Dear those that care,


Quite the week this last one that has passed. The most recent thing that has happened to is that transfer calls just came and the two other elders that are in our area are both being transferred.
Last week we re-divided the area and we gained a lot of new ground to cover as well as new members to ask for help from. Due to the transfer of both of the other elders they gave us their investigators because we know their investigators already and we will be better to teach them. The cool thing is we just marked baptism dates with two of them for day 23 of this month! COOL RIGHT!!! They are two young men and they really like Elder G and I so it will go good for us!
On Saturday as we were going to another city on the bus we were involved in a minor bus accident. It was quite the experience. We were sitting in the bus when all of the sudden there was a really loud noise. It sounded like the bus had ran over a motor cycle or something. Because I have already seen like 7 dead mangled bodies on my mission I didn’t look back to see what it was. The bus stopped and everyone ran of. I thought they were running off because it was on fire but in the end I saw that they were just running off because they wanted to get on the next bus. As I got off I saw that all that had happened is that a little car had for some reason hit the wheel on the back of the bus and the bus basically passed over the hood of the car. NO DEAD BODIES WHERE THERE! I was pretty exited about that. Because everyone ran to get another bus we were the last to get off when the bus driver asked us to be witnesses to the accident. I said I didn’t see it and he explained what happened and asked me to witness. I said sure but then I thought….isn’t a witness supposed to see it and not just say what the driver says what happens. Oh well. Let’s just hope that they don’t call. I could just use the gringo factor and I’m sure that they will leave me alone.
Well good second week of the year to everyone and a happy transfer week to all!
