So transfers happened! and for the first time in a while, there were actually transfers that happened to Elder Bingham! I came back to Santa Cruz, and things could not be more different from my time in Riberalta. I came to the zone Equipetrol, which is closer to the center of the city and famous for being one of the richer zones in the mission. I'm in the area Belen (Bethlehem in spanish), and my companion is Elder Carbajal. My third Peruvian in a row. But he's super cool. He's 23, and has a little over a year in the mission. Also he's a solid DL and missionary, and a really funny guy. I'm happy to be with him. But I am also completely lost in the city.
Like this area is way too wealthy. All of the streets are paved, and like over half of the houses have at least one air conditioning unit. The bigger houses have air conditioning in like every room. Some of the wards we walk through are just filled with giant super nice two or three story houses, but we tend to proselyte more in the slightly poorer areas, surprise surprise. the people are a little more humble in those areas. But our area is also HUGE. like triple or quadruple the size of my old area. I am so lost. But I'm slowly figuring it out. We have a few solid investigators and really awesome members, including two returned missionaries who served in Argentina with Bryce! Small world. But I honestly can't remember their names. but I'm excited for the new experiences and challenges that will come in my new first world area. Wish me luck, I'm completely lost here.

hopefully I can get some pics sent in next week, I kind of forgot to take pictures this week
PS: So this weekend, (saturday, sunday, monday and tuesday) Carnaval is happening, which means we will be closed in our houses for the whole time. I think that means we might not get to email next monday. I'm not sure. It's going to suck. But talk to you guys in two weeks!
