"ME VOY, QUE LASTIMA PERO ADIOS..." - Julieta Vengas (I think that's how you spell it) Anyway, I WAS TRANSFERRED! That's why I wasn't able to write yesterday, im so sorry if I freaked you guys out. But now I'm in Barbosa 2 in the Zone Tunja. Tunja is supposedly the coldest part of Colombia, however Bogota is colder than here, so Im happy that its warmer. The bus ride was 3 and a half hours to Tunja from Bogota. We passed through Boyaca and we are barely inside of the departamento Santander. However, once we got to Tunja another Elder and I had to take another 2 hour bus ride to Barbosa. We didn't have a cell phone for the trip, but nothing happened so its all good. We had the direction of our house and the cell numbers of our zone leaders and the other elders in Barbosa. So Barbosa is a pueblito, or a small town. Like I said, we drove for two hours away from Tunja and 99% of what we passed was greenery. It was so beautiful, however it was dark so I could barely see outside. It is such a cool little area. There is just a branch here and the church is in a house. The first two stories are the church and then we live on the 3rd floor, its pretty cool haha. It is soo much different from Bogota, and so much more beautiful! My comp is Elder Carriel from Chile and there are two Elders living with us too, one from Panama and the other is from Peru I think. Oh yeah, packing was the most stressful think of my life! I had about a hour to pack in the morning after they called us and I found out I have SO MUCH CRAP! haha I'm going to try to downsize when I get transferred next. But ya I got here a little after 7 last night so I'm still trying to figure out the area. I will tell you more about here when we skype next week. I love you all so much!! and cant wait to talk to you all next week!! LOVE YOU!!

p.s. my knee is doing much better! I only take the pills when it hurts REALLY bad but it hasn't hurt for a day or two. So hopefully in a few more days my knee will be normal again!
