Hey Everybody! So, This week I got a cold. It kinda stinks, but oh well. The Elders gave me a blessing and some vitamin C yesterday so that I can get better. Last Tuesday at about 9:40 they called and told us the transfers, and Hermana Horton headed for Cabrero on Saturday. I’m still here in Arauco, but I’m with a new comp who’s name is Hermana Judkins. She’s from Oregon and she’s the 8th of 9 children. The younger brother is actually her twin, but she came out first. š She’s really energetic and a great missionary even though she’s only got 7 months in the mission. This transfer should be a lot of fun. Today we cleaned a little deeper and we don’t have as much time to write, but I’ll add some photos to the drive folder for you guys to see.
I’ve learned a little bit about humility in the last little bit. So this is my second to last transfer and in this mission pretty much everybody sees training or being a leader as a great honor and an amazing opportunity to learn more. As you know I haven’t done either. I was really hoping that maybe I would for my last 2 transfers, but it seems that God has another plan, and I worked really hard to feel at peace about it. Finally it seems that God has blessed me with the inner peace that I was looking for. Tuesday arrived and I knew it wasn’t going to happen, but I didn’t feel disappointed, in fact, I think it was the first time in a while that I didn’t cry because I was disappointed about the transfers, I just knew that I would get put with the companion that God needed me to be with to accomplish what he needed me to accomplish. Now, I’m here with Hermana Judkins and I’m excited to go crazy and help the Chileans here in Arauco come closer to Christ and get baptized! Sometimes it’s not easy to accept God’s will but in the end what he wants is the best and happiest thing for us.
