Hello!

Hope you have fun at Hawaii. I plan on going with you guys when I get back haha. 

Transfers were hectic. On Tuesday, we had a transfer meeting where everyone that would move comes and gets their comps and leaves. The only problem is that the bus from sergipe (4 hour drive) took 6 hours to get here, so they got here two hours late. It wouldn't be a problem, but the new missionaries were to arrive at 12 30. So we started at 10:30 the transfer meeting and had to sprint to the airport. We ended up taking a taxi to get there. It was crazy, but we go there right when the door to the baggage claim opened and the missionaries started coming out. 12 got here, and next transfer 12 more will get here. Anyway, we got to the mission presidents house and ate. After was the hard part, elder douglas and I had to get in a van and drop everyone off at their houses. There were 7 sets of missionaries and were started t 5 30 at night. We got back to the mission office at 10 and got home at 10:30 haha. It was absolutely hectic, but just for us. All of the others didn't even notice, which is the idea. 

Then we had a meeting the next day and the trainers going to sergipe needed to take a bus at 12 30. They got there late and ended up having to wait until 6 to get to their areas. What a good 2nd day experience for the greenies. ha 

The next day we had a zone meeting, and a training for the trainers on their 2nd transfer at 3 and 5 o'clock. Basically we didn't have much time to do anything. Everything went well. 

 I don't know who the Oddells are. Are they in our ward?

I have a friend in santa maria, elder fulton is his name. He will see their missionary for sure.

That is awesome that they are already getting home from the mish! when Dan gets home tell him that he has to email me! Nate too. I haven't heard from them in so long!

Other than that this week was fun. Today we just rested because the week was a bit busy. We play some games of WAR (risk) which we are addicted to right now. 

My trainer elder maciel got home from his mission 2 months ago or so and he is already engaged. That is fast, but the funnier part is who he is getting married to. It is a sister missionary that went home the same day as him! They are planning on getting married in 6 months hahaha. I couldn't believe it when I heard it! Everyone is joking about him, but I am super happy for him because he was worried about getting married. He is 27 years old already about to turn 28 so he had to marry quickly.

Anyway love you all! and hope your week is a little less busy than mine was!
