Hey friends! 36 hours: 2 airport trips, 33 Ubers, 6 vans, 14 pizzas, 12 liters of soda, 22 Americans, 8 trainings, and no sleep. That’s transfer and novinhos day for ya. If we were to do whole stats for the whole week it would be another 10 Ubers, 6 more pizzas, 6 more trainings, and a little sleep.

Hey friends! I am gonna be so for real, I have been staring at this screen for an hour with zero clue what to write so bare with me. The original title was “Calm Before the Storm” but the storm hit early. My brain has about a million thoughts in it because of transfers but, it’s okay because it is my favorite week of the month. This week was good, lot’s of organization and prep work but it was super fun. I am now a pro at furnishing houses, I know how to pay utility bills in Brazil, I learned a whole new system. Oh but transfer news! My comp and I will stay together once again. BUT, we are going to train a new missionary who will also be a secretary! It will be good, we are excited. Our ward is also gonna have 9, yes nine, missionaries now.

Hey friends! Well, it was transfer week, send people home week, get new missionaries week, random problems week, just as predicted. Transfer news isn’t anything crazy now that I know I will spend most of my mission in the office. I did get a new comp though, Elder Corales! He is super dope and from Peru so I am making him teach me Spanish. I moved over to his area which was next-door to my old one, still the same ward. My old comp, Elder Allen, went to Guarulhos because he will be the financial secretary in the new mission. With transfers our p-day moved back to Monday… not really the biggest fan but we will survive. Anyways this week was wild, the things just did not end.

Hey friends! Yours truly is headed to… drum roll please…  the office!! What secretary? I don't know. I do know that my comp is the best person in the whole wide world Elder Allen. I am so so hyped. When I found out I yelled so loud. On top of that there is a chance I learn Spanish now! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Hey friends! Welcome back! I know you missed me! This was a very eventful week full of surprises. Transfers, a visit from the AP (whoopsies), speaking in church, and, most importantly, baptism. 

First off, to get it out of the way, transfer news! I will be staying in Vista Verde but in a different district which makes me a little sad. The sisters were so fun. I will also be training a new missionary!! I get a son (mission nickname for a missionary you train)! It’s gonna be a fun transfer.

Hey friends! Okay it's not that in the middle of nowhere; I'm out here quite a ways but it's not like I'm walking 20 miles to the nearest supermarket (although one day I might tell my kids that was the case). It's been (almost) one week serving the Lord out here in Vista Verde, São José dos Campos - SP so let's chat about my initial thoughts

Hey friends! It's transfer week! You know what that means… I got transfer news last night! I'm going to Vista Verde in São José. I'm sure all of you know exactly where that is, it's okay I don't either. All I know is that it's apparently in the middle of nowhere. I'm both excited and not, not really a fan of change but oh well.

Hey friends! This was a fan-freaking-tastic week. Lots of laughs, lots of smiles. Success in the work and on to another transfer! 

Transfer news: I am staying in Continental 2, Guarulhos (thank goodness) and I got a new comp (obviously since mine is going home) and I lowkey don't know his name, just that he is Colombian, so I'll keep you updated on that. I got a new ZL too and he's gonna be lit (I hope).
