Transfer Week

well...
Things are going well here. I am alive, and kicking. This was probably the craziest week of my mission. Anything that could have gone wrong this week, did. President´s flight got canceled and delayed three different times, the light went out, the water went out, his daughters missed their flight, the clutch on the van broke, and Presidents van´s battery died and needed to be fixed, the newbies didn't have anywhere to stay, a lot of elders getting sick, needing to take care of rent for everywhere in the mission. the guy in Buenos Aires that makes sure we have money has been sick since LAST Thursday, so we didn't have any money to pay for anything, and so many other things that just went crazy this week. Those are just a few examples. It was insane, and it was way hard to say goodbye to President Spitale. My companion and I were one of 6 Elders that got to be at the Airport to see he and his family off. It was tough, not going to lie. There were lagrimas in my eyes. I am going to miss them. But yeah, then all of the greenies that got here-they are definitely a SPECIAL group of newbies...enough said of that. We got to see our area for an hour yesterday, and that was the first time that we were able to leave the office all week long. It has been absolutely crazy. I guess I am just whining-but 6AM to 1AM straight for a week really kicks your butt. I was really tired. But now its PDAY! WOOT WOOT! We are going to play some Basketball, and go to lunch with some recent converts of my new companion.Oh, and the new mission President´s name is President Detlefsen. He is from Cordoba, Argentina. LEGIT! He is a way cool guy, and knows SO much about the scriptures. Very intelligent. I am stoked to work with him.I have AT LEAST two more transfers(or three more months) in the office, basically training the Mission President on how the money of the mission works, and what he has to pay for, and what exactly i do. whew...Crazy stuff. Well, here we go with another week. we are not sure if we even have church this week. Everybody is cancelling church for the flu-definitely puts a damper on missionary work. But, whatcha gonna do.I love you guys, and I hope everything is going absolutely amazing for you!I attached a photo of President and his wife. Their last name again is DETLEFSEN. Hope you all have an absolutely amazing 4th of July.Love,Elder Andy
