Promoted to Senior?

So I know you are all wondering what happened with moves call...

Well, I will be staying with Elder Rollins in Terenure. I am going to be the Senior Companion. (A senior companian is responsible for making the decisions prompted by the Holy Spirit regarding the companionship). I am happy about that as I love Elder Rollins. He is great to be around and He has such a great personality. I love him.

Sometimes I was a little jealous that Elder Gill, my other companion in our 'three-way' companionship, gets to go home. But then I realise that it will be my turn soon. That time will eventually come and I need to focus on my mission and not get distracted. And by doing this, I will continue to love my mission and love the people here in the Scotland and Ireland mission.

It is sometimes weird being back in a two-some again. It seemed like even though it wasn't for very long, I forgot what it was like. But it will be alright. I am with someone that I like and we get along well with each other.

So here's to another great moves with Elder Rollins.

Famous for My Tim Tam Slams.

Whilst Elder Meyer has been away, he has introduced many of his companians to the famous Australian Tim Tam slam. None of them can resist as Elder Meyer is constantly asking for more to be sent over. Between these delicious treats and the fudgy-wudgy chocolate chip cookies he makes, who wouldn't want to be Elder Meyer's companion? Seriously.

New Companions, Elder Gill and Elder Rollins.

From Left to Right: Elder Rollins, Elder Gill and I.
 
My companions names are Elder Gill and Elder Rollins. Elder Gill is from England, from Newcastle in England. He was my zone leader in Belfast, so I knew him from before. Elder Gill is funny, he is cheeky sometimes. Elder Rollins and I will be killing of Elder Gill as this is his last transfer and he goes home at the end of the six weeks, so I am killing off another missionary. Elder Rollins, he is from Colorado and he has been out 6 months on his mission. Elder Rollins is a nice missionary, he is sensible.

It seems very different in a trio with 2 other companions. I have to get use to it as we have only been together for a few days so it's just the starting stages. I will have to get used to the new area also, but I think after a while it will be fine and I will love it just like everywhere else I have served.

ELDER MEYER HAS MOVED TO...

The Republic of IRELAND.
 
Elder Meyer has recently been transferred to an area called Terenure in Dublin, Ireland. So to recapture his travels thus far, refer to the following map. He has served in a total of three areas, each within a new country. This means Elder Meyer has been to all three countries included in his mission area. 

 
Now I know you are all wondering what happened with moves call. Well Elder Burt is staying and he will be training a new missionary whilst I will be moving. I am moving to a place called Terenure, in Ireland. It is near Dublin. So I am going to the Republic of Ireland! I am excited to serve there. I will be serving in a trio this time, so with 2 other missionaries. One is Elder Gill, who I know. He was my zone leader in Belfast. He is from England. The other missionary's name is Elder Rollins. I don't know much about him as he might be recently new on his mission. So I am happy I am going there, but I am sad that I am leaving this area of Dundee. I have enjoyed this area and I am going to miss it, but I can't wait to come back after my mission and see it all again. I hate the fact that I have to pack now and I only have 2 days till I move. I want to go say goodbye to people as well, so it is going to be a busy 2 days doing all that.
