The time has finally come in my mission for changes. As of
right now, I do not know where I will be headed but I will find out at about
noon tomorrow. I am a little excited, nervous, and sad. I have really grown to
love my area, the members, and all of the people here. It will be hard to leave
them but the good thing is that I can always come back in the future to visit
them.
This week was pretty good and I had the opportunity to work
a little bit out of my area. We had divisions and it was my turn to finally
leave my area. I didn't really want to but I think it helped me a lot to
prepare to change areas. When I first got there I was really shy and I didn't
really know what to do. But then later in the day I really opened up and worked
like usual. Being in a different house was weird but I slept well. At least
know I know that I will be okay in another area.
When I came back to San Juan, it felt like returning home. It
really is like my home to me and I love being here and everything about it.
Our newest convert had her interview that day and we also helped another member
who was suffering with depression. I love being able to help people in whatever
situation they are in. Our Heavenly Father has so much love for His children.
Thursday was a day of new investigators. I am really happy
that there continue to be a lot of poeple ready for the gospel in San Juan. I
may not be there anymore after today but the Lord's work will continue and I
will just be working in another area. To end our day, we taught a member's son.
He is eight but his mom wants him to have the misisonary lessons before he is
baptized. I really love teaching kids the gospel. They are so innocent and have
so much faith.
Friday, we taught a part-member family. They are the first
family I visited here on my misison and in San Juan. They will also be my last
as we have plans to teach them tonight.
Saturday, we had to go to the dentist because my companion
lost a filling. I love the dentist so I was excited to go and I even got my
teeth cleaned. It was fun as well to know more of the city as we had to figure
out how to get there. There is so much to see. After that early morning we went
again to San Raymundo and visited some members and recent converts. I love
being with everyone here.
Yesterday, we had another baptism. It was with Fernanda, and
her mom even came which is great. She really liked church and so I am sure we
will see her back there again many times. The baptism was after the reunions so
my companion and I got there an hour early to fill the font. President wasn't
there though so we didn't have the keys to the font. I solved that problem
though and climbed over the glass and into the font to open the door and fill
the font. There were men there but they were afraid so it is good I was able to
do it.
It was also testimony meeting and I was able to bear my
testimony. Thinkng I was going to leave, I thanked the ward for everything and
they all started to cry. It is hard to leave people you have grown so close to.
Then for the rest of the day we did service. How I love service! Well, that was
basically it. I hope you all have a great week and know that you are loved.
Thank you for the love and support you give me.
