Soo we got transfer news this last weekend and I'm saying goodbye to one of my favorite places!!! I have loved my time in Vigo and I've learned soo so much about myself and my Savior here!
I'm headed across the country to an area called Pamplona!! Instead of boarding Portugal I will now be boarding France! (Heyy chasee) I'm opening up the area after it's been closed for a couple of transfers, and training!! Guau guys I am so nervy and excited and everything that one person can feel. I was never expecting to whitewash train but I guess God trusts me so I trust him too. Praying I'm as good of a mom as my mom was to me! (Hehe Rob ily)
There are 25 greenies coming in and so much that's ahead. I'm growing up in the mission ahhh, the work is moving along and God is preparing his children everywhere. I'm so lucky to be his servant and I know that this big change will be so good!!
So because I'm leaving Vigo I want to take a lil walk down memory lane and share some of the best memories from this lovely place...
- One of the most beautiful cities and easily the prettiest place I've ever been to for christmas time. Never have I ever seen so many lights in my whole life. Everything was brighter, the people were happier, and the Christmas spirit filled the whole city. We've loved going on moring runs to the beach, taking ferry boats to the island, and going on hikes. Pictures just do not do this place justice!
- I have been in 2 different trios here in Vigo! The trio life is definitely a different experience that taught me lots of patience, love, and unity but I wouldn't trade any of my companions for anything because of the lessons that I've learned and the people that we've all become together!!
- There has been so many fiestas here! If you know me you know that I am a party girl in a party world and I've loved loved loved it. This weekend there was a big celebration for the reconquista of Vigo. There were so many people dressed up and markets and food and dancing! 💃 It was in this huge square by this massive human/bird/fish statue that's actually really ugly (see below) but a big symbol of Vigo. There's soo many weird statues and monuments here but they're all really cool to look at!! We also met this lit columbian couple there that came to church yesterday!
- Some more beautiful people made some beautiful covenants with God this week! I'm so proud of them. These past couple of transfers we have helped lots of people progress towards baptism and we've found and reactivated so many non-active members. I'm so thankful for every single friend and member that I've been able to get to know and teach here. I have seen people absolutely change for the better and I will never forget the way these people's testimonies have grown and the way that mine has strengthened because of them! There's been so much good work here and I just love these people!! 🌊
Soo I've truly loved it here if you can't tell. But if I'm being super honest, I hated it at first. I thought that there was no way that I would be able to love the people here as much as I did in my last area. I didn't even know that it was possible to have so much love in my heart for so many people. But I do!! There's been some really hard parts, and Vigo has tested me in ways that I never imagined, but I can confidently say that I've grown so much because I've been able to recognize God working through me and blessing me every single day. This place will always be so special to me ❤️🔥
Well, see you guys in Pamp with my hija!!! Les quiero muchÃsimo!
