My companion is being transferred to Laureles, which is in
my zone, so I'll get to see her on Wednesdays! Woot!
It was great to talk to you yesterday. It felt totally
normal. I think it's helped me a lot my previous living away from home
experience.
Dad, your comment about make good friends - I've been
thinking about that all morning. When we found out Hermana Hernandez is being
transferred, we kept hoping our district leader was going to call back and say
he was mistaken. I really truly love my companion. I also got to thinking about
all the friends I have on missions, my friends from Ecuador and the exchange
students, my families there, friends from high school, friends from BYU, the
friends I'm making here. I got all philosophical and started thinking about how
grateful I am for the eternities to keep seeing these people, and how important
it is to always remind them that they mean a lot to me.
This week has been really special in that aspect - I've been
able to feel that love and I never want it to go away. I don't know - I feel
slightly emotionally drawn out but full of happiness at the same time -
nostalgia is weird that way.
Did I tell you about the ward conference already? We had 166
people come to the meeting - we usually have an attendance of just over 100
people, people kept coming in, and they couldn't find seats. It was really so
awesome. There are so many people who are looking for the Gospel, we just need
to find them.
Love you!
Hermana Juliana
