It was the most surprising thing ever. I couldn't believe I was going to be with her again, and that I changed areas for just 5 more weeks. But I think that maybe God wants us to work together again because when I trained her we were both new... and both a little unconfident. But now we both have more than a year in the mission, and I think it's an opportunity to experience miracles together. because we wanted to have a baptism so badly, but weren't able to. And maybe now we`ll see the fruits of our labors. We`re going to work super hard!
I was a little sad to leave Villa Angela, because Cristian (ice cream guy), already made friends with some of the guys in the branch, and was hanging out with them this week. He`s going to get baptized for sure. Then we visited Karen, who had dropped us 2 weeks ago... but we stopped by and were able to save that situation , and she`s letting us teach her again. There is so much potential in that area, but oh well... God wanted me in a different place. It seems that I always help teach and prepare people for baptism, and then I get transferred.
This last week Hna Arias and I laughed so much. We really did grow close, and are going to miss each other. My last day she made me a cake haha. oh yeah...and for the first time I had to eat something disgusting. Its called mondongo.. (pretty sure its the stomach lining of a cow)... and it was awful. the texture made me want to throw up. But we were eating lunch with an investigator, and she was so excited to feed us. oh well.. guess at least once in the mission you have to eat something gross.
We met a guy named Jose, who lives alone, hes about 40 years old, and we started to have a lesson with him. About half way through he told us that 3 days before, he had a dream that he was sitting down talking with a "Rubia and a Morochita" And we were like... "you dreamed of us?" and he nodded his head. Wow... that was a miracle for us. To know that God knows literally everything. He knows us personally and is in the details of each of our lives.
This week I started to read my MTC journal... and its been crazy to see the difference from the first night.. when I wrote "I don't know what I'm doing here. I'll never learn Spanish, etc etc".. and then just 1 week later I was so enthusiastic about being a missionary. It was such a drastic change in just 1 week. I'm sure I've changed a lot in a year and a half. My personality hasn't changed.. still the same Skye. But my perspectives, desires, and faith have changed completely.
love you so much! have a great week :)
