Dearest Family!
This week was a good one, but with lots of changes... again! hahaha.
First off... MY NEW COMPANION!!! Her name is Hermana Torres, she`s from Ecuador and JUST got out of the CCM! ahahaha. She is awesome and learning lots, but of course there`s the normal homesickness that always comes with leaving the home and the CCM. I know she`ll get through it, though and it`s given me a lot of time to think about my first change. Wow... It was a rough one. HAhaha. BUT I am grateful for it. All the experiences that I had in that first change have really helped me to help my companio now. I definitely wouldn`t want to live my first change again, but I would never change it. I guess that`s how the mission is supposed to work, though. Cool how the things we experience are ALL part of God`s great plan and he knows exactly what we need to be able to progress and in return, help others.
This week in Barrio Buenos Aires, we received a NEW BISHOP!! It was a little shocking for everyone, but also pretty expected since the last bishop has been bishop for like, 10 years. Just lots of changes for the ward and there will be some adapting. However, something President Godfrey told us in the last changes was that sometimes we think that a calling or a position in the mission or the church means that we are more spiritually intune or that we have reached a higher level of greatness or worthiness, but really, it`s just what the Lord wants us to do RIGHT NOW. He told us that maybe after his mission, he`ll be called to teach primary or sunday school and that doesn`t mean he did his calling bad, but it`s just what God wants him to do right now. I thought that was pretty cool.
Our new bishop is Bishop Roberto Lopez!! He is the oldest son of the familia Lopez who make piñatas and love th missionaries. I am really looking forward to working with him.
Welp, those are the exciting things that have happened this week. It is REALLY REALLY cold here. Like, super cold. Every day it`s tights and my big coat! But I really do love the weather. Unfortunately, my companions having a tough time. Just some adjusting to do!
I hope you guys have a fantastic week! I love you lots and am always praying for you!
Love love love,
Hermana Kira Andrus
