Police groundhog story - Transferring to Forney and Kaufman

This week was pretty good but slow. sorry this letter is a little short but i am in a hurry and i am also getting transferred after being in this area for 6 months! i am sad i am leaving this area but it has to happen at one point right? i am getting transferred to Forney and Kaufman.. it is part of the Dallas East Stake and i believe i am in my MTC companions district so that will be way fun! This week we taught just a little bit but that is alright. that happens sometimes in missionary work! on Saturday we helped this member that lives in Tyler and we tore up his whole kitchen floor! That was really fun and this member was also a sherriff so he told us a ton of his really cool police stories. He also had a video of one of his high speed chases that happened last year.. The guy they were chasing ended up stealing a police patrol car and they chased him for a good 20 minutes and then when the chase ended Brother Stricklands Ford F150 police truck was sitting in the front seat of the stolen patrol car! It was so cool! He showed us a lot of his police weapons that he has. One of the weapons was this massive shotgun and he was telling us this story.. So one day he was out in his garden and holes kept appearing everywhere from this Ground hog and he said that he saw some dirt come out of the ground and this ground hog popped his head up and was staring at him and he said usually he carries a gun on him but not this time.. so he ran inside and grabbed the first gun he could see and it so happened to be this huge shotgun.. so he ran outside and he said he blew this little ground hog like 2 or 3 feet below ground and smoke was coming out of every hole in his garden! I was laughing so hard at that story! Anyways.. apparently the police is preparing for war here because i guess Mexico is starting to come into Texas and kill people around the border. Brother Strickland says when they capture hispanics.. The hispanics say that they are not here to come to America but to take it over! so i guess thats whats going on right now. Yesterday was a slow day of packing and saying goodbye to lots and lots of people! My investigators were pretty sad but they understood that i needed to leave.
