Dear Friends and Family,
This week has been a good one, and as it turns out, I will not finish my mission here in El Paso, but I am being transfer up to the north tomorrow. To tell you the truth, I’m excited to go see the other half of the mission for once. I have not spent much time there and am excited for what lays in store for me there.
As I’m getting ready to leave not only El Paso but the mission in 4 months, I feel like I’m leaving home again to go to another strange place that I know so little about. It makes me sad to think that I’m leaving really all the friends I have here in El Paso, but I’m sure that I felt pretty similar a little over 20 years ago. I knew then that when I left, that I would be able to grow and progress more, that Heavenly Father would always be with me and that he had a need for me in the places I would find myself. I’m sure back then I responded with bravery and so why not now?
I was surprised with the goodbye I am getting from the people down here in this ward. Even though I have only been here for 3 months, I am surprised with the people that I have had contact with and how much they care for me. It’s awesome to realize the affects that the spirit can have on relationships and how much they flourish is such short time. I think we have 8 appointments in the 3 hours tonight all of which told us to come hungry.
Other than that there’s not much I have to say. I love you all so much.
Elder Stewart
