Sad Sad Transfers

6/20/2007

Okay, where to start, it has been a few interesting days, as it always is. It has really been a sad couple of days to tell you the truth. Hna monsalve left this morning for punta arenas, my old sector. We were sooooooooooooooooo sad. Seriously, we became suchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh good friends. We had such a good friendship, she told me everything about her life that had ever happened. We were seriously so so close. It seemed like we had known each other forever. We worked awesome together, we got along great, we taught great together, we were perfect together. She is one of the best friends that I have ever had. So it has been really hard. I have never felt so many contrary feelings in my life before, like on the mission. Ones of happiness and true sadness. I don’t know when I will ever see her again, I would do anything for her. We had the hardest time saying goodbye to each other. It sucked. So I am not going to lie, I am a little sad today. I know it is what the lord wants, I know it. But it is hard. I am here in frutillar with my other companion, hna Molina, she is from chile, from Rancagua, I think is what it is, it is south of Santiago. I am always with these Chileans. They are great. Hna monsalve and I had worked really really really hard this last week to give it everything we had to be able to see the miracles and show god that we are worthy of his blessings and sure enough we saw a lot of great things happen our last week together. This part of the mission really does stink a lot. It is just that you are with someone for so much time, all day, every day, for months and you get connected to them. We loved to talk we couldn’t even sleep at night because we would stay up talking. I truly felt the spirit strongly with her and truly felt god’s love. We made a great friendship and felt the love of Christ within our companionship. I feel so very very privileged to have been with her and gotten to know her. I thank my heavenly father for that experience. More than anythingggggggggg else we wanted to stay together. I was happy for her, she is in my old sector, I sent a bunch of letters with her to the people I know down there. I had fun thinking about them and what happened to me there, the people I met and all. It was awesome, I love punta arenas, it seems sooooooooo far away.

Lael, congrats on the baby, I hope everything goes well this next week with the babe, oh I guess I will probably write before you have him.

The cambios just stink because right as I really start to love someone, get really close, be friends with them, I leave or the lord takes me away from them. It is the way it needs to be, it just is a little fomeeeeeeeee. Such is life. Well, really that is all about me. I don’t have anything else to say really. It is freezing here, with a lot of wind. I know I have to step it up this cambio and be a great example being senor comp, she has been out for 9 months now. I will be completing a year on the mission this next week, crazy I know. I do love the mission. It is such a blessing to be here and get to know the people here. You truly to learn to love the people you share with and to really desire their salvation. I am known as the nosy one in the group because I am always asking questions and getting to know people. I love it, It is fun.

Thanks family for everything you do, for your help, support and love. The latinos here don’t have what I have had in my life. I feel very blessed. I feel blessed that god has trusted me with bringing the gospel into people’s lives. I love it. I hope all is well at home. Take care. Love ya all, hna pratt
