> Okay, I don’t even know where to
> begin. I feel like I just watched the last 10 minutes of

> you have no idea what is coming next. Yeah, that is how I
> feel. Well, that would really only work if my assumption
> that Heroes is still continuing the pattern of throwing
> everything into a mess is still true. Maybe you don’t even
> watch Heroes anymore. Maybe Heroes never really existed and
> my subconscious self just created it to entertain me during
> the long hours spent on the train going to district meeting.
> That could so happen!
>
> Don’t you see how crazy everything is!?
>
> Oops, sorry to get you all hyped up. I forgot about the
> weekly business.
>
> CHRISTMAS CALL! I am thinking you can call me at 9:00 at
> night, my time. I will confirm the call time next week. Organize
> yourselves. I want us to use every second of this call efficiently. I
> think my voice has gotten deeper and it will probably take me the
> entire call to convince you that it really has. I am serious
> people, be ready.
>
> As for the Email of Ronny and Gina, I went ahead and gave
> her your email, mom. Hopefully she will email you because
> she said she really wants to talk to you. If not, I will
> give you hers as soon as I get it. It may take me a while
> seeing as I am not in Aranjuez anymore.
>
> AAH! I totally blew the secret! I was emergency
> transferred!!! I hope you can feel the emotion in all the
> exclamation marks I am using!! All last week it was awesome.
> All the members were fighting over when we were going to go
> over to their houses on Christmas day and eve. We had
> everything booked and I was totally banking on having these
> two days, plus the branch Christmas party, to be the needed
> push to get me over my goal of the big 200. That dream is no
> more. As always happens, karma was waiting until the moment
> was perfect to bring the world down on me. We had all these
> huge plans and goals, a bunch of baptismal dates, and at the
> end of it all even joked about how sucky it would be if my
> mission continued its current pattern. I had gone 2 ½
> transfers in Barrio 6, 3 ½ transfers in Talavera, and I was
> coming up on 4 ½ transfers in Aranjuez. Well, I can tell
> you it was just as sucky as we thought it would suck.
> Apparently the stars aligned and here I am. There is another
> frightful pattern, that whole aligning of the stars thing.
> The last time it happened, as we all know, the Titans were
> released and they almost took over Olympus. Okay, that was
> off topic, back to the point at hand. Tuesday morning the
> phone rang and my companion picked up. The zone leaders here
> on the other line and asked how I was doing. Elder Driggs
> told them I was feeling pretty yucky, because I was (better
> now). They then asked if I felt good enough to pack my bags.
> They tried to pass it off on the Driggster, but he also
> feared telling me. Finally they got to me and luckily the
> shock of it all left me in an awkward state of numbness that
> only allowed me to sit down and stare at the wall. And there
> I stared for a good long moment. When I finally came to I
> wasn’t even mad, just impressed. The fates really have a
> sense of humor.
>
> That brings us to almost now. After all the teary goodbyes
> I went off to Madrid. There they informed me of the
> happenings. I have been changed to Barrio 1 located in
> Cuatro Caminos, pretty much the dead center of Madrid. I am
> in a four man piso (weird, but fun), we have a ward (excited
> to see it), there are millions of people (it is madness), my
> companion is a goofball (Elder Wallace, very entertaining
> fellow), there are 4 hermanas in the district (I am scared
> out of my mind), and I still have to unpack (soon, maybe
> right after this).
>
> So that is it. I don’t know how that came across, but I
> hope you could get the feeling of it all. My jaw dropped so
> hard that I think I need a chinstrap to bring it back up.
>
> I will give you a huge updates this coming week. Prepare
> yourselves.
