I´ll be working in the office. My new responsabilities are pisos, rent, cars, utilities, and everything in between. I´ll also serve as translator for Elder Young, a senior missionary who doesn´t speak a lick of Spanish. So if anyone breaks a window - that´s me. If anyone has a cold shower - I´ll be there. If you have a three-mile-an-hour sideswipe crash and total the car - Who ya gonna call? Me. I am going to get fat and white, sitting in front of a computer until7pm for the next six months. I´m not super sure how I feel about the assignment, but it´s what the Lord wants me to do. My P-day today was initiation - I´ll be replacing Elder Larsen, (from the canaries) who is NOT an 18-year old missionary and thus expects a lot more. My brain´s a little fried, so if this is all incoherent, let me know. I was also up until 2:30 last night packing, because I was in denail and didn´t even start until 11:00. Pretty good, right? Pack up your entire life in less than 4 hours. And, Elder Weiss came to pick me up in our sweet ride (cause now we have a car).
Elder Avila and I finished the week out well. He was, well, himself up until the last moment. This is going to be a very different dynamic than it was in Alcalá. I´m sad to go, but to be honest.... I figured I was leaving ever since the transfer started. It was hard to say goodbye to everyone- but it was nice to be able to say with surety, "I´ll be back in July." That ward treated me so well - I think we ought to go to church there if we can.
I just re-read the email, and I seem a little negative about the new post - it´s not like that. I´m excited for the chance to learn a completely new skillset, with some of my good friends from the mission. I´ll also get to hang out with President, which is always fun. God seems to know exactly what we need, even if we´re too silly to realize it. He has a plan.
Me.
