Dear Friends & Family,
We didn't do much for New Year's Eve because we needed to report and be inside the apartment at 6:00 because it's dangerous.
Well, I have certainly astonishing news. I received a transfer call. I have no idea again where I'll be going. Transfer Meeting is tomorrow. It's been very difficulted to bid farewell to the members and the people we visit. I need to pack still. We've been very occupied today. I needed to escort some missionaries to my old area of Sunset Park in Brooklyn so that they could buy some scripture cases from a member. We did that this morning. I haven't had much time. I'll pack up after this and later tonight because we need to visit some last people. We'll visit Felipa Martinez and Lucia, Familia Rivera, Familia Soto, and Familia Fuentes. Also, I have to contact some more people. We visited many yesterday. We had our appointment with Pedro and Rosalia yesterday after church, Teresa-a recent convert, hermana Burgas, and Familia Gudiel.
Wow! So many people. Jose Rivera, who's not a member yet remarked that they would miss me immensely. They all are so grieved that I'm leaving. Many have asked my information and they wait until next September for my return. I woke up intermittently last night dreaming only of these members and these people. I have enjoyed the time that I served them with my heart. It grieves me that now I make another significant landmark prior to my expiration as a missionary.
The anticipation is the worst. I would simply like to be aware of where I'll be spending next months of my mission. I perhaps have two more areas awaiting me prior to the conclusion of my mission.
Who knows? Perhaps I'll serve somewhere nearby.
Anyhow, I love you and hope that you enjoy your week!
Love,
Elder Steven Roberts.
