Wow! What a crazy week this has been! Basically when we went and visited the members here this week, we told them that my companion was going to be changed (transferred), but hey, Heavenly Father had a different plan for us that we weren’t expecting at all!!
So this week and for about the last month and a half, I’ve had a horrible cough and this week I got a super bad ear and throat infection - I still have it, but it’s all good, ha! Anyways, we were resting in the house on Saturday and we got a call from President Conde and he told me, “Elder Blake. You have a change of assignment. You are going to Juchitan in the Istmo here in Oaxaca and you are going to be Zone Leader!!!!” Goodness, I was so dang excited hearing that, but we definitely weren’t expecting it! I really wanted to stay here another change, but this is what God wants for us so we have to accept it!!
Anyways to finish up, we had the opportunity today to say goodbye to a lot of families and it absolutely touched my heart as I could see maybe just a little impact I was able to have on their lives here in this area serving the Lord!! But I can tell you all one thing - and that is that they have had a lot more impact on my life than I have had on theirs!! I feel that way so much with this mission. I have received SOOOOOOOO much more than I have given and these are the blessings that the Lord has prepared for us as we are willing to serve him!!
I’m sorry I won’t be able to write you this week, but I sure do love you all soooooo dang much!!
Elder Blake
P.S. I got three shots in my butt today. I can barely sit down and tomorrow I will be sitting all day long on the bus. If you can, please send extra prayers my way. Hahaha. I sure do love you all so much!!
