This week was great! But super tough!
I'm getting transferred out of Pedregal today. I remember during an interview before the mission, my stake president told me how much love I would have for the people and how hard it would be on the busride out of that first area. He was right as heck.
I'll be going to an area called Cristalina and I'll be finishing the training of Elder Teran (from Mexico but lived in California for a little while). I've heard really good things about the area. Apparently it is a small farm town with a lot of poverty,so I'm thinking it'll be pretty similar to my current area.
We were supposed to have four baptisms this past Saturday but they fell through at the fault of some members. It really killed me to reschedule the baptisms for next Saturday when I knew I wasn't gonna be there and when all four people were excited and ready to go . I've been working with all four of them for almost the whole 18 weeks that I had in that area. I might get permission to go to the baptisms this weekend, but we'll see.
Edson got married this week. Him and his wife, Leice, really like us and invited us. Edson was one of the four that was supposed to get baptized on Saturday. He's one of the most spiritually solid people I've taught on the mish.
On a happier note, after their marriage we were walking through the streets of Gama to take the bus back to our area. There was this huge crowd standing outside a restaurant. They were all watching us because a blonde gringo is a sight to behold here. This bird flew right in front of me and I accidentally kicked it pretty hard. I think the bird was okay so TUDO BEM.
A family here named there dog 'Juju MacLay' a while back. What an honor. I'll attach some pics of her.
I don't have a lot of stories to tell, but I got about one kabillion pics so enjoy.
<3 Elder MacLay
