Hey Family,
I'm now in Drummondville-which is an hour north of Sherbrooke. Some other elders were having some trouble getting along up here, so President asked me to take part in an Emergency transfer and swap out one of the elders. This happened friday morning, so I didn't get to say goodbye to anyone from Sherbrooke, but you know, that's life. I'd like to think of it as a very BATMAN exit, someone is still asking a question and all there is is an open window and some curtains blowing in the breeze. The transfer ends on the 21st, so I should just be here for one week, or more if President transfers me here for good. So it's a very limbo week, for sure. I'm sad to be broken up with E. Cherry, after we got off the phone with president he wasn't too happy about the situation either, he described us splitting up as "having an abortion against your will," I really like E. Cherry. I felt like I left Sherbrooke in good standing, we were able to boost our numbers from 3 to 15 investigators, and reactivated a good part of the ward, it was cool. Onto the next area.
My new companion is E. Valido, he is a VERY interesting character. He is 27 years old, decided to go on a mission right before he finished his masters in Critical textualism of the bible. He was a full time baptist minister before he was converted to the Church. He curses like a sailor, and is not a clean person--he's about the same height and shape as uncle Tim. Maybe a little shorter. He's also a graphic designer and a marine/army guy, he did both. He knows a whole lot about the bible, that's for sure.
So yeah, my comp is a baptist minister. How crazy is that. The branch here is really cool, really excited about missionary work, that's for sure. A longer letter will come next week, when I have something to write about here in Drummondville. I will also let you know where I'm going next week, if I'm going anywhere.
All the Best,
E. Holm
Before the change, there wasn't much going on. Just working and all that jazz.
