Greetings from Bruxelles.
It's been just an amazing week to live as a
missionary. It felt like an eternity, but it's going really good. Leaving Brest
was a little sad, and I basically didn't have anytime to do anything besides
packing. Transfer Day was stressful and hectic as usual, but at the end of the
day I made it back to Brussels safe and sound.
My new comp is Elder Dorado. He's from Calgary,
Alberta but he was born in Colombia. He's hilarious. He makes me laugh hard
multiple times a day. Finishing a mission is easy with him as a companion.
We whitewashed in so it's like a new clean
slate for the équipe. We've been doing lots of finding so we're starting out
things a little slowly. We did, en fait, get a chance to meet one of our amis,
Lupe. She's an older woman from Ecuador. She's very sweet and loves life. It
seems like she might like having us around merely for good company, but we'll
see in the upcoming visits.
I been able to see lots of the members and good
friends that I made forever ago when I started my mission. Everyone else seems
happy to see me, too. It feels kind of weird to be back as a missionary,
because it reminds me of the young, foolish missionary I was in the past. I'm
really grateful for this chance I have to serve Brussels for another transfer.
Time will really fly by. I can feel it already.
My goal is to simply make these last six weeks the funnest six weeks of my
mission.
I wish you all an amazing week.
Love,
Elder Aburto
