Creed is getting transferred

Transfers,
Well the time of transfers has come and I am being transferred. I am going to some place in the capitol called Simon Boulevard. It should be super interesting. The capitol is the best baptizing area there is but they also have the most missionaries there.

This area will be like capitol capitol, I think which means right in the middle of everything, which will be weird because I have never had an area like that before. I have always had areas that are out on dirt roads and far away from the capitol. But now my last area is in right in the capitol. It’s kind of crazy. I don’t know how I feel about it. I will be with a Dominican which could be cool or it could be less than cool, but I should be able to work a lot on my accent and Spanish so that is way good.

Funny culture thing-- I don’t know if you have ever seen a shirt in an store and thought to yourself who in the world would buy that shirt? Maybe it’s ugly or has some stupid phrase on the front and you can’t imagine who would be dumb enough to buy or wear that. Well the answer to that question would be Dominicans, Yes Dominicans would buy and wear that shirt. I think after no one in the States buys them they donate it and someone here buys it and then the American missionaries get a good laugh out of what their dumb shirt says. I don’t know if I have ever told you that before but it’s pretty funny.

It sounds cold at home and wet. It has been raining here too but now it’s hot and sunny again. My last title for the email is the title of a song here that taught me what volar means so that’s why I put it. Nothing happened last night at that time but the prayers are always a big help no matter what time it is. I don’t need extra money in my account I can do without it and I actually eat stuff I like now and not so much rice so its all good. And I’ll probably be good without the little fan thing but I will be thinking about a few things for my birthday that I may need for the last little bit of the mission I just don’t know what it will be.

I’m pretty sad to leave some of the people we have been teaching and not see them get baptized but I am hoping my next area will be pretty good. I don’t know anything about it though. Oh also I am happy that the world didn’t end on Saturday. I don’t know if that was a big thing there in the States or not but lots of people were saying that the world was going to end on Saturday the 21st. But well we all know the results of that. It was supposedly a Pentecostal church that said that here and I don’t know how they can wiggle their way out of that without people accusing them of being false prophets or a false church. They had it painted all over billboards here and everything. It’s not like they can just say oh just kidding—He’s coming later. Dumb. I don’t know how some churches even have members some of them teach things that are so against what the Bible says. Dumb.

I’m glad Jacob didn’t get eaten by a lion. That would not be cool. Anyways love you all and I hope you have a great week.
