I AM SAN MARCOS

HOLA! 🤗

Well, I wasn't expecting this at all, but I had an emergency transfer back to San Marcos (so happy)! On Friday in the morning, we got a phone call from President Goodman, announcing an emergency change that was going to occur that same day. I had just a couple of hours to get everything packed up, say goodbye to some people, and head out to the terminal in Mazatenango. My new are is Serchil, and my companion is Elder Johnson. He is from my group. We came down on the same flight to Guatemala. He is from Idaho and is a great guy. His companion got switched to my old area, Samayac. We are super excited because this is the first time that we have been in the same zone together in our whole mission, and now we're companions! 

My new area is huge. I'm the new district leader in this district. In our area, we are covering a total of five units/areas: Serchil (branch), San Lorenzo (group), Tejutla (branch), Tacana (closed group), and Laguna Seca (branch). We have lots of space to work in, but we are going to focus on just a few of these places, and also focus on working with members and references. These are our last 3 weeks in the mission so we have to make the best out of them. This area is what is referred to as the 'Altiplano' of San Marcos (High-Plain) - and it is SUPER COLD. Serchil is way colder than any of the other areas in San Marcos and San Pedro. Since it's winter, we also are seeing lots of rainfall. Hopefully we can stay warm! This last transfer is going to be great. We are ready for anything and more specifically, MIRACLES!
