Welcome to Valencia!

4/26  So as you know this week was transfer week and as sad as I was, I got transferred from Tarragona. I'm writing all of you from Valencia now. There are three wards here and I am in Valencia 1 with Elder Lightfoot from South Jordan Utah! Of the little I have seen and heard of Valencia, I feel like I am going to love it! There is a lot of paella here, and it gets super hot! I'm excited to get to know the area, and make new friends with the families here. It was really hard to leave Tarragona though.

The lessons I learned in Tarragona will never be forgotten. There is where I truly learned the importance of having a good relationship with the members. I learned what it means to work hard. I learned the importance of diligence and perseverance. I learned that when things don't always go the way you planned, it's because the Lord has better plans for us. I will never forget the friendships I formed, and more importantly, the changes I have seen people go through. Saying goodbye to Pamela was one of the most difficult things I have had to do in the mission. She has grown so much and it is truly incredible to see how much she has progressed since her baptism. I know that she will be a very strong member.

Anyways, I love you all! Don't have much time thanks to travel, but I hope you all have a wonderful week!!

¡Un abrazo querido amigo!
