Le toca a mi - November 21st

Familia,
Well, I guess you guys are right on the ball with transfers. I was wondering if you remembered that it was posible I could be leaving and it just so happens that I am leaving. I really wasn´t expecting to leave though. The area is big and a lot of missionaries have been in villa cabello for six months when the two areas are combined. I really thought I had one transfer more and was rather set on that Fact. So it was a surprise. Honestly I feel pretty sad. I know the people here so well it seems and have had such a lot of growing experiences here. I look back and realize that in the language alone I really have grown. I understand so easily now and respond almost as easily. Still got work to do though. Anyway, more than anything I will miss the Elders of this zone because they helped me improve myself so much, mainly the zone leaders. I have made some really good friends here. What can you do? Just got to keep moving on I guess.
Okay, I guess before I go further you want to know where I am going. I will be staying in misiones and moving just about an hour out of the city to a place called Jardín America. The members here told me that it is a small branch with about 40 people when all are in attendance. About like my last area it sounds. It will be a smaller village a bit more tranquil I guess. They say it is a really nice area, very beautiful. My companion is going to be Elder Gustaferson or something like that. He only has 2 transfers out here it sounds like and I am pretty sure I have seen him but I can´t remember who it is. We will see I guess.
To answer your question, yes my cold materializad and has been annoying me all week. I still have a sniffle which seems stupid as it is so hot here. I think it is the crazy changes in climate that we have here.
Oh yeah, I forgot about thanksgiving almost. I hope you enjoy laughing about mom and jonathan.
As for the primary yeah that was a fun treat. Our rama changad the date of our program until the next week so I won´t be able to help out with that one now. Instead I had the wonderful privilage of talking to everyone in church. Well really it rained and there were only about 30 people or so (a lot for all the rain we had). I was actually quite excited for the chance I had to talk and share my thoughts on missionary work. Sounds strange but it is true. I did lose my voice a bit and didn´t sound too great for the talk but oh well, they have to listen anyway.
I will definately let you know when I get your CD. I don´t think it will count as a package. The next package you may have to send me some shoes though. My first pair is trashed and the other is a bit uncomfortable on one spot of my heal and is rubbing it raw. I will figure something out, but I think shoes sent from home will be better. I am fine for now though.
I will be sad not to see the baptism of Natividad and how things develop with her family, but I told my comp to send me pictures when it happens. He says he will. Good thing too because we didn´t have the chance to go visit them today to take pictures. I wasn´t able to visit lots of people, but I tried.
will miss all the investigators I had here and all the members, we really started getting things organizad and I have learned a ton. All will serve to help in my next area I guess. It sounds like I may need to step it up now because I am not sure how well my comp understands castellano. It will be fun. It is interesting to see all the ways the Lord tests us and helps us grow.
Love you all and will let you know how things go next week.
Elder Aaron McDonald
