So, the moment you`ve all been waiting for, transfers!
I am in El Olivar which.....has the airport in it...whooo! Que
trunkazo! No just kidding, it doesn`t make me trunky, but it makes me sad
that I can hear all the planes taking off, but I can`t see them :(
Apart from that, my companion is Hna. Marin, from
Bolivia. She is from the same group as Hna. Luengo (my greenie) and Hna.
Luengo is in my district!
It was a long week, Hna. Marin`s last comp was
finishing her mission, so they weren`t in their area almost the whole week so
we basically started from 0, so a lot of walking, talking, and knocking.
Then today for pday we climbed up a hill overlooking
the ocean and airport, which was gorgeous, that also happened to have a giant
statue of a virgen....This is Peru.
I also got to see Elder Halverson again at
transfers!!!
And we got to see the temple dedication of
Trujillo! It was really lovely, I love getting to see that. There
were three sessions and we were originally only going to be able to go to the
first one, but our ZLs called the night before and said that if we found 5 new
investigators, that we could go to the first and the last session. So
Sunday morning after the 9 o`clock session, we hit the pavement searching,
searching, searching for new investigators, and we found them, all within 2
hours. So we got to go to the 3rd session too!
But it was really hard for me to leave Gamarra
(especially since they closed our area) because in my time there I have found
so many people that have impacted my life, I grew to love the people there so
much, I consider them family. But I know that Heavenly Father has a plan,
and even though saying goodbye is a part of the mission I hate, I`m glad I have
the chance to grow and learn and meet new people.
Love you all! Have a great week!
My make shift bed, a couch without cushions, my first night
here because I was way too tired to make my bed
