Qué ONDA FAMILIA!!!!!
some POI´s that changed everything:
What happened yesterday......:
we were in divisions and I get a call from the AP, Elder Jorgensen, who was my first ZL when I got here, just a stud, who is finishing next Monday (and hey, I'm gonna try and give him a package to take home for me, no promises, but if it happens, you should get it next week. His fam is coming to pick him up, and I am gonna try and send stuff).
Anyways, I call him back after we finish our lesson, and he says, "Hey Elder Connolly, I got your transfers and you are going to airport 2............." hey—I gotta call you back, peace." Soooo at this point, I knew I was leaving, but still had no idea where and just knew I was by the airport, which means Merida. but that's it.
Then I get a call from my ZL about 45 minutes later, he tells me "hey elder Connolly, I have your transfers, you wanna know?" I was soo confused why everyone was wanting to tell me 3 days in advance-- ha. But yeah, I asked, "well yeah, digame. and who is my comp?" "well, one of the secretarys" "oh cool, so he's gonna leave the offices?" "no elder connolly, you are the new secretary." "WHAT???"
Yep, crazzyyyyy, I never expected it. I'm the new mission secretary of materials. I got the call at like 5pm last night, and was moved out by 8:30pm and moved into the oficina by 9pm. It has been a crazy past 12 hours. I've been going crazy, it was a restless night, I finally found some ZZZ`s at around 1:30 am, woke up at 4:30 am and couldn't fall back asleep. I'm wayy nervous, but I'm also way excited for this opportunity. I feel wayyyy under qualified ha, but its gonna be fun. I'll be with 3 other Mexicans here in the offices, I'll still have my own house in area about 20 minutes from the offices where I'll sleep and proselite, but I'll be here in the offices everyday. It's pretty chill—I am writing this from my own computer! ¡qué fresa! haha. I'm just gonna say it now-----I'm gonna gain 10 more kilos while I'm in the offices haha---the LEGEND IS TRUE: they order pizza NIGHTLY!!! literally... but it's ok, I'll have time to burn it off when I'm released ;)
So with this, I have a new comp, obviously~ His name is elder Suarez and he is the secretary of records. And also I have my new Papa, the old secretary of materials~ elder Vinay, who I'm taking his place, to train me for the next week, guiding me and showing me what to do. Then I am off on my own. So we´re gonna walk in 3 for about a week until he gets sent away to his new area. There are 2 other secretarys: financial - elder Amador (translated as: elder Lover, haha awesome huh?), and executive secretary- elder Castañeda.
Well, updates on my OLD area BRISAS: .Mary got baptized at 10am this morning`I am gonna call elder Dominguez and see how it went. Ulysis is doin' great, Ii was gonna baptize him tomorrow, before Monday when I was supposedly supposed to leave... its a bummer~but it's ok though. And Raul is getting baptized next Saturday, and we have 2 baptisms the week after, Mary, the granddaughter of Mary that got baptized today, and ANOTHER Maria ha. I will be checking on them the next few weeks to see if they see the baptismal font as scheduled.
welllll, 1 SUPPPA bonus (of the many) of being in the offices, I get to read my mail BEFORE I write home Mom, I got the singing card with you and dad singing ^Merry christmas from our house to your house^, that was sent 21 of December... haha 1 month and a half! And it said FIRST CLASS stamped on it ha. And I also got some dearelders! SOOO coollll, TODD is probably baptizing ABE right now as I am speaking! soo awesome! Todd, thanks for your letter bro, 4.0 and the basketball star! who won ¨freak east` yesterday? Go eat a BETO´s BREAKFAST BURRITO FOR ME!!! Love you brotha.
Well I am over and out. I didn't have time for a voice recording, it has been non stop running around since 5pm yesterday. Next week I'll have some more info on my new area and job. But yeah, enjoy the photos, I love you all. and mom and dad, enjoy the other side of MEXICO on your cruise next week! love you ALLLLLLLLL
