Caves and Lightning!
What a week. Monday we hooped. Tuesday we had distrito council. Wednesday back in área. And then Thursday we had an Elders' reunión and interviews with President. It was a super busy week. We had to wake up at 5 am more than we didn't.
But with my interview with President, I told him that I've contacted every single person from border to border in Patalup. I told him that all we can do right now is help the ward and continúe to search for service, work, or stuff to do. So he told me he will be taking missionaries out of Patalup and will be moving us. I'm not sure where I'll go, but I have an idea. But this week we have to let everyone know they will have to be without missionaries for however long. It's going to be sad leaving Patalup, as I have been here for 4 1/2 months now, but I think I'm ready.
One thing that I have thought about lately as I study is how we always need to be progressing. As I've looked back at how I was preparing for my mission a year ago, I know that my if my younger self could see me now they would be so proud of me. And what a cool feeling that is. If they could see how much I have grown and learned and become in my 10 months almost of being a missionary, how cool it would be. I challenge all of you to make goals so that yourself now will be proud of the person you are in the future. I know it will help you forward.
This upcoming week will be my last in Patalup, and I've started to feel so grateful to have had the time I've had here. This place is like no other, and I will always remember my time here.
Today for P-day we went to the coolest and biggest cave ever. We had to walk in the knee deep water through the cave and come out on the other side. Look at the picture--they are sweet.
Super busy day and week, but I love you all and challenge yourself to be better.
