Kadens Doing Great In India

Transfered Again Sorry For The Updates

April 7
hey mom, whats up well ya i didnt tell anyone about my birthday. and i actually kindof forgot the last couple days until sis nichols called me to wish me. haha its her b day too. so my comp found out and when i got here thismorning they had a cake for me. and i had to eat food out of my comps hand because thats culture and they would be offended. i actually dont mind anymore. haha. oh so i have offically had to take 5 flights in the last 5 days. due to the situation in hyderabad thye were going to postpone transfers but last min they didnt. so my flights were kindof all over the place. first took taxi to raj at 9 am friday then flew from raj to hyderabad had a 4 hr layover then to bangalore then to coimbatore. i reached at 9 p.m. the sucky thing is is that i had to pick my bags at each stop cuz the flights werent connecting and i had to pay overage charges 3 times. so i spent like 5 000 total. so sorry i have spent a bunch of money the last month. sister kamala the paralized sister is poor and her home is very hot. they have no money for a fan so i baught one. i know were really not supposed to do that. but i love her a lot and she needed it. now i gotta buy all new food stuff for the apt today also. oh and then after 2days here we had to turn back and fly to bangalore mon night for zone leaders council and we just got back from bang this am. the council was awesome though. sis nichols cooked cinamin rolls. fried chicked potatoe salad. mmmm. but we did a lot of planning for the mission and changed some plans to try and help the mission.
anyways coimbatore is nice. its supposed to be a cool place but this year is like the first year it hasnt been i guess. haha. the sun is way strong here also. my first day we were only in the sun a few hrs and my arms and face got burned. our area is kindof far from our apartment so we are the only elders in coiimbatore to not have cycles. after all this walking im acctually starting to miss cylcling. haha. the zone is the smallest in the mission but it has a big impact on the mission right now. our apartment is nice too! my bedis too short so i have to sticky my legs through the bed frame so i can sleep. haha i actually am gonna switch with the apartment next to us. we stay on the same floor as one other companionship wich should be fun. e riley is coming to be the district leader here so ill get to see him every day. he is stuck in kgf until the person who is going to fill his spot comes from hyderabad. i hope soon because we are in a threesome and trying to cover 2 areas. oh and no need to send anything for bribes haha. thanks though. anyways i cant believe it snowed that much. sounds like maybe winter was a bit late this year. maybe it will just make it so there is some water in newton when i get back. :) oh ya and my comp is elder palla from visak. hes 25. hes a hard worker and obedient. always joking too. haha. its always diferent being with a native but im excited. our area is kinda down right now and were both excited to do our best to pick it up. he is the only member of his family and has his masters in couputers. everythings going great right now. happy and healthy. but gotta go we had computer probs earlier so i dont have time to write more cuz we got some stuff to do. so tell dad and todd thats why. thanks for all you do. i love you and hope you have a great week.

hey mom well another good week has gone bye. thats funny its raining mud. haha. i actually felt the first drop of rain i have felt in probably more than 6 months on our way here to email. but thats about all i felt, one drop. haha. but there have been a few clouds in the sky the last couple of days wich i havent seen either. so maybe well get a bit of moisture soon? we had a good week and have a few people who are really starting to progress towards baptism. i think i have told you about dasu and bheemaswari. but they are set for the 25th and they seem excited about it. so bernards family is doing great in the branch. he recieved a calling as a sunday school teacher. i couldnt believe it when they called a brand new member to do that. but this sunday he taught sunday school. its pretty cool to see people just fulfil there calling even though they dont know much yet.
so anyways you asked about transfers last week and transfer calls came last friday. i answered the phone and was just talking to the assistants waiting to give the phone for garcia. but then they were like, hey your going to coimbatore. i was like what?? really you mean garcia. but nope e barr is off to coimbatore. its in tamilnadu. i got called up to be a zone leader over there. so not only a transfer but then zone leader kinda shocked me. haha. but i guess thats what i get for telling you i wouldnt be transfered. it will be good for me and give me some more resposibilities and get to speak in zone conf wich im not too stoked about. haha. my new comp will be e palla. hes from visak. so another native. im excited tho maybe ill learn how to cook some more curries cuz i dont remember how to cook they ones i learned any more. garcia is gonna start his 5th transfer here! thats a pretty dang long time. hes cool with it though. so were supposed to go on friday but i guess there are some protest going on in hyderabad again and pres doesnt want anyone going in or out of hyderabad so they postponed us a week wich kinda sucks cuz they tell us about transfers a week early so we can de register from the FRO office and now another week. but we will just have to work hard for another week. but dang everyone is trying to feed us now so im gonna burst if we have to eat at someones house every day. "im full" doesnt stop them from another full plate of rice. haha.
well everythings going great. sounds like everyone is as busy as ever. love you and have a great week!
