Transfer and Training in Jardin! July 1, 2013

With his awesome District Leader!

 His new big 900 sq ft. home with his own bathroom!

 Andrew with his new companion, Elder Soza, from Provo. 
He is from the same ward as Andrew's cousin, Jonba and his family.

 WHAT?! I'm getting transferred and I'm going to be a trainer?!
 
Wow! A lot has happened in one week! I don't know what I'm doing to make me get transferred all the time, but I got news last Monday night that I was transferring and that I'm going to be TRAINING! I don't know how to train! I kept calling the district leader to see if he was joking but its what I am doing.  So Wednesday I met up with my new comp. and headed to Jardin. It's just across town from my other area and I'm still in this mission.
 
 So  Elder Soza, my companion! He is from Provo and Johns family was in his ward and he knew Jonba pretty well. So that's cool. So Elder Soza has been out a transfer and I'm gonna help finish his training with him. 
 
  So I've been with him for 6 days and I know that this is going to be an awesome transfer. He is learning Spanish super quick, so we are about the same level in speaking ability. But since we're two goober gringos walking around we are gonna be learning Spanish so much faster because I don't have a super experienced Latino to rely on when I can't explain the word of wisdom or something. And we get along super great. He has been teaching me the area and is really committed to the work! This area is on fire too! We have lots of investigators and we want to baptize like fire here! 
 
  I feel like this is going to be an awesome opportunity to learn leadership. As I am learning more about the area and becoming more involved with our planning, I am realizing that this area has tons of potential. First of all, we have a big ward and we actually have a ward council! We have many members that are willing to help us whenever we can. I think we can have a lot of success here because the members are so strong here. 
 
  We have a nice house in Jardin, very spacious. I'm guessing like 900 square feet, and I have my own bathroom. What else.... oh Because the mission split, this transfers gonna only be 4 weeks. Thanks for all the birthday letters. I got a bunch more. I'll send some pictures. 
 
 Love you all!  
 Love Elder Flake
 
 Some great families they were teaching in San Miquel.


Last P-day in San Miquel with Elder Granillo.
