Probably the most significant events of this week have been doing a couple of splits, otherwise known as companion exchanges, which last for a day at a time. On Sunday I went with Elder West up to a ward upstate that has requested short-term interpreting help. We went there for a while every week last year to help the member interpreters there, and now one of them is having shoulder surgery soon, and the bishop there has requested our help again for the next couple of months while she heals. It was nice being upstate once more.
We also did a split with the zone leaders yesterday which was also a nice change of pace. Elder Buckley and I were up in the north part of Manhattan trying to contact some former investigators, many of which live with Dominican family. Really, the whole area is Dominican, and it's a good thing Elder Buckley is fluent in Dominican Spanish even though he's white as all get out. He really enjoyed being up there again.
My honest guess for transfers next week is that I will be with my mission "grandson" Elder West over in the ASL east area. We've been on splits, but not actual companions yet, and if we aren't comps this next cycle, I'm pretty sure I'll close out my time here with him. I only have two transfers left!

Mom: The reason I heard at the beginning of my mission for Wednesday p-days is that for most museums in NYC, Wednesday is donation day, which allows you to enter the museum for any contribution. We've always paid $1 each when we go.
