First off it has rained every day this
entire week and it just really stinks because nothing dries and considering
that we have to walk everywhere, everything is wet! The joys of winter down here in Rio Grande
And transfers! So normally the mission
president will lock himself in his office on Wednesday and Thursday and then
Friday morning is when everyone starts getting phone calls and we would
generally know where everyone will be going by lunch time on that Friday. Also
if you're "moving up" in the mission world like being called to
District Leader or Trainer or something the president will call you personally
to give you the news. So in possible anticipation for this we changed our cell
phone ring tone for President Parrela to the imperial march from Star Wars to
know if it was him calling. Let me just say I will be traumatized from that
music for a while because they (our senior companions) played a joke on Elder
Gama as if President were calling and changed the name of our cell phone in
theirs and put on that ring tone and then called during our lunch. It was super funny but we all, even though it
was a joke, got a bit excited after that. So all day Friday we tried to go
about our business and not be too jumpy when the phone rang. I'm not gonna lie
I was a little apprehensive because this is the first transfer that something
could actually happen and I might be transferred out of the city. So when we
got about the 3rd prank call for transfers I was a bit on edge to know. And
finally at the end of the night Elder Dos Santos came in to tell us... that
transfers wouldn't come out till the next day ahhhh!! and that President still
hadn't finished transfers and something big was happening. So Saturday morning
the transfers come out and... I'm staying here with Elder Usieda for one more
transfer and oddly enough Elder Dos Santos, who only had one transfer here and
almost finishing his mission, is being transferred. Which is a bit sad because
he is a really great guy and we are good friends but that's the mission. So I'm
excited to figure out the next thing I need to learn from my companion and my
area this next transfer until the 11th of August.
Love you all and I hope your having an
awesome warm dry summer!
