I got transferred. Gonna have a brasillian comp. I'm looking forward to it. Gonna be just me and him in that place. And apparently he's from Ceara which is awesome. My second comp was from there and he was hilarious. My LD says my new comp is practically the same. So, this should be a interesting transfer. I'm sad to have to leave this area and a bunch of the people that I have met and grown to love. But, it's for the best and the Lord needs me in my next area. The lame thing is that food is going to be more expensive and same thing with buses. And it's a bit hotter. But oh well. Should be good.

Things are going good. Not really a lot of new people to teach. But, our recent converts are progressing nicely. Maria received the holy ghost yesterday at sacrament meeting. And she had a good experience. The main thing about this week was the fact that we were able to help a past recent convert that my last comp and I baptized. She doesn't have a testimony. And it was mostly because of the way things were rushed. But now she's working on it. And we're prayin for her a lot and the Ward is going to help out a bunch too. This ward is changing and getting better. So it's a good thing. But this week we should be doin a decent amount of stuff. So should be good. Been eating a lot of pancakes since I got Emily's recipe. I made a decent sized batch of Syrup and put it in a glass bottle. So been eatin decently. It's a nice taste of home. Even though the brown sugar here isn't refined and has an odd taste. But then again everyone tells me that al the best stuff gets imported to the States and all the bad stuff stays here and is sold to the people. Now that I think about it I probably ought to get some more recipes.....like cookies......Jubilee jumbles with burnt butter frosting....?
