This week we had transfers, and I got sent away from Cidade
Aracy. It was a pretty sad parting from our Bishop. He actually cried a little
bit. I almost did. But not quite. We found out only on Saturday night that I
was leaving, so it didn't really give me any time to say goodbye to anyone, but
I guess that's alright. It was cool because the transfer fell right on a fast
Sunday so I was able to bear my testimony one last time in that ward and tell
everyone that was there that I was leaving.
Soooo today we left São Carlos at 6:00 AM and when we got to
Ribeirão Preto, I found out I was going to Araraquara! So now I'm here with my
new companion, Elder Kuster! And I became senior companion this transfer. So
now I get all the responsibility and if anything goes wrong, it's my fault!
Yaaaay!
The new area that I'm in is quite a bit better off than
Cidade Aracy. It's not quite the favela that my last area was. But it should be
good! I'm pretty excited to get to work here. We met the Bishop here already
today and he seems like a really cool guy and seems really excited to work.
This transfer should be a good one!
Not much really happened this week. But I was talking to
Jonas and Shirley (the couple that'll get married here in a little bit) and we
were talking about Jonas going through the temple. They'll be married on the
10th, which means he could be baptized on the 10th. Which means that on
December 10th, 2013 he could go through the temple. And guess who will be at the
Campinas temple on that exact day? I will!! So if everything goes right and we
get President to approve the baptism and confirmation done on the same day, I
could go through the temple with him on the last day of my mission. I just
thought that would be pretty cool. We'll have to see how all that works out.
Now it's all up to Elder Guerra to get them through and baptize Jonas!
Also, Sônia might be baptized this week. But I guess I won't
really know about that for a while. I hope it happens! Though it might be
devastating to her and Beneditos' relationship... Benedito still isn't ready
and it seems that Sônia's willing to get rid of him to be able to be baptized.
Anyways, that's all for this week. Next week I'll send some
pictures! I love you all!
