Transfer day, without the transfer part

Elder Allen called us today to let us know that his Pday was filled with eight hours of riding the bus to Porto Alegre, an hour and a half in the city, and then eight hours riding back in the same day. Apparently someone had forgotten to have him sign a paper that was necessary for his visa and they thought it would take much longer than it did. So he unexpectedly headed back to Rio Grande on the same day that he left. He thought it was such a funny story and always seems to find the good in crazy situations.

Otherwise, all is going well. Transfers were yesterday and Elder Allen stayed in Rio Grande and kept his same companion, Elder Freitas, who he absolutely loves, so that was happy news. He also kept the same companionship as his roommates and was grateful for that, as the four of them get along very well and all of them like to work hard. I was so thankful for such good news on transfer day.

Thanks for praying for this missionary son of ours. We are so grateful! He can feel your prayers, sends his love and hopes you are all doing well.
