I don`t even know where to start with this week. It has been a whirlwind. Even my journal is confused. Let`s take it back to last Monday. Me and my beloved companion and I where writting our letters to our friends and loved ones when the assisntes to the mission president called. So when the assisntes call it`s not just a hey hope things are well. It`s either your in trouble, someone in your family died, or maybe just maybe a piece of good news. So Elder Ostlund (americano) called and we always use our cellphone on speaker phone. Well he was speaking in english and was like hey how are ya? All happy and cheery. I was like ummm what? In my mind I was like what what happen, who died? He was like well you and Sister Oliveira have been transfered. My companion was like what no. She was screaming. He repeated himself. She yelled at him to speak in Port but at this point he was already speaking in Port. It was so funny. After I put my hand over her mouth, I was able to hear him. We shut Ouro Fino and Elders opened it. And we were sent to Imirim which is in the capital. It was an emergency trasnfer because so many missionaries don`t have VISAS so when they get VISAS they send them out. So we were like wait are we staying together he was like yes. We almost starting crying. Her and I cannot part. We are best buds. So we left one day after. It was crazy to say goodbye to everyone. I had six months in this area, lots of close nit friendships. But that`s the mission baby. I gotta go where the Lord wants me to go. It was hard to say goodbye to Leni she cried and was like no you can`t leave. That was hard. So we got to Imirim. President dropped us off with Sister Martins. They even bought us Mcdonals. It was so wierd to enter into the capital. It is literally like going from Virgina to New York. This will be my first time to work in the capital. My companion has already worked here but I was way excited. So we got to the house. The area had been closed for about five months and it was a hot mess. Even Sister Martins was like ummm she tried to be postive but... We were like ummm. So President was like good luck and I`ll see you later. Well we got to work to start to clean and orangize. But the house is just bad news. We called President that night becasue there was problems also with the neighbors and he came and got us. It was almost midnight. I love this man. And where did we stay? At there mansion in the sky. But what is going to happen with us?
Part two. President as he was driving us to his house said that he was going to close the area and put us somewhere else. He didn`t know yet but somewhere else. So we stayed the night with them. We have know called it the Hotel Martins. There house is amazing. The next day we ate a wonderful breakfast with them and returned to the office. He decided where to put us. Smack dab in the middle of it all. Where are now in Morumbi. We are sharing the area with the Assinstines and the area is amazing. Our chapel is right next to the Temple. And there are always area 70 sighting and shopping to the nines and how nice is it to see the Temple everyday. Our house is amazing. I`m in the heart of São Paulo working for the Lord with this legit atmosphere buzzing around me. It will be different. Everyone here works and lives in these amazing apartments and condos but we are ready. Stay tuned for our journeys here in the urban jungle.
