So
transfers are tomorrow and I am sad to say...but I am leaving Kingsville :( My
new area will be called Rio Bravo (the Mexican version of the rio grande) in
Laredo! Its right on the border and about 3 or 4 blocks from the Rio Grande.
Its like every missionary's dream to be in this area or the next one over
called South Gate. So I am pretty stoked but I am going to miss the wonderful
people here in Kingsville. They are all so dear to me and I hope I can visit
them again. I don't know my new address yet so I will send it to you all next
Monday. Its 100% Spanish speaking so I am really stoked for that. Hopefully
this will get the remaining "gringo" out of me haha. My new companion
is named Elder Magallanes and he is the district leader down there, he is
training me to be the district leader there after he leaves so fun fun fun!
This last
week that I had here in Santa Gertrudis has been pretty wild. Since Thursday I
have been almost bed-ridden with a high fever that seems to be spreading
through the town. The highest thermometer reading I got was about 103 degrees
haha. But I survived and Sister Trayner was up in Corpus and drove down and
took care of me haha. But I am feeling better and got a few days of work here
in my last week in my "greenie" area. It feels nice to leave the area
much improved since I came in. The Lord has blessed my openly with success
here.
For my
birthday the Ward threw me and Elder Hunt a party before we both left (Elder Hunt
is going home). It was legit and awesome to see the ward finally excited about
something to do with Missionaries haha. Maybe they were just excited we were
leaving, who knows, but nevertheless it was a blast. I loved receiving all of
your yummy birthday treats! Elder Bybee and I now probably have diabetes from
all the sweets, but that won't slow us down one bit. We just baked the Pumpkin
pie this morning so we will have to taste it later today and see how it turned
out! Love you all so much and thanks for all the support and birthday wishes.
Y'all the best! haha

Quiero,
