O.K. So this change was a really weird one. To tell you the truth we get the call in the morning and then the zone leaders say, Elder Gillies and Elder Montano you are going to a different sector. So I got all my bags packed and all that stuff and said good bye to everyone. Then we left for Vina to the mission home. So Elder Montano got transferred to Quipay. Then they called my name and said I was am going back to Mira Flores, but they closed my sector. So I had taken all my stuff to Vina and got all packed up just to bring it all back to Mira Flores, like a block away from my old apartment. I don't know why that happened, but the Lord has a sense of humor, I guess. That night of transfers, it was December 31.So that was about the worst day for changes. On the way back to my area, we were on a bus with two huge suitcases with everyone going so they can see the fireworks.
My new companion is Elder Fotheringham. He is from Utah. He has the same time left as Elder Montano. He leaves in two transfers. It's different. He is a pretty quiet kid and it is an adjustment. With all my other companions but one, we have always talked. I guess it's not too bad because I can talk more in the lessons now, so that is better. So I can kinda get that.
Today I had to get all the stuff for the visa worked out, so basically I didn't have a p-day. i just barely got done with that. It was a nightmare, and I have to do it again another time in about a year. But next time, hopefully it will be better.
This week was hard. We are working in both sectors, combining them as one. It's hard because I don't know Elder Fotheringham's sector and he doesn't know mine. Then I came in to this apartment. It was so dirty! I had to clean dishes with mold on them! We will have a thing with the president in the apartment this mouth. So now it's just trying to get everything cleaned up. Sorry this email is super short, but I don't have much time today with having to do all the visa stuff.
Oh yeah, I didn't know Wade Eyre came home from his mission this month. Tell Wade and Jessica to send me a wedding announcement! So that means Nathan Jaggi will be coming home soon too. Branson Bradshaw must have less then six months left of his mission. That came really fast it seems like to me, but that may just be me. Things will be better once the thing is done with the President and if we could get someone to commit to baptism, that would be nice. Other then that, I will try to do better next week and send you some pictures and all that stuff. Thanks for all that you do. I hope you have a good week.
Love
Elder Gillies
