Transferred

Dear family and friends,
well i got transferred to west jordan west zone! this is a great change i am very excited to be here. i was in South jordan for a long time. So if you look at google maps im the farthest west you can get. at 75th west! i even cover copperton! that small town out there. thats a weird town. its a regular small town with 100 year old houses. The people are very nice and the area seems fairly cool. Everyone i see walking is smoking there but theres a pretty big ward there apparently. 
I am still trying to get down where i am going and where everything is but after about a week here i think i know it better than my companion who has been here for 6 weeks. His name is Elder Fuller. hes kinda a Goober but i like him. Hes always talking about taking over the world. As long as he doesn't kill me i told him im okay with that. we will have a lot of interesting conversations im sure. haha i do like him though. hes been out 2 transfers so i get to help him out of his training phase.
So im still a District leader which is a slight drawback but i have 3 companionships in my district now. So this is the biggest amount of elders ive ever been over and the whole zone is basically in my district (geographically) so i dont really have to get permission to go anywhere! because it all in my district! haha
We had a stake conference yesterday and saturday and Elder Larry S. kacher of the seventy was the presiding authority. He did an amazing job! the spirit was very strong and i knew he was who he was, an especial representative of jesus christ. it was great to talk to him for a little and hear about what he does. He was in the middle east for like 5 years! He has a lot of interesting stories. This stake conference was perfect for me to get to know the stake president and his councilors and see most of the stake.
I love this area! i was so happy when i came here. Our landlords are a youngerish couple. no kids. they are about late 20s and they are pretty cool. after we plan i go down and we talk. My bed is so comfortable. i actually sleep through the night now! i never did in south jordan. man a good nights sleep really helps me out! 
We have so much potential here! WE have 2 on date already and probably will have 2 more on date this week! i love teaching and this i feel will give me a great opportunity to teach many many people.
Well i better go. Elder fuller is done and i dont want to keep him waiting.
love elder Salmon
