So I´ve been transferred. Gas, water, light, cleaning them, fixing the sink when a wrestling match takes it off the wall, weird noises, bad neighborhoods, etc. That is my new life. When I was out there - in the real world - I used to make jokes about the mandatory "stupid pills" that they must be taking in the office..... And now Elder Weiss has informed me that it´s actually the rest of the mission that takes the stupid pill. AND HE´s RIGHT! I got a call the other day and the missionary was like, "I need a new piso. This place is not fit for human habitation."
"What´s the issue?"
"It´s just, it´s terrible. The windows are dirty, it smells bad... I just... it´s not ok. I need a new one."
"Is it clean?"
"...."
"When was the last time you cleaned?"
"Uh...."
"Clean your piso Elder. Then we can talk."
The last time I went to bed on time.... I don´t even remember. It must have been before transfers. I am having a great time, in part because I´m replacing Elder Larsen - that guy is a MACHINE. He just works and works and works and then finds better ways to work.
I also feel really, really good about my new companionship. In left to right on the picture I sent, it´s Elder Weiss, Elder Regehr, Elder Dugan, and then me. Weird assignement, new job, GREAT companions, fish-out-of-water feeling. Ever since I was trained, I´ve been in some sort of leadership position - leading the area, Senior comp, trainer, district leader, zone leader.... But now? I feel like a greenie all over again. It´s excellent. I am excited. Life is good. And there´s no need to publish that list of my leadership positions - it was just there to add backstory.
