This week has been a really awesome, but
sad week. It was the final week of my companion, Elder Miller. We had a really
crazy week. We were trying to do everything we could before he left. We did the
best we could. It was such a fun week. We were able to visit everyone and say
his final goodbyes. On Saturday we got the whole branch and threw him a
surprise party. He
had no clue that we were going to do that. It was a really
fun party where everyone got to say goodbye. It brought the branch a lot
closer. It was so awesome. The bad part is after church yesterday, I had to say
goodbye to my companion.
Elder Miller was seriously such a great comp. I learned so much
from him. I was really sad to say goodbye to him. It was a tough goodbye but I
know we will be friends after the mission too. I look up to Elder Miller so
much. He was a great example to me. We had some great times. I sure am going to
miss that dude. And I will never forget the things we did in Los Sauces. It
will be some of the cambios that I will always remember. If anything it was the
most challenging, but yet most rewarding cambios of my mission. I learned so
much through all the challenges we faced together. There was not one day where
there was not a trial. But through Faith in the Lord and constant prayer, we
were able to receive the strength to keep going. We saw many miracles in this
sector. I know we, as missionaries, literally became tools in the Lord’s hands.
I have seen such a big change since I have been here in Los Sauces.
I got the news
today that I will be heading out this transfer and going to a new area. I will be going further south to Temuco. It's in Sector Neilol. I won't be leaving until Friday, because of some passport issues with some of the other missionaries here. I will be getting another Peruvian companion, Elder Chumbe. I haven't heard much about him yet, so we'll have to see how it goes. I am
super sad to leave behind all the friends I have made, and all the good times
that I have experienced in this sector. It is going to be a hard goodbye... but
I know it is what the Lord wants. I am super excited to get out and see new
things and meet new people. The mission is so awesome because you are always
meeting new people that help change your life. I know a lot of people think the
missionaries go out and help the people.... but more than that,L the people help
the missionaries. I now know why we serve missions; it is also to help us grow
spiritually as missionaries. I am so grateful for all the challenging times I
have had, because that is when we have the opportunity to grow even more. I am
so happy to be here serving a mission. I hope the best for all of you out there
and thanks for all your love and support.
