Leavin' on a jet plane! ...or a boat.

So I thought I was going to be transferred, and I will be going to the island of Sao Nicolao. After 8ish long months in Mosterios, I am gone! I am going to miss a lot of the members, and Paula and Guta, but they are in good hands! I will be serving with Elder Jensen. He is ending his mission here in three weeks. so there are only four elders on this island. My whole mission I have been in the areas that are super far away from other elders. I have the nickname of the exiled missionary... and the really weird part about this transfer is that iImight end my mission in this area...WHAT!! When did that happen!?!!  It should be a good one though. I am really excited to get a fresh start and end the mission strong!

Fun fact though. We actually got evacuated this last week (*Todd's mother would be very interested in hearing WHY...), so I don't have a ton to say about missionary work, other than we did have our Christmas party. (Mother, I think I finally have an idea of what it's like to spend hours in the kitchen... :/). That was super good! We were able to relax and really enjoy the spirit of Christmas. Sis. Mathews shared a part of her conversion story and talked about how the little drummer boy did not have much, but he gave to Christ the best he had. And she invited us to give our best. Many of us have very different skills and resources but Christ does not want us to bring someone else's talents, he wants ours. 

That's all I got for this week. Oh, but I did translate for the stake president here when he had a meeting with the area seventy about the volcano! So that was cool! Super excited for the Skype call! Talk to you here in a few! ;)

Love,
