I`m going to America

It just randomly said cats, so I have to get a picture with it, obviously.

The red door, you might not be able to tell, but when we
knocked this dog jumped up and put his face in that little hole.

Well, kind of. I am being transferred tomorrow to a ward named
America. And when I first heard it, I thought I was going back to my
old zone, because there is a ward named America. BUT, I`m actually
leaving Cochabamba, to America in TUPIZA! Which is just a city outside
of Cochabamba. I think it`s pretty far away. And I`ll get a nice, new
Latina companion. I am really excited.

But I am sad to leave this area! I`ve only been here a little less
than 2 weeks, but I really love everyone here! The members we live
with are really fun, and our pensionista is HILARIOUS! It stinks that
I have to leave them. BUT, I am a little relieved that I am not
staying and Hermana Worthy, my North American comp, leaving. I do not
know the area AT ALL, and I was really nervous. I didn`t want to lose
all of their investigators because I didn`t know where they live.

This week we had a super good lesson with this lady named K. She
talks a lot, and has a lot of opinions about different religions, but
she always listens to what we have to say, and is always really open
to it. So, we were teaching the first lesson, and talking about
prophets, and asked us if we thought that God would ever call another
prophet...Well, yes! We talked about the restoration of the church
through Joseph Smith, and that Thomas S. Monson is the prophet today,
and she was so excited! She wanted to learn more, and hear President
Monson speak. So we left her the restoration video, and brought her a
Liahona( Church magazine) with conference talks from last year. I am so excited that she
is so excited! Haha. I will definitely be calling Hermana Worthy to
see how the area is going.

I probably will be outside of Cochabamba for a while. Usually when
people are sent to Sucre or Potosi or Tupiza, or anywhere outside, they`re
there for a good 6 months. PLUS, we`re about to get a new mission
president, so we don`t know how many changes he will make at first,
since he`ll still be getting used to everything. But it will be fine!
People usually LOVE their areas outside of Cochabamba.

I am really glad that I am here. Things feel like they are getting a
lot better. I am not sick, I`ve had a lot of really spiritual lessons
this last week, and my Spanish is starting to get a lot better. My
district leader has told me several times how good my Spanish is,
because I speak with confidence. Which is a pretty big compliment,
since his native language is Spanish. Ayyyyyyy.

I am excited to go to my new area. I hope everything at home is going
well. I love you!

No one seems to be home!
