Big Change!

So wanna know something that was pretty much the craziest thing that has happened to me so far on the mission!? Well on thursday night we are getting all of the numbers together and also we are finishing up our planning for the next day. Well all of a sudden we get a call, and as a joke I always say ¨Zone Leaders¨ haha because they used to call us all of the time. Well Elder Demann went over to answer it looked at the name and as he looked at it his face went white. He looked at me and was like, ¨Its the president¨. I was like what the crap?! What did we do now??? haha Well he answers it and starts talking to president and gets through about a minute of small talk when(oh and I am close listening to everything by the way) he says, ¨Elder, I am moving your comp.¨ Well big surprise to freaking me! I was like what the crap!?!?!?!? It was an emergency transfer. I dont know why the heck he chose me to go, but I had to get all of my stuff ready and leave on saturday. It was thursday night. haha So that next day we worked half of the day and the said good bye the other half. haha Oh and saturday, I waited untill we finished with the baptism that we had and then after that I went to my new sector called. Chiguayante. It is a really good sector. The ward I am in is like a ward in the states. It is presidents favorite ward. It is really nice. haha They are really strong and do not depend on  the missionaries to do all of the work. It was nuts the first real day here was on sunday. It rained all day! Crappy. When I got to the church the ward mission leader came up to me and was like elder brown listen. The image of the missionaries is a very big deal here. Everyone is watching you so you need to go up to each one of the main counselors and leaders and greet them by name and introduce yourself. It was interesting because he walked me to each of them giving commentary of who they were and the low down on them the whole way over. It was alot to take in at once. The reason I am here is because the missionaries who were here before all got sick and they had to go home early. Or they are ending their missions. Like the comp I have now, Elder Thomas ends his mission next tuesday. haha so I am here this week early mainly to learn the area so when I get my new comp I know what I am doing, I know the members and the bishop and we can just get right to work. Yeah it is going to be really interesting haha I was really shocked that president sent me here. I figure that there are 2 reasons that are or could logically be correct. 1, He really trusts me and knows that I can have success here and so he is putting me here to get things going again. Or 2, He knows that this ward is so good that he can put crappy missionaries here and they will not kill it. haha So he put me here as a last result because he had no where else to put me. haha I hope that it is option 1. So yeah right now I am killing a missionary. That means that I am his last comp and then I will be pretty much be opening a sector again. Because before the missionaries didnt really work because they had all been really sick. 4 Missionaries will have ended their missions here in the past 6 weeks next week haha. Crazy huh. So yeah that is how things are going here. As you can see I am writing really late. This is because we went to chillan. It is about 2 hours away from where we live. At least. So we were there saying goodbye to all of elder Thomas´ converts. haha Yeah we got back and sprinted to write pres before 6:00. Now we are just getting time to write you guys. My comp is really trunky. It is funny because I am having to animate him to do things. well that is all the time I have for this week sorry so short and crappy. Enjoy your trip! :) I LOVE YOU ALL!! Oh and I dont need to talk to pres about the zone leaders anymore because they are not my zone leaders anymore hahaha oh that is just to bad... ;( haha Thanks for everything. Love.

Love,
Elder Brown
