Transfer

Thanks to our new friend Doug Gonzalez Rodriguez for the beautiful pictures of Costa Rica this week.
The computer Anna used doesn't have a place for a memory card and she wasn't able to send any.
Well the day has come....bye bye Santo Domingo. :( Seriously changes are the hardest part of the mission. I really felt like I wasn’t going to get transferred so it kinda caught me off guard. But first I’ll start by telling you about the beginning of my week.
So one night this week I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and opened the door to find a MOUSE!!!!!!! Soooo I slammed the door as fast as I could! Everyone was asleep so I didn’t know what to do. But my companion woke up because she thought I was sleep walking so she heard me make a crying noise and came to help me out. And as we were trying to figure out what to do that little stinker squeezed under the door and hid by a bag of trash.
So pretty much there wasn’t anything we could do. So we went to our room and put a towel under the door so it couldn’t get us in our sleep. But now I’m not in that house. Poor sister’s in Santo Domingo hehe.
I’m sorry I’m kinda scattered brained right now. This week went by way too fast. I forgot that it was transfers until Saturday so it was good that I could have my last week working hard and not thinking about leaving. 
So on Sunday at 6 I got a call from my district leader telling me I had changes. Since they called so early it was so hard to focus. Our last two lessons were with recent converts and with the branch president. The lesson with the recent converts really was a lesson in my mission I’ll never forget. It broke my heart to say bye to them but it felt good to tell a few of them I’ll see you in the temple :)

Goodbyes never feel real to me until I’m actually gone. So everyone was emotional but it just didn’t feel real until I was in the bus to San José, then I lost it. How embarrassing. I really can’t explain how much I love Santo Domingo. They really are all such close friends and I hope I can visit them at some point. My new area is La Sabana, Ciudad Colon which is like 2 hours from my old area. I really don’t know exactly where it’s at all I know is that I am in San José right now emailing.
My new area is seriously incredible. First off there is a member that is a taxi driver who gives us rides all the time. So him and a member picked us up with my luggage in San Jose and took us right to our house. My new area is beautiful!!!! And it is sooo much safer. Not that my last area wasn’t safe because it was, just this area feels like the people would never ever try to do anything. There is this park that is the cutest thing. TONS AND TONS kids that just love life ahh it feels like heaven!
My companion is hilarious. She kills me and it’s only been a day. She reminds me of Junior but a girl version. We got to visit some members yesterday and they all seem sooo nice. I feel very blessed to be in the area. We don’t have a cook but every day we have an appointment with a member for lunch!! It’s a ward so it’ll be able different from what I’m used it.
Oh my I can’t believe I didn’t mention this yet... HERMANA PETERS IS NOW IN SANTO DOMINGO!!!!!!!!! Her companion is Hermana Perez. They are sooooooo similar. Sweetest, most humble, cutest ever!!! So it makes me feel a lot better that my old area is in good hands. Yesterday I got to see her ahhh it was the best ever!!! It felt like a little part of home. We got to eat lunch together and everything. We are praying that when the mission gets split we will be in the same mission.
Uh oh got to go. I love you all so much. I’m so happy to be here and I love missionary work!!!!! You are all in my prayers. Be good :)
