Hey yall this week went by kind of slow. Knowing I was getting transfered slowed down the week and then getting out here to Seguin was really slow the last few days because I know no one so it was hard to know what to do.
However last week we went by some families in castle hills and I said goodbye to them a couple of my favorite people we couldn't stop by because they were gone which made me sad. Then on Wednesday we had Elder McOmber, with us and he was going home. Everyone left home on Wednesday but for some reason his flight left on Thursday, so he was with us. I learned so much from him though he was an amazing missionary and will be missed.
Then Thursday I came out here to Seguin, something I need to say is that I thought my last apartment had a bad roach problem. This one has so many its crazy. They are just crawling all around in the apartment, they are in our room, bathroom, closet, and kitchen. They are everywhere. Surprisingly it doesn't bother me too much. Its a lot different out here! Everyone is so chill, the missionaries and people. I love this area so much already its a small farm town. There are so much cowboys and people with big trucks, on Sunday I just see trucks in the parking lot and families walking in with cowboy boots and cowboy hats in jeans. Then there little kids were doing the same thing haha. It was pretty cute to see the little kids in their cowboy stuff. Its different here though because all of these people are real cowboys not just wanna be cowboys. In Riverton there are just a bunch of wanna be's haha. When we drive outside of town its just straight fields of wheat or something and like yesterday we were driving to one of our friends and we were in the middle of nowhere when we just see about 200 trailer homes so its kinda weird.
There is a place in our area called McQueeney and its so beautiful! Oh my goodness its a small town thats next to the river and there are just huge homes on the side of the river its so neat.
My first lesson here was with this old guy out in the middle of no where that lives on a farm but he was so nice and it was so nice to be out there because he was just living a very simple life and had no technology. That's another thing about here is a lot of people don't have phones so we have to go stop by their house and hope they are home.
Covid here is nothing. I thought my last area was nothing but here people show up to church with no mask and we shake hands with everyone. None of the workers wear masks at the food places. Its back to normal here.
I've realized that God has a better plan for you than you thought you had. I was praying and hoping to stay in Castle Hills with Elder Wallin and all the others. I was super sad when I got the news I was leaving but now I know this is where I am meant to be. Sometimes when things happen or pop up we think that we had better plans or complain saying "why did this happen." However Heavenly Father knows us better than we know ourselves and he doesn't do anything that would ruin us. He gives us challenges or roadblocks in our lives to help us grow and become a better person.
Sorry this was a long one! Love yall. Email me and let me know how yall are doing!
