March 10

Well, I'm officially back 10 minutes away from Arraijan! I am now in La Chorrera, the Barrio Centro ward, serving as JUST Hermana Bond. No leadership responsibilites, no worries, just being a good missionary and dedicating myself to my Father in Heaven.

My new companion is Hermana Cabral, and she's from BRAZIL! How cool, huh? She is a very dynamic girl, speaking 4 other languages, and now learning spanish! She studied at BYU- Idaho before the mission, and she is completing 4 months on the mission today! I am so happy to be working with her, and we have already seen so many wonderful blessings in our companionship. One thing I love that she says is, "BUT ITS HARD!" We laugh a lot, and we find ways to be better. She is a forever-friend. She is incredible.

Yesterday we participated in a rescue in one of the wards in our stake. We were assigned to visit a family with the primary president, Hermana Fabiola. We instantly hit it off, and after our 2 hours together, the 3 of us were just having a blast serving in the Lord's work together!

I testify that as we serve and honor the Lord, He will provide the way to accomplish our dreams and aspirations. I know with certainty that our talents, gifts, and abilities will be magnified and multiplied as we more earnestly find HIM.

I love you all!
