Salinopólis 5

This week was lots of fun.  We worked hard again.  This week was my birthday and people ended up throwing a surprise party for me so that was fun.  They played the national anthem and some hymns and brought cake so that was fun.  My birthday was pretty cool, I was very grateful, and I got a custom t-shirt with everybody's name on the back to remember everyone.
This week was the temple dedication of the Forteleza temple in Brazil so we were going to watch that this Sunday, but the internet didn't work and it ended up being a regular sacrament meeting, but there weren't any visitors because everyone was planning on the temple dedication. 
However I ended up getting transferred to a new area which was sad.  I loved the area of Salinas, everyone there is super cool and it's a really awesome city.  However now I am in 40 Horas, closer to Belém, which is fun.  The past Elders here gave us lots of work to do and people to baptize so that is fun.  I am excited to work here and to meet new people!
Love,
Elder Holcomb

[Isaac seemed slightly reluctant to let us know he's being transferred so soon because he is becoming a zone leader.  Zone leader is basically someone who will be leading and training a larger group of missionaries.]
