Well folks, it´s that time of the week again. Yup, you guessed it: LETTER TIME!

Okay so this week was basically a rollercoaster ride. Some of the ups: Cruz and her kids, Alejandro and Amalia, are preparing to get baptized in September. German (another investigator) has started coming to the Book of Mormon class on Wednesday nights. Santa Fe and Las Colinas will finally be changing houses soon. We have been having some amazing object lessons and family home evenings with the members and investigators. Some of the downs would be that... Catalina didn´t come to church on Sunday, we will have to move her baptism back. And.... IM LEAVING!

Yup, I´m going back to the capital(ish). The Lord has called me to serve in Sabana Perdida, which FYI directly translates to ´lost blanket´. So ya the downs for this week are that I won´t be able to live in the new house, but even worse, I won´t be able to go to any of our baptisms! I´m okay with it though, as long as they get baptized it doesn´t really matter if I am there.

But wait! there is more ups! Quite the roller coaster in deed! It turns out that a change of areas is also a huge up. I love how much a new area makes me really focus on getting to know and helping the people. GREAT NEWS: I get to go look for even newer and better things to learn and people to love and teach. 

The grand opportunity that change brings is just that - change. As our circumstances are alterred, comfort zones left behind and challenges met, it gives us the opportunity to rely even more on the Lord; and let Him change us. That is why I love the mission. I learn more and more every day that the only thing I have to do is be obedient to what the Lord asks, and ´feed his sheep´.

Hope y´all get on lookin for some sheep to feed.
