So on Thursday afternoon, I was walking in the street, trying to contact some old investigators from the area book with my companion, Elder Freitas, when we got a phone call from the assistants. Which is pretty normal, being the Zone Leaders and all. They tell us that there's going to be a transfer, and I figured it would be a member of our zone that would be leaving, right? Yeaaahhh.... Nope. They then proceeded to tell me that we had to go home immediately so that Elder Freitas could pack his bags and be in Piracicaba the next day at 9 in the morning, because he was being transferred, and would be going to Pirassununga. Tudo bem. So, logically, I thought that the Zone Leader from Pirassununga would be coming to stay with me, which is Elder Russel, who is from my group. It made more sense because I knew that he wasn't getting along too well with his companion. But then Elder Shumway, the assistant, asked if I wanted to talk to my new companion. And of course, I did. So what does he do? He hands the phone to his companion, Elder Mesquita.
Now wait a minute. Elder Mesquita has 2 weeks left until his
mission is over, and is currently the other AP. Buuuuuuut he is now my
companion! Elder Russel ended up going to São João da Boa Vista, and Elder
Albernaz (my last companion who was in São João) became the new AP! I told him
that would happen! So now I have been the companion of three different APs.
Elder Gade (who is the assistant in Ribeirão), Elder Albernaz, and now Elder Mesquita.
I am super happy having Elder Mesquita here. I've known him since São Carlos
more than a year ago, and I feel really privileged to have him as my companion.
Although he'll only be here until the 4th of October, I'm really excited to
work with him here.
Also, I drove a car this week.
Last night, we also had a fireside with President Canuto. He
came here with Sister Canuto and the APs, and that was really cool. Elder
Freitas had been planning everything, but then he got transferred, so his plans
got wiped out and we went with something completely different. But it ended up
really good. There were almost 100 people there (which is really good for a
ward that has a frequency of 80-90) and the ward is now really excited to do
missionary work. Not to mention the fact that we're going to have another set
of Elders in our ward in a couple of weeks. I'm pretty excited about that.
Today I went to the doctor to talk about my hernia. He told
me nothing. Absolutely nothing. Soo..... we'll just have to wait until I get
home to see what we'll do about it. Like... He said some things... But it was
basically everything I know and that I'm already doing. So he told me
nothing.
Well, I love you all! And Elder Hopper #2 only has 10 weeks
left of being number two! TEN WEEKS.
