shock. So that means next transfer one of us will probably leave and
the other will stay. I think I may leave, but with my luck in areas
I'll probably stay haha. But crazy thing!!! We're now in
multi-language districts and zones. We'll probably be in a zone with
the English elders and our zone leaders (who are Spanish elders in our
ward). And we're still keeping our calling as STLs (sister training
leaders). We're now over 7 sets of sister in place of 4 sets. And they
range from English, to Spanish, to Chinese! So it's gonna be fun maybe
I will learn a little Chinese :)
I have changed SO much on my mission it's crazy. When I
think about myself before the mission, I almost don't hardly recognize
myself. I'm not anywhere near perfect, but I've changed a lot and
developed lots of new characteristics. My goal is to get to the point
where no one can recognize me when I get home, I want to be that much
better than I was before haha. I can see now that before my mission I
was super stubborn and selfish, I always wanted to have things my way.
I'm almost the exact opposite now, I think of what others want before
myself. :)
I've been so blessed to have a family strong in the gospel who support
me in my decision to serve a mission. It's been becoming more of a
reality that I'm going home from my mission in 2 transfers and I'm so
sad! I'm getting kinda emotional thinking about it right now. You just
learn so many things on the mission. I'm definitely going to be
leaving a big part of my heart here in California! But I know that
when I go home I'll have an awesome support group - my family! And
we'll be able to progress in the gospel together! I'm just going to
need the help of each one of you to help me keep up the awesome habits
and spirit I've had with me in the mission. I fell like more open,
honest communication is something I've learned is important on the
mission. Just talking about how you're feeling and respecting what
someone else is saying, it gets rid of lots of miscommunications. And
just daily living the gospel, really working toward an eternal goal
together (eternal life as a family).
