Dear family, friends, familiarized friends, and friendly family, I had my very first actual transfer of my mission this week! I am officially out of Commerce and will now be serving in the Azalea Spanish Branch and the Chestatee English Ward in the Coal Mountain Stake. Currently I live in Cumming Georgia in case anyone wanted to see where exactly that it. This past week has been pretty interesting since we as a companionship are white washing or working in an area none of have been in before since we completely replaced the previous Chestatee Elders. It has been really fun getting to know the members and figuring out the area and getting to know and teach with my new companions. By the way, my new companions are Elder Bird. Elder Bird is assigned to serve in Peru and he actually came in right when I did. Elder Galvez is also assigned to Peru and this is his second transfer so I am technically training now. Both of them are fantastic missionaries and it has been a pleasure being able to serve with them this week Now that I am serving in a Spanish Branch I have been able to use a lot more espaƱol which has been really good! On top of that since we are in a more populated area we get to teach more people in general which is exciting! One cool experience we had was when we helped a man move his car. While we were in a gas station calling some contacts we a car slowly pull to the side of the road and stop. We went to check out the situation and the man's car had just broken down. We offered to push it into a safe place and so we three missionaries on a cold road pushed the car into the parking lot. He was eager to talk to us afterward and even asked us if we could teach him about our church which was cool! I love and miss you all so much, I hope all of you have a wonderful time this almost holiday season! Sincerely, Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler Ps I was asked to do a musical number this next week for the Azalea branch since I offered to direct the congregation. Should be fun!

Dear friends and y'all, This week's updates will be pretty short since I have many things to do because I got transfers and I'm leaving Commerce. I am really going to miss it, but I am really looking forward to my new area. I believe I am going to the coal mountain zone and my area is Azalea? not super sure, but it should be exciting! Other than that, we had some cool visits with members and it has been super fun! I'll send photos in a minute Love you all!

Dear friends, family, and Chris, This week was really uplifting and awesome! We had a TON of member dinners which were a good way to fellowship and help the ward out and we taught quite a few new people. One experience that was super cool was when we visited a woman named Eloise. We were in her area and she had met with sister missionaries before. We stopped by and decided to knock on her door. Her son answered and let us in. Eloise has recently been through an accident and has to wear a neck brace but she was willing to listen to a message. As we taught her the restoration the spirit was incredibly strong and she was very glad to hear our testimonies and felt blessed that we visited her which was personally very edifying. Other than that we had a very fun time at the Commerce Ward trunk or treat party. Love you all so much, God bless you all! Sincerely, Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler
