Hna. Peña finished her mission yesterday and she’ll be returning home tomorrow. 🙁 It makes me a little sad and a little trunky, but as they say in “Meet the Robinsons” Keep moving forward. As you can see from the title this week we have cambios and they called us Saturday night after we returned home from the baptism. We knew that Hna. Peña was finishing her mission so it was pretty obvious that I would be staying in Santa Juana, or at least that’s what we thought, but then they told us that I’ll be changing sectors as the senior companion in Tolhuaca. I leave tomorrow and my new companion is a gringa from Saratoga Springs her name is Hna. Fritcher, she has 1 less cambio than me. I cried a little bit (a lot a bit) on Sunday when I had to bear my testimony and say goodbye to everybody.
Everybody was really surprised cuz they knew Hna. Peña was leaving and automatically thought that I would be staying so when I told them that I was leaving too a lot of people were like, Why didn’t you tell us sooner? 🙁 It’s a little rough especially because Harold really wants to get baptized now but me and Hna. Peña won’t be here to teach him. We decided to hand their family over to the other hermanas in Santa Juana 2 (Anderson and Steed) because they already know each other and are a little more comfortable with that than with having new hermanas they don’t know. They have a special name for this when both hermanas from a sector leave and 2 new ones come, it’s called a whitewash. The newbies for Santa Juana will be Hna. Dávila from Ecuador and one of the 20 new greenies who are coming to the mission tomorrow. It’s a little crazy. Tomorrow I’ll be traveling about 4 hours south by bus to my new sector. Today I have to make up notes and leave information for the new hermanas so they know a little better what they need to do here, oh and pack my bags. It’s a little rough cuz I’ve been making up my room to look really pretty and be more comfortable, but now I’ve gotta pack it all up and start over, but it’s all good cuz that’s part of the mission and I know that God needs me in Tolhuaca now. 🙂
