So I got to my new area! It was really sad saying goodbye to all of the members and all of the missionaries but I was ready for a change too :) I love my new area so much :) it is one of the hardest areas in the mission but when I talked to other missionaries who had served here they always say that they learned the most about Jesus Christ and the Atonement serving here. So I'm excited for that. I have been here a few days and it is a lot of walking and rejection. It is a little tiny town out in the middle of the country with a tiny branch that has been here for 30 years. We had 4 members in church yesterday. It is really a great experience to see these members out here because they are truly faithful to the gospel and love the church. I have been here 5 days and I already have a huge love and respect for the members, I don't think I could do what they do. They are really the best. I will learn so much here and I'm excited. The next town with missionaries is an hour away so we never see anyone else. So I'm glad I really like my companion. We really hit it off and get along really well. He is from Navoo and played soccer at BYUH for a year then came on the mission. He is pretty young on the mission to. He has 8 months out but is a beast. I'm excited for this transfer and I hope we will be together two :)
We don't really have any investigators that we are teaching here so we have been doing a lot of finding (which I love) and just in the few days that I have been here I have seen the Lords hand really powerfully in the work here. I have seen that he doesn't leave you alone and that he is with you even more in the harder times. As we have been street contacting there have been a few times when I have recognized the Spirit tell me who to contact and it was really an amazing experience. It's crazy I have never felt more guided before. Missionaries are truly representatives of Christ and it awesome. I love the Spirit and I now have a strong testimony that the Holy Spirit guides.
Also this town is really pretty it is built on two mountains right next to each other so when we walk it is either up hill or down hill. I might be losing some weight being here haha. Also they have this weird fountain thing in the middle of town that is called the fountain of youth. The water comes from a natural underground spring and is fully of vitamins and minerals but is super gross. The people here love it for some reason and the people who drink it regularly live so much longer and look so much younger which is actually really cool. I love it here and I'm happy that it will be my home for a while :)
Also here is my new address :) send me letters :)
