so. president jaggi called us on friday afternoon but we didn't have his number saved and we were in a lesson so we let it go to voicemail. then after, we listened to it and he was like "hola hermanas!!! its president jaggi! i have to see both of you tomorrow at 12:30. so be at my office at 12:30 pm please" and we started FREAKING OUT. seriously. the rest of that day was TORTURE. we were like "well we're not disobedient so idk what else it would be.... its GOTTA be about puerto rico." we thought that one of us was going back or both of us or all 3 of us but had no idea how many. we could not SLEEP we were just freaking out for like 24 hours. on saturday morning, i could not FOCUS in my personal study. i decided to read the talk "called to the work" by david a bednar. great talk. definitely written just for me. we walked up to the mission office and president jaggi was like "we're waiting for a few more people" and then sister jaggi and hermana PETERSON walked in. so all THREE of us sisters who came from puerto rico were there. thats when we KNEW. there was SOMETHING GOING ON. president jaggi started by playing part of the talk that i had read that MORNING DURING PERSONAL STUDY, talking about how its not about WHERE you serve, but that you are called to the work. then he just says "we would like to thank you for all your work you've done here, and we recieved a call yesterday that said its time for you three to go back to your mission." AAAHHHHHHHHHH. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ok heres some other news
ogden is LIT. we just walk around and talk to people all day every day. the new ward is super small and its gonna grow a TON. everyone is so sad because they're replacing us with elders in their ward and everyone likes hermanas better HAHAH.
we had jazmine's baptism on saturday!!!!!!! a good last weekend in the utah ogden mission. i had to play the piano and i totally forgot so i didn't practice the songs and i had to play "he sent his son" and that song is SO JAZZY I MESSED UP SO BAD. HAHAHAAH. all the other missionaries that were there were just laughing at me and everyone else was probably just thinking "why is this girl playing the piano? shes terrible" hahaah. its ok. PEACE OUT. also i went to the baptism literally right after we found out we were going back to puerto rico so i told people in the ward and they were like "aw does this mean youre not going to be in our ward anymore??" and i was like "..... well i already got transferred...... hahhahaah. so i wasnt going to be anyways" hahahah. its ok. they were all very happy for me. and it was a nice baptism. jazmine had to get baptized literally like 15 times it was so awkward. her feet kept flying up hahahah. so finally her dad just stepped on her feet and dunked her. it took like 10 minutes hahahha. but im so happy for them!! the whole family was at the baptism. and hermano landeros was able to baptize her and he confirmed her. so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i said goodbye to the rodriguez family too which was SO SAD but its ok. ill be back for their sealing in the temple in a year. im gonna facetime them during their lesson with hermana bliss tonight and say goodbye again. SAD. theyre the best. i just love them so much. i never knew you could get so close to people on the mish but NOW I UNDERSTAND. we are eternal friends.
im so grateful for the time ive had here in the utah ogden mission!!!!!!!! seriously i cant imagine it any other way. like WHAT IF I HAD NEVER MET THE RODRIGUEZ FAMILY??????? MY LIFE WOULD BE SO SAD!!!!! one person was talking to me and said "im sure you didnt want this, to be taken out of your mission, and no one could have ever seen this coming, but im sure as you look back now you just shudder at the thought of never having been here" and its true! im so glad i have TWO missions now. and im so excited to go back to puerto rico and work SO HARD. im not sure why i was chosen to go back but i know that its all part of God's plan.
LOVE YALL!!!! next time i write ill be in PUERTO RICO!!!!!!
