I know there is a big scary world out there just waiting for me

May 2, 2011

So, the big news of the week: I got transferred!

After two transfers together, my companion and I were both taken out of Américo. But we were both transferred within the same zone, so not much has changed. The area that I was in is a tiny city right next to a really big city called Araraquara. I left the little city, and now I'm in the big city. I'm going to be working in the Araraquara second ward (Ala 2), which is by far the biggest ward in the stake. My new companion is named Elder Woolley. He is actually from the same group as me, so we were in the MTC together and everything. I never got to know him really well in the MTC because we were in different groups, so it will be cool to work with him here. My last comp, Elder Nobre, is going to be in a ward right next to mine, which is cool.

Also, I'm a zone leader now.

So yeah, things are changing. I'm starting my second-to-last transfer, which blows my mind. I could very well be with my last companion in my last area, but I don't know for sure yet. I'm excited to see these changes happen because I need to stay on my toes. If I had stayed in my last area, it probably would have been easier to be lazy and not make the most of the time I have left out here. It was hard to say goodbye to Américo, but I think it was good for us to leave. I feel like my companion and I got there, did everything we could do, and bailed out. It will be cool to be so close to it, though.

Also, I get to call home this week. I still don't know for sure how it's all going to work out because we have a meeting with the stake president and a fireside that our mission president is giving that evening, so it's going to be really nuts.

Anyway, that's what's going on. This week was pretty blah. The only exciting thing that's happening is transfers.

I love you! I hope you're all doing well! Talk to you soon!

luv
