The birthday was great. We had an activity on friday night and turns out they planned a surprise celebration for me, that I already knew about, but I acted surprised for them. It was really nice and they brought all sorts of cake and goodies. They sang Parabens (literally congratulations, but it's their birthday song). I do feel old. I don't like this 20 thing. The years of wanting to be older have already come and gone for me. Oh well.

Well big news, I got transferred, tomorrow I'm going to The Mauá Zone. I don't remember what area, and my companion will be Elder Kolb. I only know a little about him, he was at BYU the same time as me, but I haven't ever really talked to him. I hope he is a cool guy. We'll see. Also Elder Perrell is getting transferred, which is a huge bummer because it means two new elders here who won't know the area or our investigators. I'm really worried about some people, but hey, you got to have faith in President right? I know it's all for a good purpose. 

I think I might know that Elder Brown. He is from Salt Lake too. That's awesome. I'll see if he knows anyone up in Canada. 

And yes I remember my Baptism date, strangely a lot of people don't remember. Seems like it would be something significant. But I'm really excited for the dedication. Also awesome news, yesterday was Stake Conference and we watched a transmission from Salt Lake, and President Monson, Elder Anderson, Sister Dalton, and President Gonzalez, all spoke to us. It was really great. And a surprise. A good one of course. 

And I'll be sure not to scratch any bug bites. Has that sickness made it to Brazil too? Because São Paulo is a pretty highly populated and advanced area. But oh well. 

Well that's all that has really been going on for me. I'm sure next week I'll have more to say about the new area. Até semana que vem.
