Family and friends,
Man, another area! The cycle recently ended and I was moved again. But this change is very interesting and here's why! I am back in the Tecamac stake! If you don't remember, Tecamac was the first area I had, my training area. That was back in September of 2019. I now attend the same Church building that I was in. Except this area I'm in is different. It's called Huicholes. I do know however that the ward from my first area attends right after us so it's going to be awesome to see them again! I'm really excited! But this feels super weird because back when I was coming here in my first area the road that the Church is on was being paved. So at that time it was all dirt. Since then it has been finished. Now I don't need to be covered in kicked up dirt when I go to Church haha. But this weekend will be exciting because we have stake conference. I guess I should also mention that I got assignment changes as well and now I'm a zone leader for the Tecamac stake. The assistants came to ask me about that a couple weeks ago and I was not exactly expecting that since I was prepared to end in Xalostoc as a district leader for my last three transfers. Either way, it's going to be a fun last two transfers! I'm with Elder Osorio who has been here for two transfers already so he's really helping me out! We have several different things to do. We set up President Parry's interview schedule which is this Friday for us, we will see if President assigns us to give trainings at zone conference, we get to visit other missionaries in the zone on occasion, we have other meetings and councils to participate in for the mission and stake, exchanges with the assistants are this weekend; it's all just gonna be a fun time! Our stake president wanted us to put together a musical number with the missionaries in our zone for this stake conference so we will also be working on that! I was disappointed to leave Xalostoc because Victoria was going to be baptized this Sunday. I hope I get to be there through zoom though. She just had her interview on Sunday so I at least got to say goodbye to them there.
Well I have begun the beginning of the end. I'm positive this area is where I'll be staying my last couple transfers. I think it's now safe to say I should be home on August 3rd. Apparently my brothers all had their agendas and itineraries their last several months but I'll just be left with my release date and nothing more haha. It's just hard to imagine that some day it all ends. I'm stuck in what Garrett described to be as a make-belief reality that this is just my life now and life before the mission is just an imagination that's hard to piece together and recognize as an actual reality. I'm looking forward to the rest of the time here!
Take care!
