Family,
I am getting transfered!!!!! I am pretty
dang excited and a little nervous....haha. I will go to the last city
of the Bahia...16 hours on the bus.....yikes....haha. I will train a new
missionary and open up the area (as in both of the misisonaries are
leaving the area and we will replace them). Its a little tiny group in a
city called Mucuri....Pretty crazy.
So this
week we had the Christmas conference. I gave my "testemunho de saída" at
the conference because it is the last zone conference I will have a
part of.....pretty sad. But its good. Its all good. That was lots of
fun. We had great food. Some really good Turkey. We didnt eat
beans....thats a first...haha. I actually kind of missed it...thats
weird. I love brazilian beans....haha.
Then we
worked really hard and met some really good people. I was doing some
divisions this week and doing some interviews so I didnt work a whole
lot in our area. I kind of missed some of our investigators. But it was
super nice to help other missionaries. Elder Hoggan and I are going to
be transfered....wow I am going to miss that kid SO MUCH....I love that
kid so much. He doesnt get home till next August and I wont see him till
then....I mean he studys at the Y but still....its super sad. Its
really hard to say goodbye to missionaries, members that live in the
area, and the people you taught.....its seriously super super hard. I
always just bawl like a baby during transfers....Its not cool....
Then
this week on Friday we had a Chirstmas Choir concert at the chapel.
Thats what I sent the pictures of. It was SUPER HOT and we had to be in
our suits....but the Spirit was so strong and so sweet there at the
concert. We showed the video "Ele É O Presente" and talked a little
about it then we read the scriptures in Lucas about the birth of the
Savior and we sang tons and tons of hymns. It was really really good.
The women of the ward were super happy that we helped out. It was a
pleasure to help them and we really had a lot of fun doing it. On Sunday
we also had a huge ward lunch at the Chapel. That was really good. On
Saturday me and my comp Elder Brown were pretty dang sick. Brown was
worse than I was. He like could hardly walk. We both came to the office
right after lunch to grab some stuff and we just like collapsed on the
floor and just laid there for a while....haha. But it was a really good
week. We were able to see the mission baptize lots of people. Its super
cool to see missionaries teach amazing people and see these people
recieve answers and have a desire to be baptized.
Then
we were able to take a few people to church on Sunday. That was really
good. I am sad and really excited at the same time. Mucuri will be
amazing. Its a tiny little group of about 25 active members....Lets see
how the next 7 weeks go!! I will talk to you guys on the skype next
week!! Crazy.
Anyway, I love you guys and hope you are all well!! Have a great week!!
Elder Hadley
