Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the father: Ye shall have eternal life. -2 Nephi 31:20

Oficina week 25 - Curve ball

Sully as high priest eh? That´s super neat that you got to set him apart dad. Julie and Brett are in the other ward right? And what?? Kidney removal surgery on Sam?? When did that happen? I´m so glad to hear that everything worked out good.
Transfers went way well actually. Only a couple bumps and mistakes but it turned out really well and i think President and Hermana were super happy about how it turned out. All the 21 viejos went home this morning. Huge hole in the mission but it´s alright because we´re in the second harvest of Spain. There are prepared people everywhere.
Well here comes the curve ball. The talk of transfers doesn´t end here because....... I got transferred!!! I totally thought this wouldn´t happen because my replacement hadn´t come 3 weeks in advance before the transfer like they usually do here in the office when someone is getting transferred. I´m now in Hospitalet (city right outside of Barc) and I´m Zone Leader with Elder Littlefield!! Super crazy. Totally didn´t see it coming. I pretty much dont know anything about Elder Littlefield because i just moved to Hospitalet last night. I´ll let you know about him next week. But he´s amazing. He´s been out for about a year and a half and he´s been Zone Leader for 2 transfers. I´ve always wanted to serve with him, he´s so humble and such a powerful missionary. My replacement, Elder Watkins, just got here yesterday to the office, so President told me i have to come in every day and work with him during office hours and train him. Then every evening i go back to my area! It´s going to be pretty hard because, first off, i have no idea how to be Zone Leader and secondly, it will be hard to learn the area only working there for a couple hours every night. But i guess i already know how that is. It´s alright though because we´re in a trio right now in Hospitalet with a Visa waiter who´s going to be serving in Utah. His name is Elder Salcedo from Peru! He´s lived in Spain since he was 9 and got baptized with his mom when he was 16. He´s so good. So Elder Littlefield and him will be working the area while im here training in the office. Huge change! I´m way excited though. It will be neat to get to know the zone and help them to become missionaries that baptize every week. Elder Middleton, the ayudante from England that i´ve been living with for the last 3 tranfers, was zone leader in Hospitalet right before becoming ayudante and he said Hospitalet is incredible. I´ve heard that investigators just drop from the sky and the members work super well with the missionaries. Referrals everywhere. We´ll be having a baptism this weekend too.
Keep praying for me because i REALLY need them now haha love you all. Adeu a tots,

Elder Reeves
