This week we had transfers which was cool. It's funny to be leading the transfer meeting up at the pulpit and to watch all the missionary's reaction from there as we call out their new companion's and new areas. It's impossible for them to hide what they are feeling in the first few seconds after we call it out. haha. Sometimes they get really happy because it's a friend or someone they have heard really good things about, but then it's even funnier to see them when an elder gets a guy they don't like very much or someone they have heard bad about. Haha. What can you do though?
On Monday we went with President to the MTC for him to interview the new missionaries that are coming to our mission and for us to give them a training about obedience and do some practices with them about how to do contacts on the street and stuff. It's hilarious to see all the new little Americans walking around there not understanding a word of what is being said around them and to realize that I was exactly the same haha. We got a new group of missionaries this week that are really good though.
We also did divisions with the zone leaders in Casa Verde and Jaguaré on Thursday and Friday. It was crazy because Casa Verde (MTC area) was my very first area and after 1 year and 4 months without going there I got to go and spend the day there. There is a kid member that used to be a little scrawny kid that wore glasses when I was first there, but I went and visited him on Thursday and he went through puberty and is a giant now! It's funny to talk to people now because they all say "You can understand Portuguese now? Poor little kid didn't understand a word when he first got here! You just sat a looked at me with a blank face when I tried to talk to you haha!" Good times, good times.
My p-day is going back to normal and is going to be on wed. for the next few weeks. Get them emails off before then!
Until next week my friends!
