I am so happy! I have to tell you that these last few days have been absolutely wonderful. We had combios and I got sent to an area called Equipetrol that is really close to my last area Belen. It is such a nice area and my companion is the BEST companion I have ever ever had. I am so grateful. She really is wonderful. Her name is Hermana Cruz and she is from Guatemala. She is the sweetest, most patient person I have ever met here in the mission. I 've only been in my new area for a few days but the members have been so warm and friendly to me. My new house is TINY. There is only room for our beds and our wardrobes and a super small pathway to get to my bed. Speaking of my bed, I have a funny story. The other day I was scooting down to the end of my bed to kneel down and pray with my comp and as i was sitting at the foot of the bed it went crashing to the floor haha. Just the bottom half of the bed but I laughed so hard with Hermana Cruz and then we hurried and assembled the new bed that was sitting outside our door. THis all happened before church haha. It was so funny. I had to do a contact in English the other day. It was so hard! The guy I contacted was in his late forties, I'd guess, and he had a perfect spanish accent. But truns out he is from Texas, haha, but here studying anthropology. It was actually fun to talk with him because my comp is learning English here on the mission and she could understand practically everything we said.She's helping me perfect my Spanish and I'm helping her with English. She made me breakfast the first day.We have a calico cat too that lives on our patio that beongs to the member family we live with. Its so cute and makes me feel like I'm at home. ITs really nice. I 'm learning a little Portuguese. I know how to greet people and say everthings fine. My comp is teaching me because there are so many universities in our area so lots of people come here from Brazil to go to school. I'm doing really good, a little sluggish still after being in bed for a week (had dengue again) but really I'm feeling good. I gave one of my sheets to a man that lives on our street. He was sleeping on the sidewalk and it was a little cold so we brought him a couple sheets while he slept. It was so special. I love you all and will write in a week.
