Transfers and Atotolco

Hola, 

Well, if you couldn't tell, I didn't get to go to Teotihuacan today. Still, like you said, there will be other opportunities, but I am a little bit disappointed. Still, I do get to write this week, so there is still an upside, but I don't have any cool ruin pictures to send home.

This week was pretty good. Elder Tadeo was looking at the map of our area and decided to go check out an area we had never been to before. It's called Atotolco, and it's a good deals away from the area we are usually in. It also has no paved roads, something we don't run into to often in our area. Still, we found somebody to teach there, so we'll probably be down in that area more often from now on. Although chances are one of us won't be here too much longer. Transfers are a week from Tuesday, and since I finish my training then, chances are very good that one of us leaves. Elder Tadeo has been in the area longer, but he is also district leader, and they tend to stay in their areas longer, so we really don't know who will be going and who will be staying. That's part of the mission life though I guess. 

I'm glad to hear you got your room set up though. I think this is the first year in a while I haven't come to help you with that. So I'm happy that everything went OK. And I'm sorry to hear about the week of meetings. I know that can be really hard, and I hope you find a good game to keep you occupied. I like one called Galaxy on Fire 2. I don't believe the first one actually exists, so I don't know why it's number 2, but it's good to keep you distracted for a while. Hopefully that helps. 

 I think that's about it for me. I haven't gotten your postcard yet. That's Mexico I guess. I'll write you next week and let you know what's going on with transfers. I love you, and I get what you were saying because I feel the same way about you. 

 Love,
Elder Samuel Long
