Hello Everyone!!
Well,
I made it to my new area safe and sound, but with quite an adventure.
There is so much to tell, but I will try to make it simple and that you
can understand... So when your District or Zone Leader calls Sunday to
tell us about transfers he only tells us if you will be transfered and
if you will be staying in Sergipe or Maceio. My LZ told me that I was
getting transfered to Maceio and I had to be at the church at 5AM, so I
got up at 3:30 that morning to get ready, shower, get all of my stuff
down the the taxi and such. We got there, but the person with the list
of people who should be on the bus said my name wasn´t on it, so I
talked with my LZ who called the secretaries in Maceio and said it was
fine and so I made the 6 hour ride to Maceio. Once I got there I was so
excited to find out where I would be serving and one of the secretaries
came up to me, looked at the list of areas and companionships and then
looked at me and said, ´Sister Chilson, uhh, there was a problem... a
little mix up´ and he started walking away and I was like Élder! Where
is my area? He told me that I was be staying in Sergipe, serving in
Itabiana with Sister Lopez- significa that I needed to make the 6 hour
bus ride back to Sergipe. So that´s why my name wasn´t on the list...
Sadly, I walked back onto the bus and made it back to where I started at
5AM. I am serving not in the capital though so it is another hour bus
ride to my area and it was late, so I ended up sleeping the the exact
same apartment that was slept in for the past 4 monthes... Literally all
I did was take a 12 bus ride... The following day though I headed to
Itabiana and met my companion- Sister Lopez! She is an American! We are
already planning our 4th of July party :) She just has one more transfer
than me in the mission. She is so awesome and I am so excited for this
transfer! This transfer is 7 weeks so by the time it ends we will be in
August- crazy!
We did not work much this week because where I am there are
always partys in the street and it is not safe to work. Some fun facts
about my area though- it is a branch not a ward and we don´t have a
chapel- we meet in a house! How cool is that! I will send pictures next
week, I promise. There are woodent benches and it felt like I was in
Little House on the Praire because of the wooden benches in a house. I
love it though and am so excited to work here!
