I have been transferred. Goodbye Gambino, hello Valle Grande... No wait, Simon Bolivar 3? What happened was that I was supposed to go to Valle Grande, out in the country, put there was a missionary who had a relative in the ward in which he was going to serve. So President Essig called me up, and sent me off to Simon Bolivar 3, close to downtown Santiago. My new companion is Elder Huaratapayro ( try saying that three times fast) from Peru. This sector is baptizing like crazy apparently, and now I`m here. It`s actually a large ward that is divided into three different sectors. I`m excited. The only problem is the house - it has water problems. Needless to say, we will probably be changing in the next couple of weeks.
We had a ward activity on friday that started out with just us, the ward mission leader, and his family. We gained a few more people, but that was basically it. Everyone wished me well in the ward yesterday. I finished packing this morning. My bags weigh a ton. I`ll send pictures of the old ward and house next week.
I`m sorry to hear that Joann Stevens died. She was so sweet and kind. I will miss Her. And now Jon Mortenson is the Bishop in Steilacoom ward? Whoa. Best of luck to him.
That`s all for today folks,
Elder Hjelm
