Guess who's getting their VISA?! (Little hint: His last name is the stuff covering the ground in Nampa, Idaho).
So Elder González and I were studying together on January 26th (HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRICK), when the phone rang saying "President Sorenson". My heart exploded. Then Elder González answered and I heard President say, "Is Elder Snow available?" My heart was stapled back together and then exploded again when President began telling me that I'll be leaving to Mexico at the end of this transfer!! So I'm going to Salt Lake City tomorrow to meet with the Consulate, and then I'll fly back here the same day. Then I'm officially a Mexican missionary when I head there on February 20th! I've been praying for this moment for so long, and I am more than ready to leave the 15 degree weather to go to the 80 degree weather! That being said, I really do love it here in Idaho. I've met some of the most incredible people, and Elder González has definitely made me wanna go to Puerto Rico after the mishh. I just know that our Heavenly Father has a plan for all of us, and the plan he created for me took a very purposeful detour, not only for the people and friends I have served, but for me as well.
Other than that, not much has happened this week. Except the mission schedule changed a bit! A few changes were made to give the missionaries more accountability and agency in the work and also to give us a bit more sleep! We may now plan in the mornings and go to sleep at any time from 9:30-10:30. What a blessing! I've used it a lot already. But for Latin America (I'm going there), we'll be staying out until 10-10:30 because most Hispanics work until later, so we can't meet with them until later in the evening. Long story short, a lot of good things have happened this week.
WE ALSO GOT OUR CAR BACK A FEW DAYS AGO. Spent 1/2 of this transfer walking. Good practice for what's ahead ;))))
Anyway, I love y'all! Email me if ya can!
(P.S. Sorry I didn't take much pics this week. But to show how I felt about this past week, here's a picture of me being happy at Taco Bell;))
Vaya con Dios (en Idaho y en México tambien),
Elder Snow
