My First Change!

 

Hola todos!

I have some very good news. You are all super good pray-ers because I got changed. I am no longer in Mexicali. Right now, I'm recieving my reward for being in Mexicali. I am now serving in Ensenada!!! Thank you so much for all your prayers and support. I have an awesome companion- still not training, but I am the Senor companion. She just finished her training. We're gonna work hard and have some great success here.

Anyways, This week was a pretty normal week up until Saturday. It was full of walking, sweating, walking, sweating, eating, sweating, studying, sweating and then finally changing places. Seems like I'm exagerating on the sweating, but I'm not. It really is that bad.

Second Companion in Mexicali

I'm gonna miss my barrio a lot, but I'm super excited to be here, to start some new adventures and learn more. I feel revived. I think the sun was starting to have some bad effects. I started to feel exhausted all the time. Now I feel like I'm ready to jump into the work and find some good investigators.

Funny story. This morning, my bus was supposed to leave at 8am. One elder that was supposed to be in charge kept saying, "No, its not time to load yet. Those who are going to Tijuana always load first". Little did we know we werent going on the same bus and yeah...ours left. So we had to wait until 10 o clock in the Central until our bus left. But its okay. Because Now I'm here in Ensenada!!! Still so excited!

The bus ride directly from Mexicali to Ensenada is only about 3 and a half hours which is way better than going to tijuana with everyone and then to ensenada which is 5 hours.

I know I've already said it, but I'm so happy to be here. This week is gonna be fun. A week of "firsts." Next weeks letter will be better. Just know that I am happy, healthy, and gonna sleep well tonight.

Love you all!
