Hola Familia,

So I bet your just dieing to know what happened with transfers. It’s going to blow your mind, I still can’t believe it! But you’re going to have to wait.  :-)

This week we did some “interesting” things. On Saturday we got a call from the office saying that there was a family who got robbed in the bus terminal, and they needed help. We went to find them to let them use our phone to call the office and find someone to help them. They are from Paraguay and were trying to get home. But why in the terminal?  They got robbed, everything – so, they are stuck.

We arrived there and the place is packed with people. So here are two missionaries walking around this place looking for some people we’ve never meet. A few people stopped me and asked me a few question in English. Everybody was looking at us as we walked around for an hour trying to find these peeps. No luck. So then my companion made a little sign with their name on it and the guy finally saw us. I mean come on, why couldn’t you see us before. Gringo,tall, white shirt, tie and name plaque. I guess for some it’s hard.

We got them to talk to someone who could help them. Now we got there at 2:30 pm, remember this, and the Church was trying to get someone to come help them, but not working very hard in this, finally around 5 pm they got someone; some guy was going to come to help but couldn’t get there until 7 pm, so he told us to wait there. To cut the story short, he didn’t show up until 9:45 pm. ¡Que rapido! The family had been in the terminal for two days. But now they’re on their way home.

Fun Fact: I completed 6 months, that’s 1/4 of my mission, que loco.

Transfers, I got the call on Saturday night after we got back from terminal…not the time to receive the call and get the answer I wasn’t looking for. I’m in centro another transfer. I wanted to talk to the Zone Leader to see if he was messing, but no…four months in the same area. I was a little upset, but I’m legit now. I figure there is someone here waiting for me. I was so ready to go, but this transfer will be good, I’m ready to start.

Elder Holland is going home; the loser never gave me back my shirts. But it’s no bueno when your friends go home, but I guess that’s part of the mish.

That’s all I got, thanks for your prayers and everything.

Les amo,

Elder Glanzer
