Transfer to San Francisco!

I have been transferred from La Rioja! There were a lot of tough times there but also a lot of good times, I'm really really going to miss the converts and investigators that I have spent a lot of time with over the past 4 1/2 months. I never thought it would be hard saying goodbye to an area in the mission, but it was! The people made it hard by crying a lot and giving gifts and coming to see me off at the bus terminal at midnight. Its crazy how fast we can become such good friends with people especially when Im only just beginning to speak the language well haha! But it was a good time and I hope I can come back to La Rioja and visit one day. 

So I stayed up till 3 Am packing on saturday night, and sunday went around saying goodbye to everyone, took the bus at midnight, arrived in cordoba at 6 am, waited there 2 hrs and then took another 2 hr bus ride to san francisco. So im pretty tired and I miss sleeping in my bed. Sleeping in a bus sucks. My new area is kind of out in the middle of nowhere, with a bunch of open fields. It reminds me a lot of South Dakota. My new companion is a gringo from Texas, he seems like a good comp so far but im scared that we are going to talk too much english!

I have no money left for the month, we spent it all on taxis to drive people to church. We are seriously always poor. 

We celebrated fathers day yesterday, it was nice in the ward because people made cookies and stuff. On thursday we had an activity to make banana bread for fathers day, but the sister who invited us didn't follow our directions and it turned out really bad, so we had to make an extra one hahah.

Im already out of time, I have a lot more to say but no time to say it!

I love you all, I hope all is well.
