It is so amazing to be able to get emails from Jeff that come from him just hours ago. I'm sure families and friends all over the world feel the same way. It helps alleviate some of the feelings of separation. Jeff sure seems to be doing great. In this last letter he shared some feelings of possible disapointment at not getting transfered to a different area. He has been in his first area for almost 4 months now.
Well, another change has come and gone and....I'm still in the same sector, haha. E'Salinas is gone though, he got the asignment to be a traveling assistant. We got the call yesterday at 4:00 and had to be ready by 7:00 (meaning everything for him all packed) So that was interesting. Then the assistants came and picked me and him up and brought us to a town called Talagante. There they dropped me of and picked up another (the other new assistant). So, right now I am in Talagante with Elder Cloward from California, he is a zone leader here. Hes really cool. I'm only with him though untill tomorrow in the morning, then we'll go to Santiago for changes and receive our new companions. Then I'll go back to my sector and he'll go back to his. So next week I'll be able to tell you who my new companion is.
But things are good here. I'm not gonna lie, I was kinda hoping to be transferred, but its the Lords will not ours. This sector is tough to be in for so long, but I know as long as I rely on the Lord that I will be able to do what he needs me to. I learned a lot from Elder Salinas, he was a good man and friend. My spanish got so much better, its weird to be talking in english with elder Cloward.
I had run into some friends from the Anoka ward while out running errands. Jeff had been good friends with Chase Eyler, whose family moved to CA then to PA.
You saw the Elyers!!!!? Whoa, thats so cool, and in a store of all places. I miss Chase, he's a great friend. Hes planning on going on a mission?? Awesome! That'll be good for him and I know he'll be a great missionary, tell him hi for me please and tell him that missions are a blast.
This was a pretty short letter from Jeff this time, and no pictures.We are already looking forward to talking to him on the phone at Christmas.
Well, thats whats been happening here, a little different than what was expected but I think it was a change for the best. Thanks for everything and hope you have a great week! You're in my prayers!
Con mucho amor,
Elder DeLong
