Hola everyone!

This last week was transfers. And I was transferred. I was so sad to go because I love my last area and everyone there but I felt really calm and at peace with transfers. I knew that everything would be okay.

Tuesday night I am all packed and ready to go for transfers the next day. That night I had a dream. It was a short dream but I couldn’t get it out of my head. In my dream I walked up to a man, I reached out my hand to shake his and said, “We are the missionaries for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.”…..in Spanish.

The next day Sister C. and I go to transfers and we are all sitting there listening to President speak and then he says time for transfer business. I felt so calm. Normally I am a nervous wreck but I felt so calm and at peace. He starts off with our zone. He goes through each missionary.. but he doesn’t call out Sister C.’s name. so weird. We both look at each other like what just happened, did he forget? What was running through my mind was oh my goodness did he decide to change last minute and keep us together?! but then he calls out another zone. “Sister H., SPANISH speaking with.. Sister W.”

My jaw dropped and I looked at him like, is this real? I walk over to Sister W. who I don’t know at all haha and give her hug. She asks me, “Do you speak Spanish?” And I say back, “Uhh…pequito!” All the missionaries were flippin out because I was now Spanish speaking! It was crazy! President continues with transfers and at the end we tell him uhh you didn’t call out Sister C.’s name. haha he accidentally skipped over her name. She is with another Sister, she goes home this transfer and is from Utah.

I just want to bear my testimony that God knows us! When I found out I was being transferred I was upset and sad. Why is this happening?, is what I would say. But the minute I stepped into this area it is loud and clear to me that I need to be here. I am not fluent in Spanish but I am learning and it is AMAZING how quickly I am picking it up. It doesn’t matter to me if I am here for one transfer or until September when I go home. Because right now in this very moment this is where I need to be. God knows everything and he will put me where I am needed. I am grateful for this opportunity to teach in Spanish but most especially to be a missionary. My life is forever changed because of these past 14 months! 🙂

I love you all! <3

Sister… achem.. I mean Hermana H. 🙂
