We had transfers come in this past Saturday and I got a special call from President, and this was the conversation;
Elder Jacklin: Good evening President, how are you?
President Dias: Good evening Elder Jacklin, I am doing well.
Elder Jacklin: Great, what do you need?
President Dias: I have one question for you. (With exaggerated seriousness)
Elder Jacklin: What is it?
President Dias: Are you ready to train?
...
...
...
...
Elder Jacklin: ... Heh, what?
President Dias: You will be training this next transfer in Altiplano, are you ready?
Elder Jacklin: Ready, no, do I accept, yes.
President Dias: Awesome, but, ARE-YOU-READY. (He said that in English to make it more dramatic)
Elder Jacklin: ... ... ... ... .................... Yes, I´ll do my best.
President Dias: Great, have a great night Elder. Until later!
Elder Jacklin: Until... ... ... Dang. Well I´m gonna die.
So if you guys didn´t catch the message in the little story, I am going to be training this next transfer.
I don´t know who is my new companion, and I won´t know until Wednesday, but I am super excited for the new opportunity.
So right now I am in Manaíra right now for the next two days waiting for the Greenies to get here.
This should be very interesting.
I´m sad to say goodbye to Elder Souza though, he was a really good companion and he helped me a lot to prepare for this, this past transfer.
I´ll still be in the same area, so at least I won´t be opening an area.
So this week we didn´t have much happen, there were a lot of meetings this week and we didn´t have time to do much in our area.
But I do have highlights for this week though.
So this week I had the grand opportunity that very few Elders experience in the mission, and that is that I baptized with normal clothing.
So some Sisters in our district had a baptism and they only brought clothing for the person being baptized, and there were no members from the ward there.
So I had the closest clothing to white, so I had to do the baptism with my tan pants, so that was an interesting experience.
The other experience of the week, was that I got to speak with my family again and that was super awesome, it was awesome to hear that many people I know are marrying and that I will have another Nephew or Niece which will be awesome!
So that´s all for this week. I hope everyone is having a great time and having amazing experiences.
Until next week everyone, love you all!
