Cambios

welp fam another cambio is here.

I am still here in El Angel but i have a new companion haha so you were all wrong! To be honest im pretty sad that hermana flores left. its so weird because i had sooo much time with hermana estevez and after that ive only had 6 weeks with all of my comps. It goes by SO quickly. So anyways we found out about cambios on monday (earlier then normal) so then tuesday we spent practically all day saying goodbye for hermana flores. This was her first area to leave and she had 3 cambios here so yeah. Then we had the cambios meeting on wednesday in the morning. I was glad i got to go because its fun to see the other missionaries who have cambios and especially because it was the last cambios meeting with presidente cordon. So it was pretty sad. But later in two weeks we are going to have a last meeting with presidente cordon with the whole mission. It will be so weird to receive a new mission presidente. Im going to miss presidente cordon a lot because ive learned so much from him, but also im pretty excited to see what changes will happen and to meet the new mission president. Ryan what was it like when you received your new mission president?

Anyways so hermana flores went to ahuachapan and she is companions with hermana garbett!! crazy huh? anyways and my new comp is Hermana Lezama. She is from honduras and she only has 3 months left. So this is mostly likely her last area. To be honest she is kind of baggy with only 3 months left, but she is really nice so we will see how this cambio goes. But truth is i dont think i want to be her last companion but we`ll see what happens. Its only been a few days so we are still getting to know each other.

Anyways. So this week to be honest was pretty horrible. Lots of our plans fell through this week and we didnt have a ton of success. So it was a little hard but we just keep working each day. Basically poured rain this whole week. truth is i love the rain. so much better than the sun. and everyone thinks im crazy for it, BUT i dont like the rain when our plans fall through. If we had set appointments and none of them fell through it would be great with the rain. but yeah. Thursday was pretty horrible because all day long we knocked doors and searched for members to ask for references and nobody was home and nobody answered their doors. But hey we just keep going and there are always small little miracles. There is always a small miracle or something to show me that God knows me and knows how im feeling and he is aware of what im going through.

But ITS A NEW WEEK. and im hoping to work really hard this week and have a completely different week.

But in good news for this week. We have two investigators at church....not that much...BUT we had a 19 year old boy who came - Roberto - and he is super positve. Hes pretty busy with studying and things going on in his life, but i think he can progress. We havent taught him a ton, but i hoping to work with him more this week. And also Rosa. At first i didnt see her in church because we got their a little late because we passed for Roberto, so i was super upset that she wasnt there, but then i saw her and i guess she had been there the whole time. Best of all. SHE DOESNT HAVE CANCER. so this week she went to the doctor for some more tests to verify everything and decide her treatment and everything and i guess everything ended up negative and she doesnt have cancer! really it was an answer to prayers. And during sunday school the teacher asked if anyone had had a spiritual experience this week and she stood up and shared that she new her prayers were answered and that we as missionaries were praying for her and how grateful she was for us. It was such a tender moment and she is such a sweetheart. We`ve basically taught her all the lessons and we are going to put a date with her for baptism this week and review a few things. Im so grateful to have met her.

Also last night i was able to talk to hermana estevez. We were just talking and catching up and then she told me how grateful for me as a companion and she was telling her companion the other day that if any missionary helped her to change it was me. THat i helped her to change to have energy to work and to enjoy the mission and to have more faith. It was such a tender moment because maybe things were a little hard with her sometimes...but i love her and im so grateful that i was able to be a good example for her. It made me realize that maybe i dont have a ton of success with investigadores always, but we are also here to help our companions grow.

she says hi to all the family.

Anyways thats basically all i have to say. Sorry my emails are always so scattered all over the place. Im ready to have a better week and to work hard. It sounds like everyone at home is having fun campion and enjoying summer time. Enjoy it because it goes by quickly!

Love you all and thanks for your prayers and support
