New Area; No beach and Training



Elder Close is finally off the beach and in a town close to Argentina (see area in red in map below)
so.... there have been a few changes here with me. ive been tranfered1!! 2 americans got their vistas in the middle of the transfer and now I am training. this is my 3rd companion in one transfer. also, we opened up a new area on the complete other side of the state. the city is called chapecó. the ppl here are gaucho (basically rednecks) so they are way different than the ppl in floripa. weve been here for about 5 dyas already and are finally starting to learn the area. my new companions name is Elder Duffin. fun fact. it turns out that if it wasnt for the fact that that i went to the brazil ctm, i would of gone to provo and we would have been in the same district. it's pretty weird training someone who has the exact same time as you on the mission. but he is way cool. he spent one year in texas and finally came here. so basicallly here we have an american who knows enough portugues to get by, another who is just starting without investigators or any sense of where we are in the city. its like 2 blind ppl guiding each other lol. but i like it. that just means we have to work harder and im learning streets and reference points faster than i ever learned on the mission. . . but all is good here.
