These past two weeks have been very difficult.The adjustment to Georgia has not been so easy. Frequently, I catch myself reminiscing about when I was in San, Roque, my old amigos, the "familiar mission work", haha even the ridiculous summer heat. However, as you can imagine, this type of mindset can put anyone for a loop. And oh boy it definitely has put me for one.
A couple weeks ago, I met a Sister who was just about to come home. The Sunday before she left, the mission held a zoom call for all the departing missionaries. In the meeting, she shared one thought that I will never forget. "The mission is supposed to break you". At first when I heard this, I was like well if anyone, ANYONE knew that no one would step on the plane. Haha and if they do decide to take that plane ticket, maybe they're a little crazy. However, these past couple weeks have made me think of the opposite. Without humility, we can not and we will not change. Without his Atonement we may not ever learn of His strength or how willing he is to help us. And without that plane ticket, we refuse to go on what could be the greatest spiritual adventure of our lives. Guys. The mission is hard, haha this past week I wanted to go home so bad. But I am choosing to trust in Him. To trust that maybe his Plan for me is something greater than I could ever plan for myself in my whole lifetime. And every night I have the opportunity to show my humility on my knees by asking for His strength, His hope, and His power.
Also, to answer the subject line. The oddest thing in Georgia has to be the ducks. Hahaha they are incredibly ugly in the nicest way possible. Also duck crossings are actually a thing. Right now, there are a freakin ton of baby ducks. So naturally, whenever they feel like it. "Mom" and her 12 ducklings cross the street and literally stop traffic. Like 7 times a day. This is not normal guys. People do not stop for ducks. Or maybe they do? Ehh shoot me an email if I'm wrong. Haha
Alsoooooo. Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes. They meant the world to me. Haha also a birthday in "quarantine" is a little bit different, but let me tell ya.... it was a p.a.r.t.y.
Love you all!
Please if there is anything I can do for you guys, LET ME KNOW :))
