Take me down to the Paradise City

This week was changes week.  That is when people get transfered and everything. I got transfered to the Zone Paraíso. (That is why my P-day is now on friday). Paraíso is Paradise in Spanish. This change meeting was huge for me. First of all its kind of rare to get changed out of your area after only having one change in the mission. I was wondering where I was going to go and who I was going to be with. When we got to the mission office my Zone Leaders kind of dropping me hints about where I was going because they people had told them. They were really excited. I was getting more and more nervous. When it came around to when the changes started to be announced and the Paraíso Zone was up Elder Anderson and Elder Peru (my Zone leaders) grabbed me and asked if I was ready. I was not ready for what I heard. My name picture came up on the projector for the Paraíso 2 area. My comps were Elder Lopez and Elder Oveson. President Cordón told us to come up to the front. I couldn't believe it. I knew that Elders Lopez and Oveson were Secretaries in the office. When I got up there President basically said, "Everybody here is the new Secretario de Registros (Records Secretary)". Whoa. He then told us that Elder Oveson is going to train me for two weeks then go to another area. So in a matter of a couple seconds I went from having basically no responsiblities to having a ton. I have to keep track of all the numbers of everybody in the whole mission. It's so much resonsibility. I am kind of nervous but also really excited. I am going to learn so much. Also being a secretary definitley has perks. We have a house that is way nicer than the other one, we have cell phones, and we access to basically whatever we need. It's a ton of work though. You get half the time to proselyte as a normal missionary and are still expected to perform above average. I'm pumped for the challenge. Also my comps are awesome, all the people in the office are hard workers and they know a ton.I'll tell you more as I learn more. 
Scripture of the Week: D&C 1:38
  38 What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, myaword shall not pass away, but shall all be bfulfilled, whether by mine own cvoice or by the dvoice of my eservants, it is the fsame
Everyone watch conference. And when you watch it make sure you have questions that you want answered. You will find the answers to them in the conference. I promise. 
Anyways have a good week friends and family. I love you all.
