Alrighty then so first of all transfers were last week on
Wednesday and at about 5 oclock on Tuesday I got a call from the assistants
telling me that I needed to pack because I was going to be moved to the city of
Resistencia as a Zone Leader. So Wednesday morning I said goodbye to my comp
and our zone leaders and header out to Resistencia on a bus which is only about
a 45 minute trip from corrientes capital. Well I got the the terminal in
Resistencia and the craziness had already started. 27 new missionaries came to
the mission last Wednesday and our transfers are pretty crazy here. The zone
leaders get an email at about 8 oclock tuesday night and they call all of
their missionaries in their zone to tell them if they are being transferred or
not at about 9 oclock Tuesday night. Then all of the zone leaders go to the
terminal (Bus Station) in their province/area really early Wednesday
morning and they coordinate where all of the missionaries are going and with
who and where. And the terminal in resistencia is by far the busiest because
all of the news have to pass through there and it is right in the middle of the
mission so most of the other missionaries pass through there and have to take
another bus to another area. Anyway right when I got there I could tell it was
going to be pretty crazy and I am now the zone leader so i have to be the on
who knows whats going on and how to help everybody get on the right bus at the
right time. Anyway I got a hold of myself pretty quick and was able to help
everything work out okay. The only problem we had was two hermanas who missed
their bus because they were talking to somebody and not paying attention very
well.
Well my companion´s name is Elder Truman form Missouri (yeah
i know I didn't spell that right, that's what happens when you do everything in
Spanish for so long) and this will be his fifth transfer in this area. He has
about 18 months on the mission and he is kind of tire of this area. by the way
this means I will have over a year in the mission without ever having a
companion who is not from the united states. But he is a really good Elder and
he makes me laugh a lot. He is really goo at telling stories. We are working
hard to help our zone and I know that we are going to see a ton of success. We
have 4 brand new missionaries in this zone and five white washes. kind of
crazy.
But there are some really great things happening in this
area and we had two investigators at church on Sunday one of which will be
getting baptized this Saturday. The town is completely different from the city
I have been in for 6 months and there is dirt pretty much everywhere, but the
ward here is really big and that makes missionary wok a lot easier.
Well that is all I have time for this week, I am soo
grateful for the gospel in my life and I know that it is true
Love Elder Anderson (Joe)
