Dear Sister Lindsay,
You are herby called to serve as a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the Mexico Puebla South Mission.
These past few days have been some of the craziest days of my life. A week ago I was part of the Mission Mexico Guadalajara, but on Friday I was reassigned to Puebla South. I got here last night at about 9:30pm. This all started on Friday when we got a call from President Reyes. He told me that I had special changes, and he still wasn't sure where or with who, but that he would let me know a little later. So we thought everything was normal (honestly, I was hoping they were gonna send me to Puerta Vallarta haha). When two other American hnas called me and told me they also had special changes. I started thinking the worst, that they would change my mission, but I honestly thought that that was too crazy to happen. So my companion and I started joking around all day "What if my new mission is cold?". We got a phone call at about 7pm and President tells me I was assigned to serve in the RIVERSIDE CALIFORNIA MISSION! I started crying so much because I was so confused and because I did NOT want to be close to home. I said "President how is that possible??? That's where I am from”. And he said he didn't know. He explained to me, crying as well, that he didn't understand why they are taking us out and that he was very heart broken. I cried for a good 30 mins thinking I was being sent to Riverside. And then we get another call. "Oh Hermana I am so sorry! I messed up! I read where you are from not where you are going! You are going to the Puebla South Mission”. I was SOOO happy because at least I wasn't going home haha. The next day we had our last dinner at President's house. We had a final testimony meeting and it's safe to say once again we were all heart broken. I love Guadalajara with all my heart. I never imagined that they would have changed my mission. But I know that God knows better than me, and that I can trust in him. So far Puebla is very beautiful, and I know there is a reason I am here. I don't have a comapnion or an area, and I won't have one 'till next Monday when they have transfers. I love you all and sorry that I wrote so much! I am good and happy down here in Puebla. The church is true.
Love,
Hermana Lindsay
