2/22/11 Transfer Day to Granollers

Okay, so I´m in Granollers right now. Address is C/Girona 35, 3, 1, 08402 Granollers. I think I´m always going to have a three or a one in my address...

 

Been a busy couple of days. Packed most of my stuff yesterday, though I waited on the shirts and slacks until this morning. Then I woke up this morning, finished packing the rest of it, and headed off to catch the bus out to the train station...alone. Yeah, they took me to the bus, but I had to go out alone on the bus and then sit in the train station alone. It was fully cleared, but it was weird. You get used to having someone to talk to, and when you don´t have someone, and there´s no phone to send off a text message to someone...it was a little different. Caught the train, where there were four other missionaries all being transferred out of their areas waiting, and we headed into the station. Elder Plaskett and I were both coming to Granollers, so we were together in the train station. About ten or twelve of us were all standing around waiting.

 

There was a big group waiting to head down to Valencia, as most of that area had changes. Since my trainer was in Granollers for his last two transfers, he was the one who showed up at the station to hand over keys, a phone, and a commuter train ticket. Elder Crofts is going home tomorrow...he´s got to be excited. And nervous.

 

So yeah, Elder Plaskett and I were heading to Granollers alone...with all the luggage. Thankfully, we caught the train, rode it out for 45 minutes, and then came out...no welcoming party. We call Elder Keller and say...ah, hello, hay personas esperando...But the piso was close...just down a road, so we walked ourselves.

 

He´s going to be a good companion. Granted, he´s headed for Barcelona right now, and Elder Plaskett and I are alone here in Granollers...

 

Since we´re so close to Barcelona, and we´re in the Barcelona zone, we´re going into Plaza Catalunya to ¨sing for the dead¨, where the missionaries who are going home and anyone else in the area sings. Luckily I know my way around pretty well, so we can get there by ourselves.

 

With the luggage, I took apart all the strap sections to piece together one good one, and then put the big bag and the middle one, so it worked fine.

 

That school schedule doesn´t sound any fun. Sounds just mean...

 

I´m all unpacked now, and I´ll be getting to work tomorrow. I´ll be writing next week. Have a good one.
