The impossible happened this week, I was saying goodbye to my companion Elder Azevedo, and then 8:00pm at night I get a call saying I would be transferred tomorrow at 7:00am! I didn't have time to tell anyone I would be leaving... Leaving Juazeiro broke my heart. After 8 months, I had to leave my best friends in the world. I was just devastated and more that I couldn't even say goodbye to ANYONE.....
I lost my P-day that's why I didn't email last week. I spent it on that 10 hour bus ride as now I will be serving here in a ghetto city of Fortaleza. My new companion is Elder Crispim. He is also a native Brasilian, the only member in his family. He is 19 and from Santa Catarina. He has been out 6 months on his mission and all 6 months have been in the same area he is now. I'm now here in Mondubim with him. I'm the District leader now. I have an area that is super small which is only like a couple streets, very different from Juazeiro. I am serving in a favela (which is a ghetto) so no more pictures as it's no longer safe for me to carry my camera around. Two sisters in my district were already assaulted this week!
I miss and long for Juazeiro. I love the people there and they are all I can think about. It's been so hard to accept the fact that I'm not there anymore.....
I love you all and thank you for all your love and support!
