Well after getting sent to Guadalajara in an ambulance, I´m now finally in my new area. I didn´t even go back for my bags, the Elderes in Colima packed them and sent them. I arrived in my area wednesday at noon, more or less. My companion is Elder Guzmán, who is from Chiapas (maps are useful) and also speaks Tzotzil. I´ll see if I can pick up any of that while I´m here. My district leader is from Cuzco, Peru. Cool guys, both of them.
Guadalajara is cooler than Colima. It is also more Catholic. Even still, I also get the strange feeling that I´m in Utah or California every once in a while, and it keeps throwing me off. We´ve got an upcoming baptism as well (apparently he had been very resistant, but he told us he felt ready to be baptized the other day). His name is Filiberto, and his wife is a member. The only complication is the cast on his right arm that can´t get wet. We´re working that out though. I have high hopes for this transfer. I feel there is very much good that can be done here.
As my birthday comes up (and also the 8 month mark) I have been thinking about how fast the time has gone by, what I would have done better, and what I intend to do in the future. I am still young, but old enough to make a real difference, with respect to both age and time in the mission. We´ll see how things go in the near future.
Thank you so much for continuing to write, every bit of information is a real blessing to me. I love you very much, and know that everything will work out for our profit and blessing. The time has flown, and now I´ve got to go.
Take care,
Elder Lund
