Oh mi Padre

It was my last week in the Woodlands! We have transfers tomorrow and both of us will be taken out of the area due to the lack of Spanish sisters in the mission. We are sad but I'm excited to get into a new area!

I was quite sick most of the week so my comp and I had to hang out in the apartment most of the week so it wasn't too eventful.

V the Argentine is the best!! She told us this week she wants to be baptized. We're passing her off to the elders so hopefully they can progress her :)

M found a bunch of names to be baptized for soon! We're so excited!! I'm so sad to leave her.

On Sunday, I got to sing in a Spanish fireside. I sang "Oh My Father" and it was an awesome experience. I had never felt the words to a song like I did last night.

"Then, at length, when I’ve completed
All you sent me forth to do,
With your mutual approbation
Let me come and dwell with you."

I have felt God's love for me so strongly here. In every tribulation I have faced, I've seen God's hand. I'm so grateful for His love and how He has shown it to me. Happiness and love don't fill our lives by having fun all the time, but by learning from mistakes and trials. I love my Father in Heaven. I know that one day I will be able to dwell with Him.

Con amor, Hermana Jorgensen
