71: A Decidedly Bittersweet Week

We worked hard, laughed hard, cried hard. It was Hna Judd's last week in her mission and we saw LOTS of miracles (like putting Eduardo on date to be baptized with his daughter!!!)

 

 

But it was also sad to go to Hna Judd's farewell and hear her last testimony. 

 

 

But it was also so fun to go to the nice asado restaurant that the departing missionaries eat at on their last night.

 

 

But it was sad to say goodbye to her. Her parents also came to Argentina to pick her up so yesterday I got to meet them and send her off with lots of hugs and "see you later"s .

 

 

But I got to come spend the night in my old area, Carcaraña (my favorite place in the world). And see all my favorite people again. We made lots of plans for them to come to Funes and visit or even to the US one day.

 

 

This week, I got to sit in and help President and the APs work on the transfers that start this week. It was SO COOL to see revelation flow and in the end, everything fell into place perfectly. Spoiler alert, I am going to stay in Funes and train a brand new Yankee on top of a lot of the same responsibilities I had before.... hahaha.... But! Busy is good, and it's gonna help me finish strong.

 

 

I love my mission. I know I am a completely different person than I was when I left and I am so grateful for the trials and the tears, the miracles and the laughter. They made me a better person. Argentina will always be sacred ground to me because it's where I learned to love, how to serve, and where I really got to know my Savior. 

 

 

I love being a missionary. And I love you guys!!! Send me an email if you need me to pray for something or just want to talk!! I'm always here :))
