Hermana Brittany Lowe : Plot Twist!

Well, here I am, still in Lima - La Campiña. But...with a new companion! Es super loco. Mi hijita had a transfer to AYACUCHO after only one transer with me and I'm training another new sister, again! It's insane. President also called me to be Hermana Leader in La Campiña, so it's basically a drastic change that I never thought would happen. Hermana Lundgreen and I were excited and expecting that she'd be my companion until I finished my mission....but plot twist!! Did NOT see that coming.

So Hermana Lundgreen and I enjoyed our last week together without knowing it was our last week together. Que triste. We brought (well, God helped us bring) 12 investigators to church on Sunday!! A miracle. Luisana, an investigator that we have with a baptism date, came with her husband and 2 daughters and her older daughter (Sarai, 7 years old) sang and participated in the Primary program! It's a presentation that the kids put on in church once a year. It was adorable. Little kids speaking in Spanish make my heart melt. We also found a lot of new investigators this week and were on a roll when we got the unexpected call to change. I'm sad but I know that God has called Hermana Lundgreen (mi primera hijita) to Ayacucho for a reason. They must really need her right now. I'll miss her but I know she'll do amazing. I'm proud of how far she's come.

So my new companion is Hermana Cook! She's from Iowa and is already so fun. She studied Spanish for 5 years so she's already to a level that I was after like 6 months in the mission, ha ha. She's great. She's so excited to work and loves saying hi to everyone and everything. She's gonna pick up fast on everything.

On her first day, which was yesterday, we visited Silvia (our favorite member/my mission mom #5), found a new and very interested lady, Maria, and then taught a lesson to the Palacious family and invited them to baptism. It was a great day and we were/are exhausted. This point in my mission is really bittersweet because I wasn't prepared to have my daughter taken away from me and receive another! So I'm sad for that aspect, but super excited because I already love Hermana Cook and I know we're gonna see miracles here in these next 3 months. I wish I could be with the both of them, ha ha. But it's ok, I know that everything happens for a reason and that God has the bigger picture.

I love the mission! still learning so much and just trying to take it all in.
Have a great week, everyone!
