First off transfers, we got our transfers on Saturday and I got moved to Lima in the zone San Gabriel in the program Miguel Grau II. It is a new chapter of the good ol mission and I'm excited to work in this area. I was telling Kalin a little bit about what I thought about the area, I said Ayacucho is what I imagined Peru being like and San Gabriel is real life haha. San Gabriel is an area that doesn't have Sisters serving, but don't worry, the Lord watches over His missionaries. It is really dusty, hot, humid, and cold(or maybe that was my fever, I don't know yet haha) I got a little bit sick the day before transfers haha, of course when I wasn't feeling great I had to pack and travel haha. I've recovered though so I will be alright.
My companion is Elder Mountains of Goose. Nah that's just the English translation, Elder Montes de Oca sounds a lot better haha. I am a co companion for a district leader now, it's a bit different from being a co companion for any other plain ol missionary haha. He is from Guatemala and he seems like a great guy, I haven't had any problems with him so far.
Conference was absolutely insane! Russel M. Nelson truly has revelatory power! I thought the announcement in Priesthood Session was insane, then he came with more in the last session haha. I love how some big themes in this conference were personal revelation and serving others. I loved all the things that were said about serving other people by small means. Well, after this conference the Bishops are gonna have to keep busy huh haha. There was a lot of stuff for Bishops in this conference as well as a lot of work, I'm praying for you Dad that you can do all this work while applying the things said meant for Bishops in this conference! The solemn assembly was awesome, the 12 Apostles are truly chosen by the Lord. Speaking of which we finally have a Latino Apostle! It was awesome to hear the new guys' testimonies. I thought it was way funny when even the Prophet laughed when he announced the temple in Layton Utah, I thought it was funny too. There will be a temple in Salta Argentina too! Elder Gutierrez lived in that city and it was awesome to hear that!
That's all my time, I'll tell you more later, talk to you later!
