Well as you can probably tell by the title this week was pretty hectic. let me start with the cool stuff:
1.
We had emergency transfers in week 3 of this transfer so now I´m with a completely new companion and a completely new area. My new companion´s
name is Elder Pereira. He´s soo awesome. I learn so much from him
everyday.
2. We had a baptism this last Saturday and we
baptized this 10 year old kid named Benjamin. Apparently he has been
waiting for about a month to be baptized. But we received permission
from president this week to baptize him. It was sooo amazing to see how
prepared he was. I think there is something up with me and kids. Because
he is the second kid of the three people that I have baptized. If
that´s all my mission will be then bring it. I love teaching kids.
3.
Our pension here is soo crazy. As a pension, she is pretty good but
her and her husband I think are a little bit on the crazy side. I get so uncomfortable around them because they talk so fast and I can´t
understand a thing. And then they get on me about that because I have 5
months in the field and I know "nothing" about Spanish. It gets a
little annoying sometimes but I have learned to just eat and not say
anything and for some reason it works!
Ok so
last Monday We were sitting around and I was writing in my journal when my old companion received a call from the zone leaders. When I found out
it was the zone leaders I thought we were going to have splits. But
then Elder Alegre told me that our leaders wanted to talk to me. That´s
when things got a little iffy. So I took the phone and they pretty much
told me that I was leaving Vitarte and going to a new Zone; an Emergency
transfer. Well about 3 hours after that I was all done packing and went
to bed. Then we had to go to the office and that´s where I met my new
companion Elder Pereira. He is so amazing! But the thing is that I think
that he will leave this transfer which means I only have two more weeks
to learn the new area and lead it after this transfer. I will say that I
am a little stressed but I know that I can get this area down because
it is so small.
I miss you all and love you tons,
