He forgot to mention in the group email
that his new town is called Enace (sp?) and it's in Piura. He is also the
District Leader. He's a little stressed about it..... his exact words were
"I am trying not to get stressed about it but I have approximately no idea
what I am doing so feel free to pray for me." So...... feel free to pray
for him. -Dayna
Friends and Fam,
Hi. So let's just get right down to the
nitty gritty: I got transferred. Turns out transfers are the WORST. I had to
say goodbye to Cerro Mocho this week and
it was really hard. I'm going to miss that town. I realized that Cerro Mocho is basically
Mayberry from the Andy Griffith Show. There is no crime. Everyone knows
everyone. The only difference is that instead of moonshine everyone is drinking
Chicha or beer and they are all Peruvian. I would like to think that I was
"Andy", but I am 100% sure I was "Barney". Aww, Cerro
Mocho, you will be missed!
My new area however is KILLING IT. The
ward has 300 members! It's no Cerro
Mocho 25, but 300!!!! Quite the accomplishment!
I am so excited to work with all the members! Also church isn't in my house!
Blessings! My new companions name is
Elder Jaramillo from Lima. He is actually from my group, but was in the
Argentina CCM (don't ask me why because I didn't understand. Haha). Anyway, our room is SO dirty and disgusting,
but it has running water so I say welcome to the blessings! I'm just going to channel my inner Dayna J
and clean the place up (you would be happy to know mom that I make my bed every
morning and every companion I have had has told me I am the cleanest and the
most organized. Looks like all those
years of passive aggressively asking me to clean my room paid off!)
All in all this past week was a blur of
tears and toothless smiles. Cerro Mocho
will forever be in my heart, but I am now five minutes instead of 45 minutes
away from the missionaries in my district and I can't wait to experience
Piura! Anyway, thanks for all your love
and support and I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
Elder Meier
