Surprise Transfer to Cambita!

Jenna's new area, Cambita, near San Cristobal
Hi familia!

Guess who didn´t last 3 weeks in the capital? I just got emergency transfered to Cambita Garabitos (I'm back in San Cristobal!) and my new comp is Hermana Lopez from Mexico! I'm so excited. She's a great missionary. She's one of the missionaries who blanked my first area in Azua (meaning after they took out me and Hermana Rubio, Hermana Lopez and another missionary had to start from scratch). It was great to have her tell me about how everyone is doing!

Azua is thriving thanks to those sisters(and a new branch president)! If you read the blog post from May 20, there´s a guy named Jesús that got goosebumps when we read a scripture, and Hermana Lopez ended up baptizing him! He's a super super strong member now. Happy for Jesús!

They closed my last area in Los Alcarrizos, so no more missionaries are going there. I'm very happy to be in Cambita.😊

Also, General Conference (click here)! Woo!! Except I'm just gonna have to wait for the Liahona to come out with all the written talks because the internet was just the biggest headache. I watched it in English with another Hermana and sometimes we would finish a half hour after everyone watched it in Spanish because it would lag every .5 seconds. Very hard to follow.

President Nelson wasn't kidding about taking your vitamins (click here to watch)! I feel like this conference was like last conference, part two, and that their messages are to get people ready to receive the Messiah and help us obtain the highest happiness. I also noticed the main focus of all these changes they're making, starting with the shift from visiting teaching to ministering, is to take away any check box approaches to living the gospel. You cannot just be a church–on–Sunday member anymore! Wheat and tares divided like the Red Sea. Woosh! Also how many speakers said the word ¨distraction¨ and how many people spoke about ¨joy¨?

I hope everyone has a great week! I love you all!
Hermana Ludlam
