  .... Jason is Transfer to LINDSEY ,CALIFORNIA

Hola everyone

Habla Elder Glowa, todo el trabajo en Madera es awsomebroso. (English translation: Hi everyone this is Elder Glowa talking, all the work in Madera is awesome!)

Ok so we got transfer calls yesterday :D I am going to Lindsey! Its south so I am going to be no where near Madera. I'm not going to lie this is really hard, I thought that people telling you to stop coming by was painful, leaving an area is so hard. The ward is my family, I have grown to love them and they all tell me that they love me also. I have had at least 3 members say that they are going to call the mission president and tell him that I'm staying put in Madera. I know that its hard to leave but the Lord needs me in Lindsey now, I have done my part and sowing and reaping in Madera, now I have to move on to were the field is whitest for me personally.

I will never forget the great times and people I have taught and met here in Madera. Honestly I feel like a super hero, we go were we are needed, have special power, and most importantly we serve without even expecting a thank you or anything, and of course I have a secret identity.... (no one knows my first name!!!!) I'm not going to lie being a missionary is even cooler then if I was spider-man, and you remember how much I love spider-man, lol.

So in other new, the families that I have been working with for about 3 months the Suarez and Orea families, we have goten them with baptismal dates!!!!!! That's nine baptismal dates in one week. I am so sad that I won't see them get baptized but I know that the work and effect I could have on them is done, they are in the hands of Elder Price and his new companion Elder Sanches. We went by the Orea's and Suarez last night to take pictures (Yes mom believe it or not I do take some pictures, just I'm not done labelling them so you'll get them as soon as I'm done that, which can be anywhere between today and in 19 months.)

Oh next Sunday I will have been on a mission for 5 months! its crazy, time flies so fast it is unbelievable. ok so back to yesterday. We went by and taught the Orea's and took pictures and Louis the younger one was really sad, he always says "Glowa your my favourite, Glowa I'm glad your teaching us, Glowa when are you going to come back and visit." They even asked where I was moving to and said to keep an eye out for houses there for them. When they prayed in the lesson the sincere love and relationship between us was felt. They ask Heavenly Father to bless me were ever I go and in whatever I do. I wanted to cry, the spirit was amazing and the bond we have is amazing. I get attached to easy, its good and horrible, if this keeps up with people I really don't think my heart can last two years of leaving the people I love behind.

On are way out they surprised me and remembered my two favourite things (Flan, the cheap kind they buy at a store we have here called the Esparanza (means hope in English) and A drink called Jarradito Tamarindo flavoured. Its made in Mexico so you know its good. So they remembered and surprised me with that, I think we are going to stop by there house again before I leave so that I can get their zip and write them. So then we went to the Suarez's to teach a lesson and take pictures, not as emotional or anything because relatives were over, so we are going to see them again. But its hard to leave the people you love behind, it feels like the day Ben and I said good-bye all over again. I know that this is what needs to happen and as the Lords servant I must go forth and do His will, He needs me to be in Lindsey, so that I were I must go. I have to get packing so I don't have to much time this week. I'll write more next week. I love you all and thank you for all you do. I can really feel your prayers, and your love.

Thanks for everything

Love Elder Jason Glowa
