So this week I had transfers, which was expected, but what wasn't expected was that they CLOSED MY FRIGGIN' SECTOR!!!!!!! That means that my companion and I were both sent out and that another companionship is taking it in addition to their own. When the district leaders called to tells us about transfers we literally thought they we just joking (they joke sometimes). It got to the point where we told them, "When you want to tell us the real transfers call us!!!" and then we called the zone leaders to see if they were telling the truth and THEY WERE.
I was basically like that clichè guy in a movie that falls on their knees and yells, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's super sad because we had a LOT of people progressing that loved us both a lot and now a random pair of elders that don't know them are going in and are going to put less focus on them than we did because they have another sector to worry about. Literally EVERYBODY was surprised because our sector was doing, frankly, the best new elders' sector doesn't have much going on, so they're focusing mostly on our sector.
My new comp is Elder Bellido! He's an Argentine. He has been in the mission for roughly 4 more months than me and we actually lived together about 4 months ago. We're pretty excited. And, we're District Leaders, so that's neat. If someone were to ask me if I feel more 'leadery' I would have to say I don't really.
So now I'm in Lo Blanco (The White) ward. In this ward we use bikes, which is the cat's meow! We have a really big sector but we get around SO fast!!! The bad thing is that mah butt hurts... a lot..... They say it goes away after a week or so. It's a functioning ward too, like an average of 80 every week! I met a bunch of people yesterday and they seemed to like me quite a bit, which is always awesome 'cause if they don't things are just more difficult.
It's also a bit sketchier and a bit less sketchy here. We don't really chill in any spots because we always zip along on our bikes but it's a bit more ghetto here and everybody wants a bike! Also, biking in Chilean streets is scary!!!
I have no pictures but they'll come!
Have a great week, love you all!
