Family! Hey how goes it this week? So we had transfers and that was a very new experience! So to start off Sunday after Church we were in the house of a member and I received a call from the Secretaries! He told me everyone's transfers then mine! I will be transfered to ...Zona Central! That's it. No news on comp, no curca nada! So I started to call everyone in my branch to tell them (also found out the area received 2 sisters) but they said they will throw a party Monday night. So Monday morning (p-day) I woke up, started packing everything. It gets harder each time fitting everything in my bags! I had to use a box also! But then I went and got my watch fixed, then to correios w/my box! It had 2 ores, 1 cd, 1 plastic box, 1 shirt from helping hands and suprisas! Share! So that was 90 reias. So not really bad. I hope you get it all! So I sent that then we went to e mail you! Then to the party! Where one by one they stood up and complimented me on our work. It was cool! The best was Presidente Antonio. He said I could return and have wifes waiting for me. He's so funny. With every person that stood up after they would say Tchau Deakin. It was a really cool experience then at 2 in the morning I got on the bus, got into Manaus 7:15. It was raining really bad so the bus went really slow. So got there to the office and they posted the names out front like when your trying out for a sport. It was funny! My new area Novo Israel. Comp is Elder Helama Javiar DeSilva. Its a ward that has less members than Itacoatiara. Now my area has more hills than San Francisco. It's so bad. Just to get to lunch, up, down, up, down. We are knocking doors. Last week we knocked 4 entire streets, everyhouse. My house when I got here was super dirty but it's getting cleaner and cleaner. I sleep on a mattress on the floor so thats fun! But we have air conditioner! Also internet is really good here so I will start trying to send photos every p-day. I cant take too many pictures cuz I don't take my camera with me. It's dangerous. I will buy my web cam to use skype so everything is going to be great! I think thats all for now. Tchau! I Love You all! Elder Deakin Espiritual message. "the Event mentioned most in the Bible is the Second Coming. Birth 9 times, baptism 52, second coming 1,500 times in the Old Testament, 300 in the New. I thought that was really cool!
