And another transfer has come and gone......This transfer I
knew I would be staying here, and was kind of just over all the news and
excitement of who is going where. I guess I am officially the old lady.
The news came, the sad part is that my comp Hna Castaneda is
leaving....but my baby that I trained, Hna Hickman, is going to train in
venado tuerto, where i started!! Also, the Hna Coreas who is here with
me in Esperanza is going to my area in Santa Fe!! It´s a small world
here in the mission.... I am starting my last transfer. Last of
everything. Very bittersweet.
So the week also consisted of the day of cleaning, pulling a car
out of the mud, more rain, zone meeting, lots of teaching and finding,
and everything else. The hardest part of the mision would be seeing
people not fulfill with their commitments, not come to church.....to
know that people have felt the spirit, and knowing how the gospel
changes the life now and for the eternity, and then see the people
reject it. Having people shut doors in the face, the freezing cold, or
whatever rude comment does nothing. It´s feeling this love that God has
for his children, and then seeing people not live up to their potential.
This is what hurts. I´m understanding more the book of mormon, what all
those missionaries like alma and ammon and amulek were talking about,
when their worked with all diligence and prayed constantly for their
brothers, to come to a knowledge of Jesus Christ. I know the true joy in
life really does come from this, to see our brothers and sisters
understand and apply the atonement in their lives.
Hermana Hickman loves me enough that she sent me oreos and a
jar of peanut butter! true love. And I received your letters and
pictures, thanks!!
Congrats on the seminary graduation landon! Still going to boondocks, or how is it now?
Love you all,
Hermana Andrews
