I'm Happy My Feelings and Promptings Were Right...

Hey dad,
My week was good for the most part. I found out about 2 hours ago that
i am being sent over to a different area now. Its in a different part of the mission
completely and not in Mendoza or San Juan. So now i will have served
in all three provinces of this mission, thats cool. I really didnt
want to leave this area because it is just starting to turn around.
Ive been working my tail off more than usual the last few weeks and i
didnt know why. Now i have to just pack up and leave everything i did
here in the hands of the other missionaries coming in. I am a bit
nervous because we were going to be doing a lot of great things in the
month to come. They had just put us in charge of a stake mission
activity to happen in july and i was way pumped to organize that and
do all that stuff. Oh well! The other missionaries will take over and
love it in place of me. The place im going is called 25 de Mayo. I
dont know if you can google earth that exactly but trying never hurt
anyone. Love you dad stay sane and try to get some kings that arent
minnows ;)

Hey mom,
               So yeah i am exactly in guaymallén where she lives but
on wednesday they are sending me to a different place called San Luis.
As missionaries we arent really allowed to drink the mate with the
bombilla with the people because it usually wastes hours of working
time but everyone in the whole world down here drinks it. But we drink
mate cocido and when i get home i am definately going to her house to
drink some and chat in castellano :) I really wish we could go to
Buenos Aires and do something for the re-dedication but i think we
just get to watch it over sattelite. This area is going to have some
good success in the next coming months, too bad i have to leave a far
ways away. I think that it is about a 4 hour bus ride away. I had a
feeling i was leaving yesterday, and in the night it was such a strong
feeling that i just couldnt deny that i was going to leave here. Then
this morning we get a phone call and it was all true. I felt a lot
more calm after they said i was going because i basically knew it from
the beginning. Im happy my feelings and promptings were right but
frustrated that they had to be right in that way haha. But everything
is good and im going where He wants me to go with a smile and my will.
Love you mom!

  1. I had dinner with a husband and wife tonight, and had the chance to talk about my two Nephews who are doing great things. I explained what a mission was, and how it is not uncommon to have tough challenges and great blessings. I decided to read a portion of Hayden's blog to this couple. I read the part from a few weeks ago when he was robbed, but noted how Hayden's attitude remained awesome. Anyway, let Hayden know his story helped them to understand the Lords work a little bit better.
