So I didn´t get an email out last week, because we got transfer calls Sunday, and Monday I took the bus to Goiania and then a six hour bus ride to Uberlandia in the state of Minas Gerais(I don´t know if I spelled that correctly). My new companion is Elder Sousa Silva. He hails from São Paulo and has one transfer less than me on the mission. I´m finally in an area that I can call my own. Every other Area I´ve had I´ve been stuck in limbo, but now I´m no longer a greenie and I don´t have to worry about where I´m going to be in six weeks (at least I hope I don´t have to worry). We have a lot of work to do here in the Tibery ward. Our area is pretty massive, so this last week our efforts have been focused on finding new investigators. We taught a lot of lessons and set a lot of baptismal dates, but when it came to Sunday we didn´t have anyone in church. The language is coming faster now that I´m with a Brazilian companion, and I don´t have that temptation to speak english. I just know that I´m going to sound weird when I call at Christmas. I´m doing a lot more street contacting for myself now, and it´s funny the excuses people come up with. I should be writing about some awesome baptisms in a couple weeks. Love you all.
Love,
Elder David Short
