Good news, my mom is dead. My mission mom at least. My last three transfers in the mission have been with Hermana Ellison, my trainer, but this transfer she decided to go home one transfer early which means I'm the one who killed her.
It's bittersweet I guess. Bitter because she's kind of been the only companion I've had in the field (other than my trio with Hermana Merlo) so I'll definitely miss her, but sweet because she ditched a bunch of stuff behind which means I've got a whole new wardrobe 😎.
This baby bird so ready to leave the nest though, especially now that I know that I'm getting transferred to whitewash in Olivarria with Hermana Robbins! For those that don't know, Hermana Robbins is one of the girls from the other companionship that lives in our same house here in Miramar. We've been in the mission the exact same amount of time together and were in the CCM together so we're pumped!

Plot twist! Artemio is finally getting baptized this next Saturday, but I won't be there 🥲 I trust in the lords timing but dang it hurts to miss it by 3 days.
Stat check: Amount of times I have received chocolate from Artemio: 4
But all this leads me to my spiritual thought. A part from Russell M. Nelson's talk "Jesus Christ -- The Master Healer."
"I know that an all-wise Heavenly Father’s perspective is much broader than is ours. While we know of our mortal problems and pain, He knows of our immortal progress and potential. If we pray to know His will and submit ourselves to it with patience and courage, heavenly healing can take place in His own way and time"
It takes patience and courage to accept that someone else knows more than ourselves about whats best for us. Sometimes we really really think something is the thing we need, but God knows better. I've really been working on humility this week, because I think I could do better trusting that God knows best.
"8 ¶ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8-9)
