I'm pretty distraught about leaving the area, though. Aura's baptism is on Saturday and we won't be able to see it. In fact, we haven't even told her we are leaving yet (we are both getting transferred out). We don't know how she will take it.. she really loves us and calls us her ''Ángels" and always refers to us as her Grandkids. She was super excited about us doing the baptism and confirmation, and when I suggested earlier last week that her Member friend, Alex Perez, do them, she replied that she wouldn't want anyone else to do the ordinances because we were the ones who "taught her the truth." There's a lot of work to still be done. This week we had a really good week, and saw a lot of success and have 3 people lined up for baptism. I'm just really sad I won't get to see all that happen. I am however, grateful that I got to be part of it and that most importantly the branch is growing and that Andres, Aura, and Edin are changing their lives and coming closer to Christ.
I know that God has a plan, and I'm needed in Doral for some reason. It is right next to my first area I served in--about a stones throw away. I will be able to see Felix, Juan, and some of my other recent converts. i'm excited to solidify my Spanish a bit better as well, as I'll be back in the best of another country that is Miami. I'll have my new address next week.
