I´m in my new area and I´m loving it! It was sad to say goodbye
to everyone in Concórdia, but it´s nice to move on.
On Tuesday night I had to go to the bus station to catch my
bus at 9:45 pm. We took a taxi from the apartment and when we got there, I went
to pay with my card but the driver said that they don´t accept cards. I didn´t
have any cash and I just looked at my companion with so much hope. But he only
had $6 and it was $15. I thought the guy was going to be a good guy and let it
slide or let my comp come back and pay the rest the next day, but nope. He
decided to make a show and started yelling and it was great. We called Bishop
but he couldn´t come in the moment and the driver was demanding the money in
that moment or he would call the cops. I know the cops wouldn´t have done
anything, but I had to catch my bus and didn´t have time to deal with mad taxi
drivers and cops over $9, so I turned and walked up to an older lady and told
her my situation. Without any hesitation she gave me $10. What a blessing! I´m
so grateful that some people in this world are good!! haha.
Then when I got to the bus station in my new area at 2 am
there was supposed to be some Elders waiting for me... but nope. Haha I just got
off of the bus and walked around the bus station by myself but they weren´t
there. I tried using the payphone to call the Area Pres but nobody answered. Then
this guy came up to me and asked if I was a missionary. He told me he was the
ward mission leader of my new area!! What in the world was he doing at the bus
station at 2am?? Haha he had offered a neighbor of his a ride to
the bust station. So I was able to use his phone to call the elders in my area
to come get me. When I called they were sleeping hahaha. If he hadn´t been
there I would´ve ended up sleeping at the bus station!
I know that Heavenly Father looks out for his missionaries
and I could really feel His love.
I am loving the area. This ward hasn´t had a baptism for
over a year but Elder Almeida and I are going to work. He has a year and 5
months in the mission, so we know what we are doing. We get along super well and I
am so excited for this transfer. The ward is also super hyped to help in the
work and grow the ward, so it´s going to be great. I´ll let you guys know more
next week!
Love you all!!
Elder Scheer
