Week 42: Camanà-bound

Well, I got transfered. I am now on the coast of Perù in a town called "Camanà". It was a very teary goodbye to the people and places that I know so well in Tacna. I had almost 6 months there! One of my favorite memories from Sunday night was when I said goodbye to Edwarth. (He got baptized while I was there with Hermana Diamond) He was my only baptism in Grau, Tacna. He is 23 and kind of a punk but with a big heart.  We all sat down on a park bench and he started crying and told me how grateful he was for all that I taught him. He is planning on going on a mission next year. Of course, it totally made me start crying but in a nice way. Then he said a prayer and we shook hands and he walked away and Hermama Gould and I walked away. I will probably never see him again but I told him he has to keep the commandments so that we can hang out in heaven haha. I have made so many unlikely friends in my mission so far and I am excited to meet even more here in Camanà. My new companion is Hermana Ahumada. She is from Chile and we got to the mission at the same time. She was also in Tacna for a while. I will send more pictures of her next week
