Week 23 -- Cuidad Sandio and Managua

I'm glad that everything has gone well for you guys this week. It really is cool to read a little bit about all of your lives every Monday. I wish I could have been there for some of it, but I know that it's better that I'm here. So, this letter's going to be a little bit shorter than it usually is every week. Because, as I just found out about 3 hours ago, I have something called cambios de emergencia. Basically what it means, is that even though it's not the normal time for a change to happen, I'm being moved to a different area with a different companion. I was told this a little bit earlier today, and Elder Hironaka (one of the Assistants to the President) told me that I would be picked up "tonight". So basically, I have about four more hours to pack, get ready to go, and say goodbye to all of my converts, before the AP's come and pick me up to go wherever they send me. Which is another thing. I don't actually know where I'm going. Right now, it looks pretty likely that I'll either be in the mission office, or it a district in Managua called Boer. But I really have no idea. So the last few hours have been pretty stressful for me. But we'll see how this ends up going. Last week, we found a few new people to teach, but they're not really my investigators, so.... Yeah. Next week I'll definitely have some new stuff to share.

As for last call in my package, if you could find a pitch pipe on such short notice, that would be really cool. But other than that, I'll leave anything else you want to put in the package up to you.

Well, that's going to be it in this letter. I'll definitely have some new stuff to report next week. But I love all of you, and wish you all luck this week in your various stuff. Can't wait to hear from you next week!

Love,

Cooper

Later that week:

Well, turns out I'm in  tho office. So my P days are Wednesday now. Woohoo! Two P Days in a week! I'll very likely be in the office for five and a half transfers or so. Apparently the guy that I replaced got robbed and it got pretty hairy, so they emergency transferred him out for his safety. So now I'm here in the office. I'm over References (from members, mormon.org, etc.) and Retention (making sure recent converts get all their lessons, stay active, all that stuff). I'm pretty happy with it. It shows that President Russell has a lot of trust in me, I like all the guys in the office, and I'm proselyting in a pretty blessed area. It'll be stressful, but I think I'll enjoy it.
