Hey there!
Well, the results are
in...and...
I had CAMBIOS! Nooooo! But the
good news is, my companion is...
HERMANA V! As in my comp
when we were in trio in Miraflores! Yay!!! The Rivera Dynasty continues!
So I'm in Diriomo, which is a
little town between Granada and Masaya. So I'm in Zona Los Pueblos, district
Diriomo, area Diriomo 3. It's a cool little area...slightly like Rosario, but
more populated and it actually has stores here...haha. I actually haven't
gotten to see much of my area, because Hna V is sick...her knee is busted
up pretty bad along with some other health problems. I'm starting to realize
how blessed I've been healthwise so far in the mission! But it has been way fun
being back with her...reminiscing about old times back in Managua with Hna
R. I can already feel like my spanish is getting better, since I'm
speaking spanish all the time again. But yeah...from what i can tell, Diriomo
is pretty great. It's just a little branch over here, but there are 3
companionships working here. We're the only hnas in the district though.
So we're pretty sure that Pres
put us together to help this area get back up on its feet...because we're hijas
de Hna R and he LOVED her. This area needs a lot of work, but that's why
I'm here! We've got a couple positive investigators, so hopefully they'll
continue to progress, but hopefully next week I'll be able to give more
details, because I honestly haven't met very many people. I arrived on Wed, but
my comp is super sick so we didn't work...then we had to go to the hospital on
thursday...but on friday we worked all day! But that was the only full day of
working. Hopefully she gets better soon!
Leaving Rosario was SO hard! I
seriously miss it so much. Nobody believed me when I told them I had cambios.
It's amazing how fast 6 months fly by. I left a lot of houses crying that day
saying goodbye to everyone. I think that's one of my least favorite things
about the mission...saying goodbyes. So sad. We actually got the cambios call
when we were in a cita with A. In the beginning, he noticed how nervous
we were, and asked what was up, so we explained, and then a little later on,
they called. He was so cute though...before we knew if we had cambios, he said
that HE would pray so that I wouldn't have cambios...which was significant
because he really struggles with praying. But the good news is that he is going
to be baptized this coming Saturday! I'm so excited for him! I'm really sad
that I won't be there for it, but it'll be awesome. He is so ready. I am so
grateful that I was able to be in El Rosario for so long. It really is mission
paradise, and it was so fun being with Hna N. I was so sad leaving, but I
know that I'm supposed to be in diriomo right now. And at least I'm with my
sobrina hermana, hna V! So that's fun!
So Masaya is one of the most
touristy areas, because it's where all the souveneirs are...and way cheaper
than anywhere else. The markets aren't in my Zone, but we can get permission to
go on pdays! And my zone has a ton of cool places that we can visit...like
Mombacho (volcano) and Catarina, so at least Pday activities will be more fun
here! Masaya and Granada are both pretty hot, but somehow Diriomo ended up
lucking out on the climate. It's still hotter than Rosario, but it is
significantly cooler than Masaya. I lucked out on that one, because if I'd gone
to a super hot area, I'd die, since these are the hottest months of the year.
Well, I don't have too much to
say this week...I'm sure I'll have more details about my area next week! I'm
pretty trunky for El Rosario, but I'm excited to see what's in store for me
here in Diriomo. It'll be funnnnnnnnnnn. I know that the Lord does everything
for a reason, so if I'm here, it's because I did everything I could in Rosario,
and now it's time to work on Diriomo. I just have to trust in Him and work my
hardest! I'm grateful that I have been able to feel His love for His children
in Rosario...and now I'm starting to feel in for the people of Diriomo!
I hope you all have a great week! I can't believe we're in
the last full week of March!!! Love you!
Hermana MacKay
