CHANGES 

¡Hola! So the time has finally come. I was changed out of San Martin. After being 7 months in one ward, it feels so weird to be changed out. There were a lot of people I was sad to leave. Agustin who is progressing so well to baptism, Magarita who is so strong in the faith. Juan Lorca with all his desire to come back to church. The members have all been great to me and I really do love that ward. Attached with this are some photos one of me and Agustin with Hermano Comas and another with Margarita and her family and finally me with the missionaries of the ward (who I have come to love so much) [note..there were no pictures attached to the email.] it was sad to go but I know the work goes on in that sector. I hope to be able to come back to see Agustin get baptized.

Well I got changed out and sent up to San Miguel. Which is the richest zone in all of our mission and my sector is one of the richest sectors in the entire mission. It’s such a change I’m used to the poorer parts of the mission and I have come to love those places with all their defects and dangers. Now I’m in a new world and its going to take a bit to get used to it. The sector is also about 4 times bigger than my last sector with 100 times more people it’s so different. Here in san Miguel there are a lot of apartment buildings building of 20 or 30 floors we have about 10 or more in our sector it’s so big. 

I’m with Elder Ferloni, he is from Paraguay (I think I spelt that right). It’s going to be a good couple of changes here since he has only been here for 2 changes. I imagine that we will be together for 2-3 changes. I’m surprisingly low on things to say today. It just been crazy on with the change so I have forgotten much of what has happened during the week. 

On my mind today has been how we measure success cause if we think there are many different ways that we can see success. Looking back on these last 7 months in the sector in numbers the success does not show but when I think about how  much I have grown how much I have learned this change the work I was able to do I feel like I had success. Our mission president has been talking a lot about this lately about what is success and really it has helped me see. he talks about how a lot of the times ``there are things we do that we count that don’t count and there are things that we don’t count that count`` truly if we can say we are giving are all if we are doing all we can to work for the lord doing as he would have us do we have success. Never compare yourself to others or those around you focus on what the lord wants you to do and do it and you have success.

I hope you all have a great week
