Yesterday, I finally had the ´new missionary orientation´. It went well! We had a great meeting, and I got to feel pretty experienced for having been there 3 weeks already. (Heh, heh.) Later, about 100 more missionaries showed up for transfers. It was fun! We sat down, and after having an inspirational conference sort of meeting, they announced the new companionships/transfers. There was a projecter that would show the name of the area and the face of the missionary that was serving there. Then, with a commentary from one of the Assistants, the face of his new companion would fade in. Every so often, the picture that appeared would be Captain Moroni waving the Title of Liberty. That meant that the missionary would be training a ´resfuerzo´ (reinforcement). There was lots of cheering and lots of clapping. It was pretty fun!

Other news ...
We´re getting roommates! President Carter has decided to put two more missionaries in Luján. (That doesn´t happen very often at all.) This means that the Lord has plans for Luján. With twice the missionaries, and with the ward members starting to trust the missionaries and get excited about the work, the work here is going to accelerate! We´re so excited. The only thing is... I don´t want to give up any of the investigators we´re teaching now when we divide the area!! We´ll just have to divide it very... creatively. Let´s see, I learned the word for that in my Government class a few years ago. But I can´t remember it.
[Gerrymandering - thanks Ken!] Ah well. Yep! Super excited. And one of them is a newbie like me.
