1-5-15 WE RIGGED THE CAMBIOS.... (Hmna Whitlock's Email)

God is TOO good. I am a witness this week (but really always) that God
HEARS and ANSWERS our prayers. And not only does He do that, but He
literally knows the desires of our hearts and they matter to Him. IF
we are obedient and have faith in Him and His ability to answer our
prayers, he will give us exactly what we want. (if it is also what we
need, and if it is in His plan of course) But I really know this to be
true. I've seen it so many times on my mission and really throughout my
life and I've had this testimony strengthened each of those times. Now,
I am sure you are all wondering why this specific week I am feeling
this way…
A little background first. Well. I have been praying specifically for
a few things this last cambio, I am not going to tell you them all,
just some.
1.      I had been praying for ways to better serve others, forget myself, be
more obedient and have a better relationship with my mission
president.
Answer to prayers number 1. I became a sister leader. Okay, I am
actually pretty scared about this, but I know it’s the exact thing
that’s going to let me be able to improve on all of that.
2.      I had also been getting really nervous about leaving Villa Rica
because I am literally in love with that place, and I did NOT want to
leave the jungle yet.
Answer to prayers number 2. My new area is San Ramon!!! I didn’t even
leave my ZONE! Even though I have been there 6 months, I'm in an even
more jungly area and as a sister leader, I will be able to go do
divisions with My old comp and visit Villa Rica!!!!!! I am so happy.
3.      Another few things I had been praying about was for a companion who
would make me better, and who I could have so much fun with, but also
work so hard with.
Answer to prayers number 3. Hermana Durfee and I are now companions.
Wait. WHAT?! That’s right the Hermana Durfee, my best friend in the
mission, one of thee nicest, friendliest and most Christlike people I
know is now MY COMPANION!!!! Unreal.
Also, apart from this being the best news ever, every one who knows us
in the mission, and a lot who don’t, are shocked. They think we rigged
the cambios or something because NO ONE ever thought that would have
happened. Except us… because maybe we DID rig them… mwahahaha.
In other news, we are just getting to know the area and the members. I
am so happy, I already LOVE the people here. OH! Also in this area,
there is the WORLD'S-okay maybe just Peru's- best ice cream shop and
 an Americanºengland food place with brownies and
cheesecake and pesto.. so this worries us. Hahaha.
I am just so happy and grateful to God . He is literally PERFECT. He
knows our desires, wishes and hearts. He knows us better than we know
ourselves and IF we let Him, He can and will answer our prayers and
make us into who He wants. I know this cambio is going to help me get
closer to my divine potential.
I love you all. Gotta go. Gotta love the jungle, No?
