Goodbye Palermo, Hello Zarate!‏

Or in other words, goodbye to capital and buses and clean animals and hello to dirt roads and bikes and animals that are... not so clean. 

First off, I'm super super excited for this change! Yesterday at around 7 I got a call from President, and President only calls when they´re changing your position in the mission. So yesterday I was called to be a Sister Training Leader, and I'm in Zarate with Hermana Olivares! I did divisions with her in Palermo and I LOVE her so it´s going to be awesome. She finishes her mission this transfer so we have 6 weeks together! 

As much as I was ready to leave Palermo, it was really hard. Saying goodbye to so many who had changed my life was incredibly difficult. Way harder than leaving Escobar. I think because Im now able to fully communicate and be myself, so I developed many strong relationships. I'm not going to tell you the amount of times I cried this week because that would just be embarrassing. 

I found out I was for sure leaving the area on Thursday, when my comp got the call to train! I can't believe it. We finished her training today and she´s already training. I'm a grandma! 

I left Palermo on a good note with the baptism of Rosa, Sofias mom! She is a miracle, honestly. It was the most amazing thing to see her enter the water and enter into this covenant.  That family is so special to me. I know that their dad is going to accept one day and they´re going to be sealed as a family. 

I have so much more to say about this week, but at the same time, I don't have anything else to say. I'm super happy with this change, but going to miss Palermo un montón. Also like the majority of my friends in the mission went home today so that was super sad saying goodbye to all of them. 

I'm really thankful for the opportunity to serve. For the trials that God gives me in the mission, and all that He gave me in Palermo. Thanks to those I was able to grow and learn. I'm super thankful for everyone I have met here in the mission, and for everything they have taught me. 

Also... Shout out to my bro for getting his mission call to PERU!!!!!!!!! It's going to be amazing. (because peruvian food is the best) LOVE YOU. 

Love,

Hermana Prestwich
