Hey guess what! I am leaving. I got transferred today... or better yet, I got the transfer call today, and I move on wednesday early in the morning. I am pretty excited because I have been here since before Christmas and I have pretty much gotten out of this area what the Lord wants me to...I think so anyways. I feel like I have been able to help the people that I have met and we are just starting to get this ward going.... It will be interesting to see what happens in Villa del Parque over the next couple of years. The elder that is coming is getting some nice free baptisms seeing as how we will have 3 this Sunday, and two the week after that. Its cool though. I am only going about an hour away, to Maipu (like my-poo.... I was NOT the first one to think that was funny and start making jokes. Thought you should know:) Anyhoo... today I don´t have a tone of time, but I just wanted to let you know that I got transferred and that I am getting a new comp who came with Elder Dowdle, so I will see how this it is. I bet it will be very different.
So how are you doing? It sounds like it will be pretty hard to leave in a couple weeks. I don´t even want to imagine what that is like.. I don´t want to leave. I love it here and I know that these 2 years are so special and they do not come back, regardless of how much I want them to... I know its important to live it up every moment that we can. I have gotten to know so much better, exactly what that SHOULD mean. I know mortality is such a privilige and with it, we have the opportunity to learn and grow and become the spiritual giants our Heavenly Father wants us to become.
So I love how people here say, "Elder so and so is MY elder." They say that about who baptized them. I have seen people smoking and just a little tipsy be touched as they remember the missionary that taught them the Good News of the Gospel. It really is an amazing work. I am amazed at the types of relationships that are formed in the mission field. I am so grateful for them. I have been thinking a little bit about the missionary work that must have gone on in the pre-earth life. We apparently had the ability to choose who to follow, so I imagine we had to be given a spiritual witness of the truth of the Plan of Happiness to know it was the right one... I often wonder who was responsable for my soul... Maybe its not like that, but I would like to know who I heard the Spirit testify through if it is like that. Anyways, just some thoughts I was thinking :)
I am so happy with your decision to selflessly serve those children in Ecuador. Yo me he enamorado contigo y hace mucho tiempo que se que tu eres la tesora celestial mía. Espero que estés bien y que no te haga falta. Te amo para siempre
