Wow Everyone!

So this was definitely a crazy week. Everything was on track till Monday. The Brother who was going to be baptized on Saturday was not able to this week but is still working hard to get there. My companion and I were sitting in our apartment planning for Friday and I got a call from the AP´s telling me that I'm out of Caseros one week before the end of the transfer! I asked if I did something wrong and they said no and said that Caseros is finally having success which it had not had for years and thanked Elder Foster and Me for our work!

But now I'm sitting in a Internet shop in a brand new area with a brand new companion. Apparently something happened somewhere in the mission and there was a "flash" where missionaries are transfered around before the end of the transfer, and I was switched around. Very unexpected for me but hey, thats how it goes!

Last Sunday we had 3 investigators at sacrament meeting which had not happened for a Long time all three are incredible! (Domenico (66) Ana Read (30) and Emma Torino (70)) All three are building testimonies and are great people and then just like that I'm out! Well seeds were definitely planted in Caseros so that's good, too bad I wasn't able to see Domenico´s baptism but we shared a tear or two before I left and I wrote in his Book of Mormon a bit. Incredible man he is.

Anyways so I just arrived in my new area today called Villa Celina in the Aldo Bonzi Stake. My area borders the BA North and BA South misions, and from what I've been told it's the exact opposite of Caseros. Caseros is the richest area in the mission and Villa Celina is one of the poorest. Villa celina is a Little Bolivia (everyone is Bolivian) and was closed earlier this year and then re-opened for safety reasons.. I'm stoked!!

My new Companion se llama Elder Bracken from guess where..... Utah-SLC. He's a pretty cool kid and I'm excited to get to work! 3 companions in 3 transfers. We live in a four man apartment the tenth floor next to a huge freeway. I'll send you pictures as soon as I get my other memory card back. Do you have my package address Dad?!

Well I'll keep you updated... Love you all, and don't forget to read the scrips while you're having all that fun...
