology blessings, I got to call them on the phone. I'll take what I can get! This week's challenge is to go meet someone who you don't know and give them a compliment! I'll be doing a lot of that seeing as I'll be going to a new area. So best of luck with that everyone and have a great week! Love you all! -Elder Moon
