Week 33: February 17-23, 2022 Missions are hard

Hey Everyone, Not going to lie. These weeks have been so hard here. I thought adjusting would be easier because i have had to adjust to so many areas already on my mission. Yeah... different areas are a lot easier to deal with than completely new missions and countries.  What i have realized is how much growth can happen when we are outside our comfort zone. And how much Jesus Christ cares about each of us. I have felt His love for me so much these weeks. And whenever I am struggling, i know i can turn to Him. I was able to share an experience i had before my mission that helped me come on my mission during a time when i really did not think i could do it.

It's actually crazy that I made it here haha. After traveling for way too many hours and being awake for way too many hours, I finally made it to Guatemala on the 3rd. My new compaƱera is Hermana Madrigal. She is from Nicaragua and has been out 3 months. She's so amazing. No one is a perfect missionary, but she gets pretty darn close. I'm so grateful she's my companion!  So far Guatemala is what I thought it would be like...
