Hey Fam,

This past week has been really awesome, i found out on Sunday that i was getting transferred but you already know that. so i am now in Chandler it is awesome and my new companion is Elder Garfield and crazy news is he has been out 23 months this is his last transfer and so i will kill him. He is awesome and he is from Kaysville Utah another Utah companion. he is short and is really goofy so we have got along well.

my new address is 1120 East Bell De Mar #255 Tempe AZ 85283.

Elder Garfield is so excited that he gets a car and he gets unlimited miles because i cant ride a bike with the medical problems. This past week has been weird because i have been with my parents all week since Wednesday they are leaving tomorrow morning after we see the Bowler family. it has been a good experience for both me and them. it was also cool that i got the opportunity to go back to my old area and perform a baptism and my parents were there to see that. i had to get permission from President because it is not my area anymore. we have been contacting a lot of the people in my old area and it was great to say goodbye to them. we also went to the temple and did sealings it was a great experience, i did 4 pages of 5 names so 20 names of being a son. it was cool.

we had dinner with the Collins family and Lakin at Pei Wei we had a good time and we talked for a while after dinner it was awesome. they are really mad that i was getting transferred, as was i, but i am needed in another part of gods kingdom. we went to my old wards on Sunday and thanked everyone and told them bye and they were sad. i know that i will meet a lot of good people in chandler but i loved my first area because i was there for 6 months and also because it was my first and only area. The Laws fed us dinner on Sunday and then we had a lesson for F.H.E. it was a good last time seeing them. it has been a good week but it has also been a sad one. there is 2 baptisms that are happening in my last area next week and those were all my teachings so i am going to take credit for them. My new son, Elder Milne's new companion is named Elder Schmid. he is straight from the MTC and he is from Delaware and is short like Elder Milne. that is something he enjoyed being the taller one of the companionship.

There is a funny experience that happen on Thursday, the first day after i left the area. on Thursday night, Elder Milne has to ride a bike now and so he is not used to the heat and so he didn't drink enough water and he got dehydrated and almost past out. he said he was dizzy and everything was blurry and couldn't see. than that same night that Elder Koeven my old roommate got hit by a car on his bike and had to go to the hospital and get stitched up. it was funny because last week Elder Williams his companion told me that he needs to think about what he is doing or else he is going to get hit one of these times, and so Elder Schmid had a good first day in the mission field. i was gone for one day and this all happens, i guess i kept everything running smooth.

that was the week, but thanks for all the prayers and everything that you have done. we are on the right track on trying to fix my seizures. they are trying to make it so that i am on 1 medication that way they can see what medication is doing what to me. which one is making me tired and all that fun stuff. i have another appointment in 3 months, unless i feel like i need to go see him sooner and that way they can start taking me off the other medication. but thank you for everything i really am greatful.

Elder Tye
