SANTA LUCIA

Wow what a crazy week! 


We had transfers and I got moved to Santa Lucia! We were totally not expecting it because usually trainers stay with their greenies for at least 3 months! It was seriously so sad though because we went to bed Monday night so happy and so pumped to work this week. I felt like we had just finally gotten into the groove of things in Rocha. We had just found some awesome investigators that I love with all my heart! Only to wake up Tuesday morning to transfer news,  we were absolutley so sad! We had to say goodbye to all of our friends and the members and pack up our apartment to leave the next day! I don't know why I didn´t realize that the mission would be full of goodbyes but I guess that's going to be my life for the next 18months...! Ahhh it's so heartbreaking hahha.


I absolutely love my new area though. And my new companion especially! She is from Paraguay and is literally the cutest ever. It's been a little hard because sometimes I struggle to communicate but things are going so great right now and Im excited to see all the miracles in Santa Lucia!


This week I read in 1 Nephi 9:5-6 and I love it so much! It says, "Wherefore, the Lord hath commanded me to make these plates for a wise purpose in him, which purpose I know not. But the Lord knoweth all things from the beginning, wherefore, he prepareth a way to accomplish all his works among the children of men, for behold, he hath all power unto the fulfilling of all his words." How perfect for this week! It was really hard for me because I was upset to leave my area and thought that I needed to be there for these people. But I have to learn to trust in the Lord. He knows these people and He knows where I need to be. and this scripture was such a great example for me this week:):):)


Anyways I love you all!! Hope you all are doing well

ROCHA

Hi guys!!! I finally made it to Uruguay!! I've been here for about a week and a half now!! My area is Rocha which I think is about 3 hrs from Montevideo. The people here are so nice and patient with my spanish, especially my companion. She's from Idaho and is the nicest ever!  We went on exchanges this week and I spent the day with another hermana in San Carlos. She has been here only 6 weeks longer than me so we are both still learning spanish! Im still shocked that our companions trusted us enough to be in charge of an area for a day but it all worked out. Not gonna lie it was way scary going around trying to teach people when we had no clue what anyone was saying!!! The people here looooove to talk and tell stories and so it's a stressful guessing game trying to choose which facial expression to make while they're telling me stories because I never can tell if they're sad stories or happy ones. Hahaha please pray for my spanish. Being in Uruguay is so cool though...

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well! This week was so awesome! We found 7 new people to teach and are so excited because we are finally seeing success in our area! It's definitely been a struggle though because the heat is so intense!! Apparently there is a big drought going on right now and so they're starting to shut the water off in different cities near my area.  Our mission leaders had us all buy emergency water today so that we can all be prepared because we don't know when they will turn off the water or for how long..... ahhh pray for us here in Uruguay!!  I miss you all!! Feel free to write me whenever;););) it makes my day hearing from you guys! Xoxo Hermana Heyborne PICS: 1. cookie dough!!! 2. my first torta frita 3.
