hay cambios!! Im heading off to the city of Sincelejo in the deparment of Sucre. Its a districto and my compi here was there before and he is telling me it is the promised land. Its in the savannah of the coast so its really flat and its about an hour from the ocean. its going to be a little hotter because there wont be so much breeze but my compi tells me that there are TONS of fruit and they are all real cheap, you can buy a watermelon (yes we have fresh watermelon in december) for about a dollar.. so ill be drinking fresh watermelon juice alot ... enjoy your postum dad hahaha. Ill miss Cartagena a bit but not deathly. Its pretty and all in some parts but really ill just tell you now that im leaving that is the most dangerous city in Colombia at this point. So many robberies and jumpings everyday its not fun. About once a week i had to deal with something happing to the missionaries, people breaking into the houses, them getting robbed, and other things. I havent got robbed so dont worry im fine leaving here but im relieved that im getting out of here in one piece. Just a lot of stress being LZ here, but Sincelejo is more country and so maybe being LZ there ill be able to focus on the spiritual part of the misionareis and not just their lives. And dont worry im getting sent in PLANE to sincelejo, not because its really far, but because there is a fun mountain range in the middle where people who dont share the christmas cheer and wear camo live.
so i hope you have sensed my feelings of relief and happienss. i have learned alot here in Cartagena and ill always remeber it. When we come back it will be safe because none of the stuff im talking about happens in the tourist parts, just where we work! the mission is a GREAT experience to learn how to sacrifice and trust in the blessings that are coming.
Love you all,
Elder Larson
