Called to Serve: Transfer 2 Week 6 ~ BIG NEWS

So just randomly on Tuesday we get a call, "hey Elder Piñeres we got you a flight for Thursday" so we were like ok dang, short notice, so let's get to it. We got him pretty much all ready to leave to go back to Colombia in two days. He decided to wait until the night before to start packing though, he didn't get much sleep let's just say that.

Also, probably the highlight of my entire mission so far, we were driving down a street and I saw a really really really cool car so I said, "turn around right now we're gonna go look at that car.” So we did go and look. And as we were looking and took a quick few pictures, some guy walks out of a golf store and says hey the owner of the car is taking lessons inside and said you can get in and take pictures real quick if you'd like. I dang near passed out. So I did. It was super cool. So yeah it's a 1967 Mustang Shelby GT500 Eleanor.

So since we shipped off Elder Piñeres, Elder Gray and I have had to do all the teaching, contacting, calling, and talking to members at church in Spanish all by ourselves. Yes we were really quite nervous to do it, and we thought we would totally mess up all the time. Well we have actually been doing quite a good job. We’ve taught entire lessons all by ourselves, we both bore our testimonies in Spanish to the Spanish ward, we also made them laugh, hopefully cause they think we are funny and not because we speak funny.

Ok so just saw the transfer board, and I'm leaving my dear first area and my dear Elder Gray. We're staying in the same district which is fun and my new companion Elder Blackwell is so hilarious; he's from Mississippi and is just so cool. So we will have a lot of fun together. Everyone please pray for me and my companion.

Elder Solórzano is going home. He finished his two years here in the mission and is one of funniest Elders and best teachers there is. So sad to see him go. When an Elder goes home, we have a funeral for them, so we had a funeral for him at our last District Counsel. I have some hilarious memories of him. He's from El Salvador and has the best accent. I just love listening to him talk.

Well I gotta wrap this up. But here's a real quick scripture for you guys John 14:27, "27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

I like this scripture because we can always rely on our Savior for peace, for comfort, and for support.
