Viera and Melbourne - December 30, 2013

Hey family, 
I hope every one's doing well this week.  It was nice to talk to all of you on Christmas. I miss all of you so much already! I hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas and that Santa was good to all of you. Thanks for everything all of you sent me it was very nice.  Well I have been ET'ed again, just this last Friday; my companion has been struggling for the past few months and needed to be moved so that she could get some help.  So I was moved to the area right next to mine called Melbourne, the sisters in that area are great and we have been doing well so far.  We are currently taking care of Melbourne and Viera, and then in 2 weeks when the transfer is over and the new one starts I will get a new companion and the other sisters will stick to just Melbourne again.  So I'm just movin, movin, movin all over the place. We have been doing a lot of updating for our area book (which is a book that is records of the work you do in your area) so we have been working like mad to reorganize the Viera area book because it was a total mess and really out dated. We have also been going around to meet the bishop and ward mission leader, etc. to see what it is that we can do since we are basically white washing (that's when you and your companion are new to the area and neither one have any idea of what stage the area is at so you basically start over and refigure it all out) So it's going to be a lot of hard work coming up for us, we don't have any real solid investigators from what I can tell in Veira and a lot of the things have been falling through the cracks.  So we have been making a lot of plans to turn the area around and get things finally moving again. Of course that will be a lot easier once the beginning of next transfer starts and I will only have to worry about one area and we won't have to balance, but we are doing fairly well right now. We will also be on car share starting next transfer with the elders and so that will mean lots of biking for us.  Which is ok because I miss biking and I need the exercise really bad.  
As far as the area goes it is nice, we are fairly close to the beach but not right on it. The city is that Viera is in Melbourne if that makes sense haha, it is colder up here because we are so close to the beach, I haven't noticed that it smells like the beach though. A big zoo is right down the street from where the Viera apartment is, (because I am in the Melbourne one right now) and apparently it is pretty cool. Hopefully my companion and I can head down there on a P-day and spend the day at the zoo, that would be fun. 
Well my week has been sooo different, haha I would write about it to you and everything that has happened with the ET's and such, but I don't exactly have time to write you all a novel.... ha so I will work on writing to you about it or something.  But I would say that it was probably my least favorite week of the mission, besides talking to all of you. Well I love you all and I hope that things are going good for all of you. Hopefully I will have more exciting things to tell you next week! 
Adios!
