the botucatu waterfalls
hey my family!! how are you guys doing!? its sounds like everything is
going great back in idaho. everything is going well here as well! i
will jump right into details:
as you know, transfers were this week and i was... not transfered!
yeah! but i did get a new companion. His name is Elder Bavender. he is
from colorado. his mom said that the men from his ward went to the
same baseball game that dad went to. thats a coincidence. i am really
excited to work with him!! i am not excited to try to explain him like
you always ask when i get a new companion. you know i am not good at
that. but he is a great missionary and i will learn tons with him. he
is humble. i am training him as a zone leader. i dont know how much
training i will have to do though. he will probably teach me just as
much as i can teach him though. he got here one transfer before me. so
i still havent had a companion that arrived in the mission after me.
that is pretty wierd! but it isnt a problem.
i am definitely going to be tested this transfer. we are blessed to
have some of the mission's most difficult missionaries in our zone!
there was even one elder that untucked his shirt as we got off the bus
and left it out just becuase i told him to tuck it back in. he is
going to try and test my patience! we will see how things go! we didnt
baptize anyone this week once again :( but that will change now! the
zone is going to change tons now! elder nothum is training now and his
"son" is going to be a great missionary i can already tell! we went to
campinas yesterday. i have never really been used to long trips until
i got here. i was on the bus for over 8 hours yesterday. i woke up at
4 too. at least i dont have to drive though so i can sleep on the way.
but it is normal to ride the bus for a long time now! the mission is
moving a little slow right now and needs to move. there are a lot of
missionaries that will leave the mission at the end of the transfer
that, unfortunately, dont really trust in what president tanner is
doing. that will move things a lot i think! but that is pretty much
all that is going on here in botucatu.
sounds like you all had a good week. way to go in the powederpuff game
olivia. and it sounds like you had a good time at the dance. i got to
run home right now though so i will probably gt back on in like. love
you guys!
love,
elder long
