Hey Everyone,

I have been transferred to Princeton/Trenton. My area has like 12 major colleges and universities, so that's kinda cool and lots of history. My new address is 9223 Foxtail Ct. Lawrenceville, NJ 08648. It's funny my Companion is from Orem but went to the nasty Orem High School. Lots of good things happening in Princeton. We have a great ward. Yesterday this guy from Russia called our ward and wanted to meet with us. We went to his house and he is super prepared; it is crazy. We set him with a baptism date for Dec. 26th. We are teaching this guy from Africa who used to be a preacher but is now a huge drunk. It's sad to see how stuff like that really ruins peoples lives. It really makes you feel good when you are helping people like this every day. I have really been humbled as I have started to see how blessed I really am and everything I am thankful for. Princeton is such a crazy place. People here are so weird. Trenton is crazy; so many Bloods and Cryps and some other gang so it's crazy but I love it. I am doing really well and so happy that my health is doing a lot better. These next few weeks are crazy. We have all mission conference Wednesday. Saturday is breakfast at the mission home for my zone. We are going to the temple in NY sometime and we have Christmas and New Years. Well I love and miss you all and can't wait to hear from you all. P.S. Emma Watson from Harry Potter goes to school at Princeton University- Kinda crazy (Actually, she attends Brown University).

Love, Elder Sanders

P.S. Heidi, has my EMT stuff still not come and I sent my watch home a few weeks ago when I sent that last set of pictures on that CD home. Did you get my watch and have it fixed? I can't wait for Christmas to be able to call home and talk to you all.

Hey Everyone,

Well I found out last night that I am being transferred so don't send anything to Flemington anymore. Send everything to the mission office in Parsippany till I tell you my new address. Tomorrow I will find out where I am going. A lot has been going on here. Today a member is taking us fishing so I am excited for that. Yesterday I had my first baptism and I was able to be the one to baptize Ethan. This lady in my ward does natural herbs to heal the body and tested me and gave me something for free and now I am feeling so much better health wise. A few weeks ago my companion and I went to the high school to try and be Spanish tutors and the school cop stopped us and scanned our ID; that was fun. Then in a Spanish lesson this lady started to breast feed, that was a wake up call and then we had a fun experience with a drunk guy. That's really all that has been going on. I am doing really good and excited to see where I am going next and who my new companion is. It has started to get really cold here but still no snow. I hope everything back home is going well. I love and miss you all.

Love, Elder Sanders
