Big news. Bellingham kicked me out. I was doing too good of a job up here, the branch couldn't keep up so they had me booted. Not entirely the truth but hey, makes me feel better.
So yeh my president called me and told me that he was moving me all the way down to Seattle! The complete other side of my mission. At first I was sad cause that meant I'm gonna leave all of my friends, and I was ready to lead this area, and do all that good stuff. But I guess sometimes...we get thrown for a loop. I had to say bye to my friend, Jesús. And so many other wonderful people that I got to know here in my first zone.
Our apartment is a mess as we are trying to pack up all three of our things. My comps are both going home, which is strange cause like, I'll never see them again as missionaries. They'll just be normal people, doing regular things...wild. They've taught me so many things that I hope I can pass on to anyone I may train later on.
The craziest part about this transfer is that I have better Spanish than my companion will have...which will be FUNKY cause my comps are basically fluent, and in the process have taught me a lot of words which has helped immensely to grow my Spanish knowledge. So I will be leading most of the Spanish sides of things.
All of this drama of moving places so suddenly, has been a testament to me that sometimes, we have a plan all set up, ready to do things our way. But God will always have his plan for us, one that will always be better if we allow him to take charge. Even though my plans were taken down, I know that God will make sure I am placed in the exact place I am needed. Follow God in all things, trust in him. Ponga su confianza en Él. Para siempre jamás.
