Transfers!!!

Hey guys!!

All is going well and I'm just livin the life as a missionary.  It's starting to get hotter out and that sucks, but what do you expect while on the equator?  Before the mission I never really thought about what a 3rd world country actually is, but now I truely know.  It's all good though, I'm used to it now.  We had tranfers today and I had a baptism on Saturday. 

The baptism went really good.  It was really special.  The lady we baptized was super happy.  I didn't mess up at all when I baptized her and I said part of her name in a hard English accent which sucked but that's okay haha.  I'll send some pics of the baptism.  I'm so white... it sucks cause everyone always stares at me.  Actually, no I don't care.

I went on splits again this last week and I lead in my sector.  It went really good and I didn't get lost once.  I looked like I knew what I was doing even though I didn't know any Spanish.  It is getting a lot better though, but it still sucks. But all is well.  The language is super cool and I love it, but it's such a grind to learn a knew language and it's really rough. I have a headache all the time pretty much. 

So we had transfers today.  It was really sad to say goodbye to my comp and the other guys that we lived with.  We all got along really well and we were such close friends.  I loved it.  So my comp got a call last night at 10:00 which sucks cause you are pretty much packing all night and don't get any sleep.  But it was good.  Anyway, he got a call and we all thought I was going to stay cause usually all new guys stay in their first sector the first transfer, but they said my comp was leaving and me also.  So now I'm in Manta.  It's so pretty here.  My house has this balcony that over looks the ocean and it's so so pretty.  I didn't get a picture, so I'll send that next week.  The only pic I got was with my comp in the computer place before we started typing, so that's all I got for you from Manta.   Sorry haha.  Anyway, I was so stressed, but everything turned out all good.  My new comps name is Elder Astete.  He's pretty cool! He doesn't know a ton of English, but who needs English anyway, am I right?  Anyway, it's so hot here and that sucks cause I sweat a lot. But, I like it here alright so hopefully I continue to.

Anyway, love you guys so much!!  Hope all is going well and you guys are having a good week.  If you guys have a good week, then I'll have a good week.  So you guys better have a good week. 

Alright, bye!!
