Transfers are tomorrow and I am in a bittersweet state right now. Last Saturday we had a really cool charity activity here at the church. It was an event to donate church provided wheelchairs to handicapped people. It was a great reminder of the pricelessness of this life and the blessings the Lord grants to each and every one of us. I have been in this ward for over 5 months and have come to know and love so many people here. Yesterday the bishop invited me to share my testimony in sacrament meeting. Looking over the congregation, it was blissful to see all the familiar and all the new faces that have joined our ward recently. This morning, I was notified that I will leaving Ala Barreto tomorrow. I was hoping to stay at least one more transfer, it is so hard to leave all that is happening here. But I know I must go. I am excited to head off to a new area. Bangu (aparently to hottest area in the mission) will be a new adventure with new members, new contacts, new everything. I know this is an opportunity to stretch and grow as much I possibly can. This will certainly be a transfer of miracles!!
