Yooooo! Transfer calls were last Friday and obviously I'm staying in Palatka with elder Andrus! We were so happy! I hope I stay here for a while! There were also some missionaries who I was close with in Arlington that got transferred down to the Jax south zone where I am so I'm excited to see them more often! Also our car that we have is almost at 50000 miles and that when they retire the cars and get a new one so we are going to get a sweet new car in the next week! Nothing better than a new car smell! 

So this last week elder Andrus and I worked super hard on getting people to church because we havent been able to this whole transfer! A lot of them say they are coming and then we call them Sunday morning and ask if they are still coming and they always seem to have something get in the way. So this week we were more bold in our invitations and we used and invitation that Lynn G. Robbins told us we could use. We say, "We invite a lot of people to church and a lot say they will go but never do because they are too polite to tell us that they really can't ever go. Do you have anything that may cause you to miss coming to church this Sunday because it would help us out a lot if we knew now than later?" We used that for one of our investigators and they quickly said that they weren't like that and they really wanted to come to church! Sadly they still didn't show up. We also invited 5 more people who were supposed to come and all 5 cancelled Sunday morning. It was really frustrating at first plus the talks given in sacrament meeting were insanely good! Our goal this week is too use Lynn G. Robbins church invite to invite those we are still going to meet that didn't show up to church. Please pray for our investigators to make it to church this week! 

Right now we have kinda cleaned up our teaching poole because we were teaching a few people for a while but they never were really progressing or keeping commitments so we dropped quite a few people but we have found some really promising people lately so we still have a lot of people to teach! Our three main investigators are Larry, Alvin, and John who I talked about last week. They are all very promising. Alvin has been working with the missionaries for a while and hasnt been baptized so hopefully we can get somewhere with him. But Larry is the one that we feel is most ready. John is ready but has a huge word of wisdom problem so it may take a little while. Larry actually had a good excuse for not coming to church because his roof broke from a big rain storm we had so he had to fix it before the next storm came which was on Sunday. So we should be seeing him and his wife next Sunday and also we should be teaching his wife this week as well. 

I'm super happy that I'm staying in Palatka! It's going to be another great transfer! Thanks for all the prayers and love! I love you all so much! Keep on keepin on!

Love,
Elder Plumb

Also we went to a really cool fort in saint Augustine last pday with the Gourleys! The Gourleys are so awesome! They spoil us so much!
