What Just Happened???

So I'm still a little dizzy from hearing the news. We got transfer

notices today. I will be leaving my dearly beloved companion, Elder

Vieira... He's the best and I've loved getting to work and learn with

him. He's truly an example of Christ always and he's taught me so

much. I've loved getting to see his parents be baptized these past two

months as they found true testimonies of the Church of Jesus Christ of

Latter-Day Saints and made the decision to be baptized. It was truly

special. I'll also miss this area a ton. It's been great here!

I am getting shipped back to the capital. Actually, I've been

specifically been transferred to the Mission Office to be the new

Records Secretary. I'll have to deal with all the baptism records as

well as any reference to be passed to or from the missionaries in the

Brazil São Paulo North mission. Here we go! Off to new and COMPLETELY

different adventures! President Farnes called me this morning asking

for my help in this and saying that he trusted in me and that I was

needed there, which was all super touching and nerve wracking. But

it's all good. I'm going to go eat at Applebee's right now to settle

down. That's right. Brazil has Applebee's and it's SUPER expensive.

That's about all I have. From now on I'll be writing everyone on

Saturday, as that'll be my new Preparation Day from now on. SO WEIRD.

Love y'all! Keep yourselves safe and well! Have fun!

Sincerely,

Elder Ashford
