TRANSFERS

Our last bus ride together :( 

HAHHAHA our DL, entonces somos una familia! 

The CUTEST little girl of one of our investigators! 

We were having a lesson over the phone, and she came outside and sat by us, 

closed her eyes during the prayer and like was so reverent! I was dying. 

HOLIS! 

Hi family and friends!! Literally my world is turned UPSIDE DOWN. I got transferred today!!! So we knew that one of us, either Hna Henao or I would be transferred, because she has almost 6 months in Grecia! We were standing in the street, just got out of a lesson, and we get a phone call from the ZL´s. Literally my heart was pounding SO hard! They said "do you have something to write this down, Sisters?" and then told us that HERMANA HENAO IS STAYING IN GRECIA, and I am GOING TO GUANACASTE!! The city is called Santa Cruz. Immediately we started BAWLING our eyes out, and rightly so! I was all ready to take on the area, I had taken down the names of all the cities, the less actives, and everything! But the Lord needs me here in Santa Cruz!! 

My new comp is named Hermana Carrillo, and she is also from Columbia!! She is 28, and so nice! I think that we are gonna get along just great :) I literally have no idea what is going on or where anything is, but it will be good! She just told me "we need to find nuevos, because we just baptized all of our investigators!" haha so I´m pumped!! It´s literally so hot here. 

Let´s talk really quick about saying bye to everyone last night. WOW I never even realized how hard it would be!!! i was literally crying saying bye to Hermana Marta, and Joselin. I don´t even wanna talk about saying bye to Hermana Henao! literally the hardest thing. It was like saying bye to everything I know, every person, routine, and member! But it is how the mission is :) Our DL was literally so sad to say bye to me! Man the hardest and best part of a mission is all the friendships you make!! 

President came to our Zone Conference! So we have to memorize a ton of things, and he was there, with Sister Laboriel, asking everyone the whole thing that we have to memorize. LUCKILY I knew every single thing that he asked me!! It was SO nerve wracking, in front of the whole zone! We also had interviews with him, and of course I cried. But he said that my Spanish is so good, and he thought I had a transfer more than I actually do!! He wrote down next to my name `5 months` and I literally don´t know how I feel about that!! 5 MONTHS!!!!!!! I just can´t describe how I feel about that...

SAYING BYE TO JOSELIN WAS THE HARDEST THING! She wasn´t in her house yesterday, for us to pass bye and say bye!!! I just told her bye over that phone, and we both started to cry! But she will be baptized this 10 de diciembre, and she will be such a strong member! She is literally the perfect investigator!! :) She has an answer, she doesn´t drink coffee, and she is married! ah. This is the hardest part of the mission!! 

I know that Jesus Christ lives. God is helping me in every step of my mission! He is with us in our lives, and HE WANTS to hear from us, we just need to pray! I learned a TON this week about charity, and serving others. I am totally becoming a different person, and changing. I am going through the refiner´s fire. President said something this week during the conference `the mission is a marvelous opportunity to change` and it´s SO true!! I literally am different from 5 months ago :) But still Emily Hansen, just a better person :) 

I love you all! Have a great week, and I´ll be here sweating and preaching and learning :)

My life...scriptures and a nice durable cellphone :)
