ch..ch..ch...changes

so this wekeend, we have changes. it was hard to say good bye ti everyone after 6 months... but it really didnt hit me until the very end. i went and sid bye to lots of people, but the hardeest was walking into the gospel principles class, because all my new converts and investigators that are getting baptized were sitting there, and it was too much. i cried! it was sad. i will be missing their baptisms, and wont get to see them progess and grow in the gospel. i have to leave them in the hands of other hermanas and i hope they take care of them!! ahhh sad day. also sad because i left polochic, which i LOVE and know its GOds tierra, and came to COban, the city. very beautiful, but not the same when there are mcdonalds on the corner and no dirt roads. its a little bit hard to adjust. we traveled for 6 hours in a chicken bus, as jerry called it, and got to coban in the night, and then today played soccer and found out all our new comps. mine is hermana duarte, form el salvador. i was a little bummed, because i have never really heard great things about her. heard she is hard to work with and kind of angry. and she doesnt like gringas. she only has one change before she heads home, and has 9 months in this area already. i am her first gringa comp, so i have to teach her to like us. yikes. but i think with teh right attitude we will be just fine. it will be wierd shopping in a supermarket and knocking doors. they dont really have doors in the chic. just doorways. all i had to do was holler and they come out. here its like, ahh different. but i trust in my president and his inspiration. i am here for a reason. we will see. maybe its to learn patience. i worked so hard last change and the blessings are, well, a sketchy companion, missing my baptisms, and living in the city. ouch. there must be pther blessings i havent seen yet right? hehe anyhoo, thats all for now. i will let you know next week how everything is. pray for me.
love you all!!!
