October 24, 2016

Hello Friends and Family,

This week was filled with mixed emotions, but a very fun and exciting week. This week, I had a work change with Elder Valdez from Cochabamba, Bolivia. It was really fun to teach with him for a day and I learned so much. This week, we also had interviews with President Williams. I was able to ask him lots of questions I have had on my mind about our area of Demetrio Acosta. We talked for a long time and it was an uplifting experience. President Williams gave me the strict order to find a new room because our old room only got water at certain times each day. This week was spent using my mom's real estate skills looking for a new room. When the people see a gringo trying to rent a room here everybody starts to clean the spare room in their homes so we can rent it haha.  We looked hard and long and were finally able to find an amazing room that has a water tank, so it gets water all day long. This week is changes and Elder Salas and I both have changes. That was hard to take because I love this area so much and we have so many good Investigators. Our entire p-day was spent taking pictures and saying "chow" to everyone. The Zone leaders are going to move here to our area in the new room that I was never able to live in! haha. I'm not complaining, I promise. Hermanas will be moving into the old area of the zone leaders. My companion is going to Reque in La Victoria. I will be moving to CHACHAPOYAS!!! I am just a little excited. Chachapoyas is the coolest area in our mission. Its nine hours away from our mission home, up in the mountains and jungle area.  Leaving to Chacha is helping me take the sting away from leaving Demetrio. On the bright side, I know the zone leaders will do an amazing job with all of our investigators. I'm so excited to see something green and experience a new culture in Chacha. I leave tomorrow morning at eight and I will be traveling all day. My mind is running around in circles. I'm looking forward to starting a new chapter here in the mission field.

Love,

Elder Goold
