Transferring To English

The hardest part of a mission is NOT getting doors slammed on your face or walking all day or having a tough companion. It's when you grow to love people so much and then you have to say goodbye. This week we got transfer calls and I will be leaving Temecula. I got called as a Sister Training Leader which basically means that now I have a 3rd of the sisters in the mission under my stewardship. I will go on exchanges with all of them once a transfer and serve them as much as I can to help them succeed. But that also means I will be going to english work. I'm sure you can all imagine how I feel about that. I'm devastated. I have grown to love the hispanic culture so much and I am really scared that I will lose my spanish. I know the Lord will help me but it will be different for sure. I have been transferred to the Young Single Adult ward in Del Mar. It's right on the beach so i guess that's a plus. But I have never worked with YSA so that will be super weird at first. 

 

 

Well anyway, we had a couple lessons with Lorena this last week. She is going to get baptized soon and I will be able to come back for her baptism so I am really excited for that. She is soooo ready and wants to be baptized so bad. Jeremy is another investigator and he is getting baptized in April too! So I will be able to come back for his baptism as well! 

 

 

This week I had a training meeting in Vista to become STL and after my companion bought us quesadillas de carne asada because I was pretty bummed out haha. I'm okay now though I just needed a few days to accept that this is where the Lord needs me. 

 

 

Yesterday was my last Sunday in the La Paz ward. I was asked to bear my testimony and I cried. Everyone kept coming up to us asking if they could feed us dinner or make us breakfast or if we could stop by for dessert. Anything just to get us over before I left haha. It was pretty cute but now we have a super full schedule. 

 

 

Well that's all for this week haha. Love you all, pray for me please.
