Comfort. I guess it's what we unconsciously feel when we´ve
settled into a predictable routine. It's when life is easy, things are going
swimmingly, there are few surprises. It's a good feeling, but I also think its
something that interferes with our progression. New experiences and changes can
bring new enlightenment.
Wednesday, 1:00 P.M. Elder R and I had just finished
eating lunch at home, the member wasn't going to be home so she left us with
some cash. We were preparing to leave and we had an awesome day planned. The
phone rings. Elder K, our zone leader, asks us how we are doing, how the
day is going and then continues, "Are you guys close to home?" Luckily
this very moment we were home. "Elder R, pack your bags, your being
transferred."
That was the shock that came this week. Because of an
incident, not any missionary's fault we had to have an emergency transfer. We
spent the entire day traveling, finishing up some last minute things for Elder
R.
My new comp is Elder F. L. from
Recife. He's a new missionary with roughly 5 months. He's been in the zone ever
since I arrived so we already kinda new each other. He's a great guy, hilarious
and we share tons of interests. He break dances so I´m going to have take advantage
of that! Although, I tried to mimic a move of his and I tweaked my knee pretty
bad... not pretty, but only 7 more weeks :D
That brings me to my next point. Do I have dental and doctor
appointments marked, because I need to get myself checked out...
Returning to my original subject. Saying goodbye to Elder
R was difficult. We had incredible rhythm, we knew each other so well, so
many experiences we've passed through. I love that guy.
But I'm with a new missionary who is teaching me new things
each day. change is good.
We had some incredible miracles this Sunday, including a
mother and son whom entered the church just out of curiosity and stayed. We
also had a family that we lost contact with about a month ago suddenly reappear
at church. The english class is providing new people to teach each week and we
had a new AWESOME couple from the ward be called as ward missionaries (that
couple I mentioned that lived in CT. They are like my parents here! ) They have
awesome awesome ideas, so I'm stoked!!!
I love you all so much, I hope you are enjoying the warmer
weather!
