Staying in Bella Vista

We should be getting colder weather here actually ... within this next month. So that's gonna be awesome :) The only down side is that not as many people just chill outside their house drinking mate. When its hot, everyone's outside and its so easy to find people to talk to. 

This week was a little rough. Well first off I was sick with a cold, and it was just hard to find people. I just felt like we had walked every street and talked to every person. which was probably not true, but I was a little ready to change areas just to feel more effective working wise.

I'M STAYING IN BELLA VISTA! 

I was not expecting that at all, but I have a new companion...Hna Todd from Lehi.  She's super awesome, and I had done divisions with her before and I'm stoked. So all day yesterday we traveled to Resistencia to pick her up and then waited in the terminal a bunch. But I got to see a few hermanas that I knew in my training in Formosa.

 It was hard leaving Hna Balderee, but I'm sure she will do well with the change.  She is with Hna Howe my old comp.  We cried saying goodbye. it broke my heart, but I'll get to see her at multizona. 

So the news this week is that now I have 2 areas! They took the elders out of Bella Vista. So we have their area as well. That is crazy because it's a huge area to cover, but at least now we have some new places to discover and I'm glad for that.  Our investigator Julio came to church this Sunday! And he told us he's actually read half the BOM! 

ALFREDO :(

So on Sunday night I actually sent a text to Alfredo, telling him that Hna Balderree was leaving Bella Vista, and that we hope he´ll tell us when he's back in Bella Vista. Then on Monday morning there was a huge storm, and our power was out while we were packing up and leaving.. it was crazy. Then we got out of the taxi at the bus station with all the suitcases in the pouring rain.. and someone says "let me help you".. and I look over and its ALFREDO!!! I was so shocked. We chatted for a minute.  He said he will be done in July and can talk with us more then.  I know it was definitely not a coincidence we happened to be at the terminal at the same time.  I pray he will have the courage and confidence to make the change he knows is right sooner than later.  

Anyway, I'm excited for the new transfer! LOVE YOU so much I'm excited to hear your voice on mothers day!
