Diligent Worker in the Lord's Vineyard

Jenna now lives in San Cristobal, next to the capital!

Hi family,

I'm in San Cristobal! It's close to the capital. My new companion is Hermana Acalá. She is from Mexico. They are whitewashing my other area. It's been a crazy past 24 hours. (This means that both sister missionaries were transferred out of Azuá and Jenna spent the night cleaning and packing to move today. She is about 1.5 hours away from her first area now. She is exhausted!)

I am tired.

I am an AUNT! Congratulations to Grant and Rebecca!! And happy birthday to Grant!! And happy Father's Day to fathers.

I don't have a way to upload photos in this area, sorry. I will try to find an adapter.

This Friday was the second time Hermana Rubio and I woke up and there was a bazillion fly larvae things worming around the floors. We spent a few hours flooding the house and sweeping all our problems out the front door and down the steps into the streets. Now I'm not in that house anymore.

This week I read in Jacob 5 in the Book of Mormon, also known as the Allegory of the Olive Trees (or the Allegory of Our Savior's Love). I always skimmed over it, thinking that the symbolism of grafting wild olive branches into natural olive trees was too deep for someone like me to understand. But this week I read it and I understood it and it made me happy. I want to be the kind of servant that works diligently in the Lord's vineyard. The Lord of the vineyard stressed that time is running out and it helped me feel the urgency that Elder Cook wanted us to feel when he talked to us in the CCM (Missionary Training Center in Mexico).

I love my family very much. Have a great week.

Love,
Hermana Ludlam
