So the transfers came out last night. Honestly anything could have happened since my training has ended. I could have left or Elder Adhans but they said that.....We are both staying together for one more transfer! This has already given me the answer for what is going to happen the next transfer and because Elder Adhans will have been here for 6 months after this transfer so i think that he will leave next and ill be here for this transfer and the next.
So this week.
Monday
It was a wonderful p day
Tuesday
I didnt write anything special which means that it was a normal day
Wednesday
It was a very full day but some of our appointments fell through which was a little bit sad.
Thursday
Another good work day
I'm sure by now your thinking wow it was a standard week. Well it was until Friday night
Friday
So first when we were walking to an appointment a young man started talking to me and we continued chatting and made a return appointment. His name is Rogerio and is 18. He came to church with us and read the pamphlet we left with him. He is a prepared individual and so im excited.
Then Friday night at about 630-7ish we were walking and there was a massive blackout. We have had black outs before but it was usually during the day. This time the whole barrio went dark. There was 0 power for anyone and honestly it was peaceful. The little key chain light that you gave me for Christmas came very much in handy throughout the night as I was looking for my mini mag light. We continued on out and then it started raining. I don't think I've seen it rain so crazily here before. It was nuts and i got soaked. We finished our appointments and started home and the lake that I was expecting in the road on the way to our house was there and bigger than ever. It had gotten to the point where the water was on the sides of the sidewalk that we had to use to reach the side street and the rain and wind had knocked a metal sign into the middle of the road and so cars couldn't pass. It was crazy. When we got home, both of us were soaked and we had to try and function without power for another 2ish hours. Luckily we had candles that we used for light and i made some of the hot chocolate that you sent me. It was very much appreciated.
Saturday
Standard work day
Sunday
We had testimony meeting and all of the people that I had helped baptize minus one was at church, and Cliver and Suzete even bore their testimonies. When Cliver bore his, it was the most gratifying moments of my mission, seeing him up there in front of everyone. It was amazing. We stopped by a sister in the ward to take pictures because we weren't sure if me or Elder Adhans were leaving and didn't know if we would have time today, and also talked with some people in the street which was good.
It was amazing week and a good transfer. Please continue to pray for me and my investigators. I really do love you all and hope that everything is well with you,
Love
Eric
