They're

never been so excited! Congrats!!!
GUUYYSS!!
Im
out of Yacuiba. And I'm sooo sad about it. I was so excited to have another
transfer with Hermana Villanueva and with all of my people down in Yacuiba.
We
were expecting to receive the call for transfers on Wednesday night, like
always… and Tuesday night, the Asistente (assistant) calls Hermana Eden's phone, and she
puts it on speaker and Elder Gallego says
"Me
pasa con la Hermana Villanueva?" ("Can I speak to Hermana Villanueva?")
And
we all run into the room and listen and Hna. Villanueva's like "hola?"
And
Elder Gallego "Hna. Usted va a entrenar. Tiene que estar en el airepuerto
mañana a las 3. Ya?" ("Sister, You will be training, You need to be at the airport tomorrow at 3:00, ok?")
We
were in shock! Ugh. Terrible. But the good part was that, for the first time, I
knew I was the one leaving. So I had my Wednesday to go and say goodbye to all
of the people I'd grown to love so much. Hermana Villanueva was the hardest to
say bye to.
Tuesday
night, we got on our knees to pray, and she just starts crying so hard and says
"Usted
es como mi Hermana…" ("You are like a Sister to me...")
And
we cried. Because that's what transfers are, everyone just freaking cries
because honestly, i don't know when the next time I see these people will be.
La Familia Alvarez... this was the hardest family to leave. He was the one that you got the picture of him making hamburgers. I'll miss them
a lot. Hugo, the dad, cried lots. haha, he is so sweet, really. it was really
nice. lots of tears were shed on Wednesday.
This is Florinda, the deaf girl I was teaching. We ended up being really close, she was sad because I always helped her at church to understand everything. Hopefully she keeps going... ugh. kills me
WHEN HNA VILLANUEVA AND I GOT LOCKED IN OUR STUDY ROOM... IT
WAS TERRIBLE.
But
Here I am! In Santa Cruz, a Neighborhood called Guaracachi, the Stake La Pampa.
My companion is from Nicaragua and her name is Hermana Duran. She's "nuevita",("new") with 5 months on the mission, so hopefully I can help her out.
Her
and her old companion opened this área. And honestly… there isn't much. There's
lots of work to do here. There aren't many investigators, but there are lots of
less actives.
i'm here!! my companion is from NICARAGUA!!! she reminds me
so much of Celia already ahahha it's so funny. her name is Hna. Duran and she ha
5 months on the mission. the area is like... empty. because they just opened
it. but im gonna try really hard this transfer to find people to teach here.
its cool being around other misionaries. in yacuiba there were only 10 of us.
here there are like.... 30 haha
I
thought the change would be so hard for me again… but i think I've realized
something. Every transfer, I am so mad about every change. I never want to
leave my área. But every área that I've left… there was a time that i didn't want
to be there. Does that make sense? God really does know what's best. And I know
that I'm going to fall in love with different things in every área… so this
área, I've decided to have an open mind and an open heart from the beginning. I'm
not going to waste time missing my other área. Because I know that at some
point, the La Pampa stake is going to have a very special place in my heart.
The
city life… is different. Its so … HOT here. I haven't seen the sun since
February and now I'm sweating again. Crazy! It's great meeting other
missionaries. When I got to our zone meeting yesterday… I looked around like..
crap. I don't know anyone.
And
then from behind me I hear..
"You
just can´t stop following me, can ya?"
ELDER
GALLAGHER.
So
good to see him after such a long time. Nice to have a familiar face in my
zone. He was in Yacuiba before me, so we talked about Yacuiba for a good long
time. It was good to see him.
It's
definitely different. The área is huge. But the people are very welcoming. I
think I'm going to like it here.. smiley face... ( this computer doesn't let me
do it haha)
Thanks
for all the support, and NO MOM.. I haven't gotten packages yet haha
