My new companion is Elder Urquia!
This week was a little crazy, we had transfers and I'm now in Carlos A. Carrillo.
So this Tuesday we had our transfers meeting and since the meeting was at 9:00 and our bus got to the city at 9.20, me and all the other missionaries from Los Tuxtlas strolled in about 9:30. It was fun and I found out I was leaving for Carlos A Carrillo. All I know is that my trainer started his mission there. I got there and literally it is almost in the middle of nowhere. It's pretty cool though.I just realized My new companion is Elder Urquia, he's from Argentina. There are about 80 members and they're all pretty great. We had a few really great investigators but one moved away so that was sad. We are working with the others still and trying to find more right now. Not much really happened until Thursday night. We visited a member for dinner I didn't really eat because I felt sick. We got to our house and I threw up. The next day we stayed home and I mainly slept and made frequent trips to our bathroom, but now I'm all good. We call what I experienced the two headed dragon...I'll let you figure that out.
One of our investigators asked God if the BoM is true and had a dream that was really cool. She saw her brother reading a bible, and when she saw what he was reading she woke up. She shared the scripture her brother was reading and my companion researched it to figure out what it means and we're going back this week to answer her questions.
I don't really think anything else happened.

Bits and pieces from phone calls:
It was hard saying goodbye to all the people in my old area. I will miss them all so much.
The ward is small but so nice...they feed us lunches, and one family has invited us to dinner whenever we want.
It's always a challenge starting in a new place, but it's going to be good.
Today we had district meetings...to get to a place even more in the middle of nowhere we had to take two different taxi rides, and hop on a ferry...wishing we had travel reimbursement!
We get to go the church house in our area on pday for emailing and phone calls...awesome because we have air conditioning!
My new area is hot...it was 107 a day last week, so yeah, gonna get good use of that sweat towel.
My old apartment just before I moved out...
cleanest it's ever been.
back at the mission home getting my new assignment
just me clapping in the background
