Adventure!

This week I got transferred to a different area. It was hard saying bye to all the members I came to know really well, and not knowing where I would be going. At the same time I never felt sad. A lot of the members were kind of confused when I told them I was getting transfered and I was happy about it. I was ready to move on and experience the missionary work and a different location. So the way the transfers work is I received an email saying I was going to be transfered, but I didn´t know where to. I spent the P-Day packing and then on the next morning as I was finishing packing all of my things I grapped a bag which had my shaving razor in it. When I grabbed the bag, the blade of the razor cut through the bag and cut my left finger open. At this moment we had to go in order to make it the bus station on time. I rinsed it with water and quickly wrapped it with knapkins and baind-aids to keep myself from dripping blood everywhere. We traveled  to a big bus station near porto alegre and there I met my new zone leader and he showed me where I would be going. I found out that I would be going to the zone Passo Fundo and be working in an area called Erechim. We waited at the bus station until 12:30pm when our bus arrived to take us to Passo Fundo. Most of the trip there we were climbing up hills because Passo Fundo is about 3,000 feet above Porto Alegre. We arrived at the bus station in Passo Fundo at about 5:00pm. At around 5:30pm my new companion showed up there. His name is Elder Niver. After talking a bit we grabbed another bus to take us to Erechim. At this point, riding on another bus was making me feel like I was going to throw up, because the bus drivers here are crazy. After arriving in our area and then grabbing a taxi, we got to our apartment at about 9:00pm. That same night we went to a hospital where I got my finger checked out and it actually wasn´t too bad, there was just a lot of blood. Better safe than sorry. We live on the 8th floor in pretty nice sized apartment room. It even has couches. I only live with my companion here.  My new area Erechim is the area farthest away from Mission office in Porto Alegre. It´s great to be on the outskirts of the mission. It´s really hard to find people in Erechim who want to listen to our message, and it´s really hard to baptize here. But I believe in miracles. I really like the area especially because it´s ginormous. Our area is also full of hills and looks beautiful. It takes about 4 hours to walk from one end of our area to the other. The mission is awesome and has the best work anyone could ever be apart of.
