Hey everyone!
Just finished week one
in my new area--Cristobal Colon. I loooooove the area. Seriously so
beautiful. Trees, green, the sweetest apartment buildings ever, and
really nice people. It feels like a completely different world haha. My
new companion is Hermana Vega from Peru! So far I've had 2 Peruvian
companions (Hna. Gil and Hna. Vega), 1 from Guatamala (Hna. Garcia), and
1 from California (Hna. Andersen). Just in case you wanted an update
haha. And this is my second area. We'll see if I finish my mission here
since I was in my first area for 11 months! haha. We'll see. I'd be
happy with that.
So miracles.
Literally
such an awesome sector. 2 weeks ago, Hna. Vega and her other companion
(before I got here) were walking down the street and met Evenlyn. They
just randomly said hi to her and then she stopped to talk to them. Turns
out she was a less active member and wanted to know where the church
was. So they gave her the address, got her contact info, and made an
appointment. She came back to church that Sunday for the first time in
about 15 years. Then I got here and we had a lesson with her and her
husband Jaime, who is Catholic. We talked about the temple and eternal
marriage and my heart was literally about to melt off my chest when
Evelyn testified to Jaime about how she wanted to be with him forever
and how grateful she was to have met the sisters. He's been totally
supportive to her about getting reactivated but has been kind of closed
off himself. Until the other day when she told us that a friend had
asked him if he was going to join the church and he said "ya never
know." Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh they are so incredible. Her example is so
inspiring to me.... coming back to the church after 15 years of no
contact whatsoever. Her faith is so strong.
So
yeah! It's been a great week despite the fact that I feel like I just
started my mission over again haha. It's okay though. Growing pains.
Change is good. I can't let myself think about Ñuñoa too much though or
my heart starts to hurt haha. I had to leave behind a lot of people I
love and a lot of progressing investigators who I still think about and
pray for constantly.... But Hna. Andersen and her new companion are
AWESOME and I'm excited to hear about the miracles they're gonna see. :)
Love you guys so so much!!!
