"I´ve been transfered. I was taken from the most ghetto sector for Hermanas in our mission to one of the richest. I am now in a sector called Apoquindo, which is in the community Las Condes. It's a little bit more up in the mountains and it's beautiful. My new companion is named Hermana A. She is from Paraguay and she has 3 months in the mission. She is so sweet. We already get along super well and I´m super excited to spend this change with her. We´ve had some time to talk already since we´ve been together and her life has been pretty hard. She comes from a really broken home, a mom who sleeps around, a father who abandoned their family, a step-father who is an alcholic and abusive. Shes been in charge of raising her younger siblings since she was 5. She told me was in charge of caring for her 4 month old baby sister when she was 8! And her family wasn´t really supportive of her coming on the mission, so she arrived with basically nothing. Just one suitcase and only things for the summer. And she had a great first change with her trainer and then got put with the worst hermana in the mission. Poor thing. She's had a hard life and so far, a hard mission. But I´m excited we´re together.
We´re going to have a good change together."
