So this week is transfer week. Yesterday I got a call from the assistants to the president and they are moving me. I am going to the Island of Dominica (not the Dominican Republic). I'm pretty stoked. This means that Im going to have to change my proselyting language to English. I'm really excited. I believe that there is only one pair of missionaries on the entire Island. Its going to be crazy. I don't know what to expect at all. Im pretty sure that I know who my know companion is. He was in my zone three transfers ago. My flight leaves Wednesday at 1 pm. My companion is really jeolous, because he is still learning Spanish. So he wishes that he could go to the English part of the mission. The weird thing about it is that last Tuesday we had our interviews with the mission president, and after we had finished he asked me to say the closing prayer. So I started to say the prayer, Our dear Heavenly Father, up until then I had always said my prayers in Spanish when I was with president, but I had already started in English and so I just continued to pray in English. After the prayer the president just looked at me and smiled. It was pretty weird, but now I know why it happened like that.Hope you have the greatestestest week ever.
Truly yours,
