Adios Atiquizaya

Hola! Well we just found out and yep i have cambios. It was pretty obvious cause presidente already basically told me. I just cannot believe im leaving the area though. All be honest its gonna be hard to leave here. I already had some tears yesterday. Its so hard to say goodbye to people who have changed your life. Especially in this area it is going to say goodbye to the converts. Gosh i dont even know. Especially people like Rosa. Im gonna be so sad to say goodbye to rosa. in sunday school yesterday we had some investigators and the teacher asked rosa to say the opening prayer and so she went up to the front but then gave a special welcome to our investigators and also after church she told them she hoped they would come back. She is just so adorable. Im gonna miss her squinty eyed smile SO much. Ahh i dont even want to think about it. Her daughter Hermana sophie was telling me goodbye yesterday because they actually live in another area but come to our ward so i wont be able to say goodbye to her, but she was telling me how thankful she was for me for teaching her mom the gospel. It was a touching moment. Also people like Carlos Chafoya and Julio just everyone. And yesterday we had our correlacion meeting with the bishop and im gonna miss this ward. We had some really great leaders in this ward. But we are leaving behind a lot of great work. Im really sad that Im gonna be leaving hermana alvarado and hermana lucero. Its been so fun to be with them and these 3 weeks have gone by SO quickly. this change really went by way quickly. Hermana lucero and hermana alvarado are gonna be training and they are both staying in this area. So there will be 4 hermanas in the area again. But its gonna be hard for them because they have to split investigators. But im excited for them to both train because they are both great missionaries. But the good thing is we have a great pool of investigators who we are teaching right now. Im sad that i wont be around to see them progress. I dont know if i told you about Iliana the other week. But she really was prepared to receive this gospel and she already has a baptismal date for the 26th. She is so prepared for this gospel it is incredible. Everything makes sense to her and she says its all logical (FINALLY someone who understands)...but this week we went back to teach her and we were asking her if she had prayed to know if joseph smith was a prophet and she was like "well i always pray ....but i already feel like i know its true" and after we asked her how she had come to know that it was true and she just told us that every time we come she feels a great peace and there isnt any reason for her to doubt it. She is so great. We also have lots of others...i really dont have time to tell you about all of them...but i think the next cambio here the hermanas who are here are gonna have some success with these investigators. Each investigator is different and i just love meeting all these people. Its gonna be sad to say goodbye to a lot of them.. Everyone says im going to santa ana...and truth is no one knows...but i dont know what to think. I want to go to santa because i want to see that part of the mission but at the same time i dont because here there are a lot of people in ahuachapan and atiquizaya who know each other. the two pueblos are close so i feel like i know this whole area and it will be hard to go somewhere completely different. But im really excited to see what the lord has in store for me. Its crazy to think that this will probably be my last area from what presidente told me...but we´ll see. Changes are sometimes difficult to adjust but i like changes because it gives you the opportunity to change and put new goals and such. Anyways im glad all is well at home. Thanks for the pictures and thanks for your support always. I love you all so so so much. Hermana Groneman
