I can say that this week was the most sterotypical week of my mission. This isn't a bad thing, actually its super funny and I'm glad for all that happened because it was super sterotypical. So it started off with being sick on sunday as I wrote last week and during the week we worked a lot knocking doors and marking appointments and as we went to visit them they weren't home or didn't have time or weren't interested even after marking an appointment with us. So we had the sterotypical door closing in our faces experiences this week. I also passed the actual day of 1 year on the 15th of Nov. So benchmark... On Friday we went to visit a member who had recently moved and we had marked with them to eat cuzcuz that night, when we got there the mother of the member went to hold the dog to not bother us as we passed by but she lost hold and the dog bit my leg. It was funny because my companion freaked out a little half-screaming and throwing the member in front of him to protect himself from harm. It didn't hurt too much the teeth that met with the level of my sock didn't penetrate but one good looking tooth hole was left in my leg because it was above the sock and only had the pant leg protecting it. (Photo attatched) So funnily enough to add to the sterotypical missionary life, I was bitten by a dog. SO the week was pretty wild... We also took a different route this week going to an appointment after lunch going along the train tracks so we took some cool pictures (as attatched).
Tomorrow is the transfer, and suprisingly I will be transfered! Everyone thought that my companion would be the one to leave because he has more time int he area but president moved me instead and my companion will stay and train a new missionary. So I will be transfered to Petrolina, which as I'm told (and I've experienced), is one of the hottest cities in the mission and not in a good way. It gets up to, as I try to change from C to F, 90F-110F which is really hot considering the slightly increased humidity and we are arriving into summer here so it will really get hot. I'm 99% sure that I'll burn, I bought sunscreen but even if I don't burn it will be real dang hot. Also with this change I will be Senior companion and district leader. Also my zone leader will be the trainer that I had Elder B Costa. I'm excited, maybe nervous, but I'm sure everything will turn out great, I will just have to work hard with diligance. I will travel there today, early, because by compánion has to leave for Salvador to pick up his new missionary.
Well thats all I have time for,
Love you!
