Well everyone, my worst nightmare came true and I got transferred to Lima. In a trio. Hahaha. It's not actually the worst, but it's something I'll have to get used to--Lima and the trio. I'm sad to have left Hermana Piños and everyone that I loved back in Ica. I already miss it. A lot. Transfers are so abrupt and it's hard to adjust at first, but I'll get used to it.
Todo lo puedo en Cristo que me fortalece. ❤️
(I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.)
On my last Sunday in Ica, Hna Piños and I sang in church, "Savior, Redeemer of My Soul" and then I bore my testimony....my final testimony in Barrio Puente Blanco. After classes, I said bye to all the members and took a million pictures. I'm gonna miss them all so much!
Then later that night I said bye to my pensionista, Kari, and her son, our ward mission leader, Angelo. That was the hardest part. Gosh dang it, why is the mission so hard, but so, so good?
I was welcomed to Lima by my TWO companions, Hermana Orellana (from Guatemala) and Hermana Palacios (from Perú). The crazy thing is, Hna Orellana is training Hna Palacios meanwhile Hna Palacios waits for her visa to come through. Hna Palacios has her mission call to Sydney, Australia. So she's just in our mission temporarily and could get her visa and leave at any second. But she's still in training...so technically I'm helping train her? I think? Ha ha. It's an interesting trio, one from each part of the Americas.
We are assigned to Barrio Las Palmeras, which is weird cuz I haven't seen a single palm tree since I've been here...they were all back in Ica. The members that I've know in these 2 days are so nice and welcoming so I hope to get to know them all and find my family here.
It's humid here and the sun doesn't like to shine but I'm fine with it. The traffic is terrible and it's a lot noisier, but that's just another small adjustment. There are 3 main parts of my mission--Ayacucho, The South (Cańete, Chincha, Pisco, Ica, and Nazca), and Lima (Villa Maria, Villa El Salvador, La Campiña, Pachacamac). So in my mission, I started in Ayacucho, then went to the South, and I'll finish up here in Lima! Crazy how time flies.
Well, have a great week!
Love you all,
Hermana Lowe
