Hello!
Well, transfers were yesterday and I was transferred to Bucaramanga, Bucarica 2! I traveled ALL DAY! Here is a quick break down of the bus rides: Barbosa to Tunja (1 hr 30 min), Tunja to Bogotá (2hrs), Bogotá to Bucaramanga (9 hrs). I left Barbosa at 12pm and I got to my house in Bucaramanga at 5am today...yay haha. The bus to Bucaramanga was a little longer than normal because there was a lot of traffic in Bogotá. However, the thing that was interesting about my travels was that I had to go to Bogotá to meet up with the other missionaries who were going to Bucaramanga, and then had to pass by Tunja and Barbosa on our way to Bucaramanga. So good thing being in Barbosa prepared me a lot to travel in buses haha. I was a little sad to leave Barbosa at first because last week some investigators and less actives were finally completing their commitments and they were seeing the blessings from them! SO AWESOME! But even though it was hard to say goodbye, I know that the Lord has things for me to do here in Bucaramanga. I'm excited to start working here and have more missionaries around haha. I'm still a little tired today but I will get over it, haha. It's so weird that we are already in JUNE! and I almost have a year..WHAT?! Time is flying by and it's a little scary. When I was leaving Barbosa and it was a little hard, I thought about what it will be like to leave the mission and it FREAKED me out! So I will probably never do that again, haha. But Bucaramanga is tierra caliente (it's hot here) and it's beautiful. However, the house is a little interesting, but I'll let you know more about that later..well maybe, idk haha. Oh and my new comp is Elder Aguilar. I will take a pic with him and give you more info next week! Sorry this email was really random. Okay, I dont have much time, so that's it for today. Thank you for all of your love and support! Chau!
