Week 5 change 2

Greetings from Santa Ana!

Today has been an interesting day, and a long one at that. We woke up at 4 this morning to get ready so we could catch the bus at 5:00, we were out and waiting for the bus and it finally passed at 5:30- oh wait really this day started last night when our zone leaders called and said all of the Hermanas were going to San Salvador for P-day, and that we had to meet president at a certain place in San Salvador at 9. It was cheaper and faster to take the last ´direct´bus to San Salvador (as opposed to one that would take us to Santa Ana, and then we'd take another one to get to a popular bus stop-called the saber- and then another to this place) so we took this bus, and got off in the saber at about 815 and then waited for another and took that to where the elders told us to go, then walked back to where we were meeting the APs(abt 9), and realized two things, 1 that the last bus wasn´t necessary because all the busses passed this point and 2 there were two 'Q' places and that we hoped we were at the right one. We were about to head to the other one when the APs showed up at 930. gee sometimes I wish I had a car(an then I'm glad i don't because I don't want to drive here) We played futbal all of the Hnas in the mission except the 4 in Belice, and then we went to president's home where we ate lunch and president told us which Hnas are going to Belice this next change. Its not me. : ) more time to work on my Spanish, but it is Hna Clark, and Hna Woods is burned out so they asked me to prepare myself to me the next mission health care specialist. (they also call it mission nurse, but you don't have to have a nursing license or even have the education to be the nurse for a while in one of the missions the mission nurse was an elder who had 4 years of med school, but hadn't graduated yet, and in another mission they had one who was a health science major, and had worked in a lab for all of her school. It just means that you are the mediator between the missionaries and the president and the area medical advisor.) They said that Hna Clark will be in charge of Belice, and that we'll split El Salvador for a while while I transition into having the full burden of all of the missionaries here in El Salvador. And that that will start next change. Who knows where I'll be, its possible I'll stay in Candelaria, because the mission office will be in this stake. But I might move into Santa Ana, we'll see in another 2 Sundays.

SO now we're here in Santa Ana again writing, we still haven't bought groceries, but I don't really need any, although I do need to pull out money for the next week. The work is good, although difficult, and every day really is an adventure. We were hoping to have FHE with one of the recent convert families tonight, but it doesn't look like that will happen as it is 5 now and it is an hour to Candelaria and the area where this family lives is one of the areas we don't go after dark.
It is always good to hear from you, and I'm hoping for a response from Jake and Zac any day. (HINT HINT WRITE ME!!!! little brothers!)

Its fun to hear that you are working your way though 2 Ne, thats where I am-in Spanish- you think Isaiah is hard to understand in English.... ;)

Love you all, and you are in my prayers always
