Soooooo lots of new news. I'm in a new area, we've got a new mission president... It's a bit chaotic, to be sure. But hey, that's what we live for as missionaries, isn't it? So, President Staker arrived on Wednesday, and President Parry went home the next morning. We're officially under the jurisdiction of an entirely new person. We had a small devotional over Zoom as a mission to get to know him a bit better, but I still haven't actually met him, so I'll let you know whenever that actually happens.
As for transfer stuff, I got sent right back to the same stake I left three months ago. In a different ward, but all the same. Should be quite the cycle. My new area is in the bottom left corner of the mission, right in the middle of the city. So we've got delightful things like the Historic Center of the city, a massive street market that we're not allowed to enter, all that fun stuff. Plus, lots of public transportation, so if I don't feel like walking, I no longer have to. ;)
And to wrap things up, let's go with a spiritual thought! I was reading a talk from the last general conference, titled "Conversion is our Goal". It shares a title with one of the sections in the introduction of Come Follow Me. And I really liked the emphasis placed on the necessity of the Holy Ghost in the conversion process, not just for people who are learning about the church for the first time, but also for all of us who have been members for a long time. There's always more we can learn! So yeah, I liked that part.
