Well, it's that time again. Changes, or whatever you want to call them, have come to the mission Chalco, and this time around Elder Ortiz and I are not safe. In fact, we both have cambios. (Take that English, I'll just use Spanish.) I think I explained this, but if not, they changed recently how they do the cambios. Now they just tell us our new zone, and we find out what area we are going to, and who our new companion is, when we get there on Tuesday. So, for now I only know that I'm going to a zone called Lehi, which is in the stake Solidaridad. And Elder Ortiz is going to Chalco, again. So, I'll let you know all the details next week when I have them, but for now you can know that my mission is still a series of changes.
Well, other than that, everything is more or less the same here. The whole mission is getting exited because Elder Bednar is going to be coming to the mission on the 15th of May. It looks like President Crickmore is pretty worried about reverence, with good cause. For some reason, when you get together a group of about 180 young adults that are, for the most part, pretty good friends, things can get a little bit irreverent. Still, we've gotten better recently, and I think we'll be on our best behaviour with an apostle coming to the mission. They are also focusing a lot on punctuality with this one. In a letter that he sent to the entire mission, President Crickmore said that they're going to shut the doors half an hour before the meeting starts, and they're not going to open them for anybody. Basically, I'm going to make sure we get there early.
That's about it for news today. Sorry, I draw a bit of a blank on what I can say when I'm going to have cambges. (There, perfect Spanglish. (Or would cambfers be better? Tell me what you think I should call them.)) I did in fact hear about the earthquake in Nepal. I also saw some pretty impressive images from a volcano that erupted in Chile. I don't know if those ones got to Utah or not, especially because it happened right when the earthquake hit Nepal. Both of those events made me worry a little bit more about being so close to an active volcano, but I know that God protects us, and that I just have to trust in him and everything will be OK.
Well, I think that's about it for me. Kind of a short one today, but I promise I'll have more to say next week. I love you, and I'll write you next week.
Love,
Elder Samuel Long
Hola,
Surprise second letter. I'm just writing because a call literally just came in with some news. I'm going to be training a new Elder this cycle. So, yeah, I'm going to be a dad! And I'm going to opening an area. Fetch. (Oh, fetch is the official english expression that all the missionaries, including the mexicans, use.)
OK, I love you, and I'll write you next week.
Love,
Elder Samuel Long
