Justin was transfered to Staten Island. He found out Sunday, June 8th and spent Monday, his p-day, packing. On Tuesday, he travelled to the Mission Office in Queens to meet up with his new companion, Elder Rencher. On Justin's first day in NYC, he was paired up with Elder Rencher to do some "street" teaching so he's already a little familiar with him. He's sad to be leaving Bensonhurst and some of the people in the ward, ie; the ward mission leader, Brother Johnson and his family, the Guerrerros, Bishop Motzing and Brother Carrion, who introduced Elder Maughan and Elder Swift to Harold. (see earlier post) He's excited for a new ward, but sad to see the old one go.
Staten Island is about the size of Brooklyn with half the population. Of all the New York City boroughs, it is the most rural.

Transfers are usually a sad time for the young elders and sisters because they make such great friendships in the areas in which they have been serving. It's a real test of faith and obedience to go "with a happy heart" as I'm sure Elder Maughan did.
You must be a proud mother/family!
What great pictures! That's one handsome Elder:-)
Good to hear from you,
Sister de Paula
