Well, this week has a bit of excitement.
First
up, Transfers. It is confirmed: I'm currently in English work. However,
I'm not down in Florence; instead, I'm still within the boundaries of
my last area. My new companion is Elder Cope.
He and
I left from the MTC together. We cover two wards. In my last area,
there was a former investigater in oure area book that was being taught
by the English Elders in that area. One of the wards we have contains
her. The other ward covers an area named "Little Mexico". I still
suspect that I'm supposed to be making preparations for a new Spanish
area though. President Nattress called me last Monday night and said
that he was putting me in English for a transfer, and that he needed me
to demonstrate my leadership skills. Also that there was a 99.9% chance
that I will back in Spanish next transfer. He also suggested that I
study the training manual because I will likely be training soon as
well. I'll see what I can do.
----------------------------------------
Remember
that spanish phrase calandar you gave me for Christmas last year? It's
been rather interesting. Most of the phrases are quite random, but
somtimes it almost seems like it knows what's going on at times. Let me
give you a couple examples: A little while back, I was giving myself a
haircut (I bought clippers). however, when I started cutting, I
accidently forgot the guard, resulting in a patch of very short hair. I
was distraught over this. I did what I could to hide it (i.e. cutting
the rest of my hair shorter than I had initially wanted), however, the
damage had been done. Well, the next morning, I'm sitting at my desk,
still completely distraught over the event. I then realized that I
hadn't turned the page on the calandar. So, I did, and this was the
phrase: "El tiempo restaura las heridas." ("Time heals all wounds.")
Quite fitting, don't you think? I laughed at the accuracy of the words
and felt better after that. The other example I have for you is a little
more comical. One night we had gotten home supper late. I don't
remember why, but we did. We were both exhausted from the days events,
and we decided to plan in the morning. Well, the next day I turn the
page on the calandar, and the phrase reads: "No he hecho planes." (I
have not made plans.") haha. Things like these seem to happen a lot.
----------------------------------------
That's all for this week. I hope everyone is doing well.
by the way, I love you, too, Mom. (hug)
(I love everyone else as well.)
Con amor,
-Elder Jordon Hill-
