SO MUCH TO TELL YOU. So Elder Schmidt was transfered. He was sad, but do you know where he was transfered? Guarapuava!!!! That´s where I was before he got here. Did you remember that!? He was actually pretty excited because he had listened to me talk about how it was the best place on the mission for the past 3 months. It was good.
I called the secretaries and they confirmed that my cards got here. I asked them to send it by way of the assistants to me but when they got there they didn´t have it. So it just so happened that on the day, the entire Curitiba/metropolitin area bus system went on strike. Brasil is dependant on the bus system. EVERYTHING shut down for a few days. But we had our transfer meeting.
Ever since I had met him, I wanted to be companions with Elder Croskrey. He is awesome. I was entering into my last transfer and I would receive my last companion. And Elder Croskrey was a Zone Leader, so I thought my chances were done. Well, when we got there, I was chatting with Elder Rogers, the assistant and I jokingly asked him if Elder Croskrey would be my companion. He laughed and said we´ll see. The transfer meeting started and they did the transfers and then at the end, Elder Croskrey was called for his transfer. President Cordon said that he was going to be opening a new zone. What? and that he would be my companion! We got so happy!!! That is awesome! And then President told be that I was assigned to be a Zone Leader again. It was nice.
I am excited to be with Elder Croskrey. As we were leaving, a missionary in our zone that didn´t get transfered walked in and handed me a big envelope. It was my cards! He didn´t even know that it was super important! I was so happy! and I had no clue how my cards got there that fast, or how they got to the meeting! Then I was so amazed and I talked to Sister Cordon about it and she said that the most amazing part of it is that I didn´t get charged anything. Usually when people from the USA send things from the states that are by Fedex usually get a huge tax, and I got it here without a tax.
So when we got back to our house here in 4 Barras, we had a note from the cartório that Marcos´s documents had arrived. So we marked his wedding the next day and then we also had a lesson with Admilson and HE marked a date with us! He is so awesome! The next day we marked a date with his wife.
Well, everything here in 4 Barras is going great! and everything here in the new zone of Boa Vista is also doing great!
I hope all is well at home! Don´t stop believing! I love you all so much|!!!!
com amor!
