Well, this is my last letter
that I'll be sending from here in Villarrica. We got a call from the
mission office this past Friday saying they're going to be closing
our area. I picked up a stomach virus this week, and was sleeping when we
got the call, but Hna Calderas ran into the room with the phone, and I was
super confused, but even though I might have been a little out of it, it's the
truth *tears* I'm allowed to be sad for a bit, but I know the Lord
has other things in store for us. Hna. Calderas will be headed off to
Paillaco and I'm headed to Frutillar. My new companion will be my first
compañera gringita, and I'm hoping I don't have culture shock, haha :)
For real though these
past six weeks have been the best and most fun six weeks of my mission.
We worked as hard as we could, and it's going to be really hard saying goodbye
to everyone, especially Hermana Calderas. The members here might be few,
but they are super strong. They've all helped me grow and progress a ton
as an individual.
Sometimes we don't
know the "why" to a lot of questions in life, but if we keep trusting
in the Lord, eventually we'll understand. He loves each and every one of
us individually and wants us to become the best version of ourselves.
Pressure turns coal into diamonds, and even though it can be difficult diamonds
are prettier than coal.
Not too much more to
say, but Villarrica will always have a special spot in my heart.
Love you all MUCHO!
Con cariño,
Hermana Coombs
