William wrote last night to tell us that he is being transferred to Barranquilla. He has been in Cartagena for the past 5 1/2 months and this is his first transfer. He'll be the senior companion and he'll be living close to the mission office. Because of the location of their apartment, I guess the mission president stops by to study with the missionaries. William feels a bit of pressure...I think it will be great for him. So, as I type he is most likely on a bus headed for Barranquilla. I think it is about a 2+ hour ride. Fun adventures await, no doubt. He was a little bummed because they have an upcoming baptism that he'll miss. Such is mission life.
I have a very good friend that served in Barranquilla (albeit 12 years ago). He said the area was awesome...people were wonderful...the hardest part was resisting the allure of the turquoise blue Caribbean waters that just BEGGED to be swam in. Make sure he takes lots of pictures!!
ReplyDeleteSuper de duper I forwarded the pic to Tyrell hope that he can look at them. What is that thing that the Elder Casper is standing by?
