Changes!

Well, transfers turned out MUCH differently than any of us were expecting! Sister Hortal finally got to go train a greenie, and I got a new companion AND we got moved to a new area and more than half of the STLs got changed. Since the new mission president will only have 2 weeks before the next transfer, and since 85% of the leadership was going home next transfer, President Maluenda opted for changing out the "old" part of the leadership for younger missionaries to help with the transition, so we have almost completely new Zone Leaders and STLs and a lot of new District Leaders, too. My new companion is Sister Moore - my mission baby! We're excited to be back together :)

I'll be honest, it's been the most stressful three days of my entire life since Monday, but things are going well and I'm hanging in there - I know once we get over the first little hump of having no idea what we're doing it will be even better! We now cover the entire two zones of Mission and McAllen (if you look on google maps, it's the cities of Edinburg, Mcallen, Mission, over to Pharr and Weslaco etc) in YSA. we combined what used to be two areas into one, and we probably won't actually work in all of that area, but we're technically zoned to it! Pretty crazy.

This morning in personal study I was having a hard time focusing caused by all of the things on my mind, but the thought came into my head of "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding - in all thy ways acknowledge Him and he will direct thee for good" and I realized that honestly not knowing what I'm doing lets me be closer to God because I literally don't have anywhere else I can turn to. I think it's something that God's keeps reminding me of, because this is the fifth time I've whitewashed an area in my mission! 

Well I love you all! Have wonderful weeks :)

Love,

Hermana Reynolds

P.S. I don't know my new address - just use the mission office ( 200 W La Vista Ave) for now
