I'm am being transferred to McAllen! I'm going to be in a bike area and I'm replacing sisters in that area. I'm excited for the change and the things that will come of it. This week was stake conference and it was great! Leroy came to the adult session and also the general session of stake conference. The large focus and emphasis was on the new come follow me program and what it has done to bless the families. It was spiritual and powerful! Yesterday we went and visited some members to say goodbye to them. When we got to their house they had balloons on all the gates and fences. They threw my companion and I a surprise birthday party!! They had BBQ chicken, ribs, sausage, and homemade cake and ice-cream.
Notes from mom: Leroy has his baptism scheduled for this Saturday between General Conference sessions! Unfortunately Elder Blackham will be transferred before the baptism. He is excited to be moving to a new area and closer to the border again where he can use his Spanish more. Last week the missionaries had the privilege of having Elder Katcher from the seventy visit. Elder Blackham's 20th birthday is this Thursday and I'm sure he would love to hear from all of you to wish him a happy birthday! You can reach him at ablackham@missionary.org
