Yea
a ton of things happened this week. So on Tuesday we got the transfer calls and
I was certain that I was gonna stay and Urrutia was gonna leave. The zone
leaders called us and said Elder Nelson your getting transferred, your going to
guayaramerin, you'll be opening a new area, and you'll be training a new elder. I
was shocked and I waited for like 10 seconds to tell me he was kidding. Guayara
is in Beni and its the furthest away from the city that you can be in and its
10 minutes away from Brazil. Its in the Amazon jungle! When I heard that I
started freaking out a bit cause its basically throwing a little kid in a pool
and hoping he will teach himself how to swim. But the thing is Elder Cook is
coming to our mission and all the missionaries from Beni are flying in for it.
So I have been living with the zone leaders and helping the new elders in the
area. We also had two baptisms this Saturday so I was pretty lucky I could stay
for that and baptize one of them. Its been the weirdest week in my mission
kinda floating around companions and areas and I'm anxious to get to my area and
go to work. I haven't met my new companion yet he has 1 transfer or 6 weeks in
Beni right now and ill finish his training. I wont meet him til like this
Wednesday or Thursday. I have only heard good things about him though. Super
crazy week but I'm chilling and trying to stay focused. Hope all is well at home things are good here. I have seen a
lot of help with my spanish this week, and a lot more comfortable. Something interesting
I studied this week was really how much the Lord loves us and how He wants us
to succeed and be happy. Have a good
week next email I'll be in the jungle.
Love
Elder
Nelson
