Queridos Amigos,
This week was absolutely amazing! We were in Adrogue this
week with Hermana Ochoa and her new companion, Hermana Callister. It was a
great experience because Hermana Callister just started her mission. She's only
been here for 3 weeks! It was great to hear her talk about the crazy things
that we do here. For me, they've all become the norm, but I remember when they
seemed strange to me too.
She talked about giving kisses to people on the cheek and
clapping our hands outside instead of knocking on the door.
She asked to see pictures of me when I started the mission
and she said, "Wow, you changed a lot! Why do we change?! I don't want to
change!"
Little does she know, but that change is the most beautiful
thing. I love seeing my companions change and I especially love seeing the
changes in people that come to know the gospel. That change is repentance in
action. I wouldn't trade anything for the change that I've seen in myself. I
think and act differently now. I still like the same books and the same music.
I'm still me, but I'm not at the same time.
That's one of the reasons that the mission is the best thing
ever. We change. We change to become more like Christ. We learn to forget
ourselves and serve others. I hope that you can all see changes in your lives
thanks to Jesus Christ and his sacrifice.
I love you all so much!
con amor,
Hermana Chaffin
