Numero Uno-- My best friend is leaving me! ("Why do you want to leave meeeeee?"--Name that movie) I´ve been singing that "Stay with me" song all weekend but nope. She´s still getting transferred. But its okay because guess where she´s going?? ALICANTE!!! Alicante? That sounds familiar right? That sounds like the city where we go to have our District meeting? Why yes it is! Out of ALL the places she could have gone in this huge mission she got sent to city closest to Albacete. WE´ll even still be in the same district! hahaha thats kinda like the biggest miracle/tender mercy ever for me. I knew I might not be able to finish my mission with her but this is literally the next best thing! Gosh i love her so much! We´ve had a pretty sweet run together. I´ve grown so much with her and we´ve worked really hard and well together and just have had so much FUN. I could honestly go on and on and on about how beautiful and funny and sweet and caring and just the ray of sunshine that she is but I won´t. Just know that I love Hermana Swenson!
And I should have known that it was coming because I have been praying really hard especially lately that Heavenly Father would squeeze everything He wanted me to learn and grow from into this last month that i have left here in Spain. And I know this must be part of the answer!
And my new comp will be.......HERMANA BEUCHTER! I don´t know a lot about her but she was just comps with hermana Andersen so, small world! I can´t wait to work hard with her this month! Which we´ll have to do si o si because she only has 4 weeks to learn the area before I leave so yeah! AHHH. We got a lot of work ahead of us!
And so yeah, now that i´ve mentioned it like 10 times, I might as well just go out and say it! In exactly one month i will be traveling to the mission home for the last time. Not that i´m trunky--anything but! This last week its hit me like a gigantic boulder and I´m anything but ready to stop being a missionary. I can´t even let the little kids play with my nametag anymore , I don´t like taking off my nametag. I´m pathetic.
Anyway enough of that. SO basically my week has been a mix of a midlife crisis and tearful goodbyes as we´re literally RUNNING across Albacete so that Hermana Swenson can get all her goodbyes in. Everyone just loves her, what can i say. Oh and I gave my last testimony meeting in my last Zone Conference this week too. That was something....I turned so red from being nervous and trying not to cry but I think I made sense. Also, Hermana Swenson and i sang "Nearer My God to Thee" in Sacrament Meeting which was an adventure for me because as you all know--i cant sing. But no one can here either so it was okay! haha.
And yeah. Sorry--this is probably like the worst letter I´ve written home but know that I LOVE being a missionary. And that I´m grateful for the PRIVILEGE to be a missionary here in Spain. To be a representative of the Lord, Jesus Christ. And i will take advantage of this last month i have!
I LOVE YOU ALL!
HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!
Love,
Hermana Morrow
