First the sweet side. This week we had several investigators come to church! The family we are teaching came. They are progressing rapidly. We have a few baptismal dates now...
But, the bitter side is I will be moving on. I'm being reassigned to La Calera and will likely miss the baptisms. I will miss the people I've come to call friends in this area. Elder Cerron is a really good missionary. I feel confident leaving the sector in his hands. I will miss his help with my Spanish. He helped me improve a lot. I feel like I can get around by myself if I had to.
La Calera is in the Quillota zone. It is in the country between my first area, Salamanca, and the mission home. I hear it is cold in the winter and hot in the summer. It's our winter now and I have my warm clothes I used in Salamanca with me. La Calera is inland and I think there is a lot of farming in the area. I hear they have really good pastries and look forward to trying some!
I've been told that I'll be serving with an Elder Hunter Brown. I don't know him, but will meet him soon, if the information on our missions website is correct. Elder Palilla said that he has heard good things about him. I'll also be serving as a district leader. I hear Elder Aguilars will be in the district. I served with him in Salamanca. It will be fun to be together again.
My mission is quickly passing. I have come to realize that my time is growing shorter. This could be my last area. I fear I won't accomplish all that I want before my mission finishes. I don't have a problem with that, but would like to reach all of my goals. I've grown a lot spiritually.
