All of Belen mourns for me

So transfers happened. But the weird part is that transfers didn't happen for Elder Bingham! I am staying here in Belén for a SIXTH transfer. It's nuts. I also got a new comp. Elder Buhler got sent to be ZL in another zone and my new comp is Elder Kam! He's from Idaho. He's a nice guy. We get along.

I have now been serving in Belen for 7 months, And I'll finish off with a little over 8 months here. Hopefully. I'm not sure if I could survive a seventh transfer here. All the members are either roasting me or feeling bad for me for staying in this area for so long. To be honest, it's really stressing me out. But with faith and hope I can make it through anything. I'll try to give you an idea of how it feels to be in an area for 6 transfers.

I've been here so long that I can be basically sleeping in whichever bus route and know almost exactly where to get off just by feeling the turns.

I've been here long enough to read the entire Book of Mormon cover to cover. And i'm in the middle of 2 nephi starting over again.

I've been here so long that I don't even have to look up at the podium during sacrament meeting to tell who's giving their testimony, I just recognize everyone's voice.

I've been here long enough for every area in the zone to get a completely new companionship. Twice. And I've had 5 companions

I'm sure there's some other examples but I'm too lazy to think them up right now. I hope those made you laugh at least.

Follow up from mom's inquiry about the knees: 

Oh did dad not tell you about that? a couple weeks ago my knee started hurting when we were playing basketball so we decided to go get it checked out. My right knee pops every time I straighten it and sometimes it hurts when we walk a lot. Which is most days lets be honest. Got an x-ray and according to the doc my knee caps are slightly off center or something. nothing serious. he ordered me some physical therapy. I went once on Friday but it was really lame to be honest. they showed my some exercises to do but I've tried those and they feel useless. I was supposed to go back this morning but I kind of forgot about it. Oh well.

But I'll be fine don't worry. It's not bad. I've just got weak knees

me and E' Sauceda got giant plates of pique macho together last monday after our date to the hospital
for my knee and his leg.

me and Elder Kam!

don't think this needs explanation
