This week felt like a crazy whirlwind but I loved every bit of it! Leaving an area is so hard but amazing things are happening and are in store for Uvalde and I know that they are in good hands, Sister Jesperson is amazing! I was really nervous to find out where I was headed but the verdict is......... San Pedro Ward right north of my first area! It is semi similar but more well off than a lot of the parts we normally worked in. The ward here is fantastic! So ready and willing to serve and help out they love the missionaries and there are a bunch of older single sisters and those are always a favorite of sister missionaries because they are just so sweet! We did a service project for one of them.. Sis. Tatsch and cleaned up her crazy overgrown backyard. First time ever using a gas weed wacker, those things are intense but it was so so fun even if my arm is still sore. :) There is lots of work to do in this area and we are really excited to get to it! Going out with a lot of faith and a lot of energy we were blessed tremendously to see beautiful miracles like having the first man we knock into being Victor, this sweet younger guy who has been searching for God and studying for awhile now. It was entirely inspired that we stopped by when we did and the next day when we actually got to teach him he just ate up the Book of Mormon and was so excited to learn more! Also one of the investigators the sisters were teaching before had hit a rough patch and they weren't sure how to move forward but we met with her this week and were able to figure out her concerns.. she is incredible. And also a former investigator that had dropped us a few months ago we were asked to stop by from the ward mission leader.. i love inspired leaders.. at first it seemed we were unwanted he left to do to the store we talked to his kids for a bit and headed to the car.. as we did he drove back and pulled over to us and asked us when we could come back.. time is a very precious thing and I know that God has timing for everything. It was a huge tender mercy and hopefully this is Jessie's time to fully accept the wonderful blessings of the gospel! I am so excited for this next transfer great things are in store.. Sis. Fritz my new companion is from Florida and worked at disney world for two years before her mission.. that is a pretty good indicator of how much fun we will have togther :) all is well! love yall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

with love sis camarella
