OHHHHHH MY GOSH SO MUCH ANXIETY.
Yes.
We had transfers.
I'm staying.
My companion left today
And.....
I'M TRAINING.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh breathe in out in out.
So
yeah basically I'm freaking out!! hahaha. so many feeeels!!! I couldn't
even sleep the night after President called me. I was just feeling this
terrible mixture of anxiety and inadequacy ha..... and my companion and
roommates woke up in the middle of the night to comfort me. (they are
the best ever ohhh i love them). So they talked to me for a little and I
felt better. :) Hna. Escobar gave me her teddy bear to sleep with
hahaha she is so precious. But yeah I just kept thinking... I'm too
young to have a daughter! haha. But then the other side of the emotions
started coming and now I'm super excited to meet her. :) I made her a
cute cover for her agenda and I already love her--whoever she is. Just
hoping I'll be able to help her adjust to mission life and help her
understand what it means to be a missionary. Still trying to figure that
out myself haha, so we'll learn together. :)
But
yeah it's been a pretty emotional weekend all around. My companion was
in this sector for over a year.... a lot of people in the ward cried
with her this weekend. A family offered us lunch and we got to make some
good memories with them for our last meal together. And our recent
converts had a barbeque for us that same night where we made some more
good memories. Ohhhhh I'm gonna miss her. Along with todo el mundo. But
the Lord needs her elsewhere and that's super exciting. I'm excited to
hear about her stories in her new area.
So
yeah! That's what all my focus is on right now haha. We're still working
with Jorge. My companion is bummed that she didn't get to see him be
baptized, but I'm gonna keep visiting him and praying for miracles.
Ana is still awesome and progressing. Just praying that she can open her heart to the spirit, recognize it, and follow it.
Right
now I think my biggest goal is to get a better understanding of the
scriptures. I've already learned a ton about them here on the mission
compared to how I studied (or not studied) them before. But yeah that
was the biggest advice that President gave us at the meeting for
trainers. He said a big part of becoming autosufficient is finding your
own solutions to your problems in the scriptures. And it's true! So
that's my goal.
So weird that it's almost
Christmas! Especially because it's blazing hot here. Ha. I'm getting the
weirdest tan lines on my feet.
Well I love you guys. :) You're in my prayers constantly and I hope you can feel it!
XOXO
