So as I said, I finally got transferred to a new area. My new area
is called Liberdade. It´s in a city called Campina Grande. I will admit I
did not want to leave Bayeux. I had been there so long and I had so
many friends in the ward and they were all sad that I had left. But you 've
got to get used to change in the mission. Otherwise it´s going to be
very hard. I keep listening to a talk by Elder Bednar that says: You are not called to a certain place, but you are called to serve. So
I guess I just need to muscle it up and accept that I won´t be in the
same area forever, but to always remember the memories I had in that
area. I also need to accept the change of Companions. Elder Goodwin is
still in Bayeux Centro, and I´m in a trio now. I have one Companion that's from Iowa. His name is Elder Strong and he´s as new as I am. The
other is a Brazilian named Elder Fernandez who´s been in the mission
just a little bit less than Elder Goodwin. I will miss Elder Goodwin,
but I can see that this trio is going to be fantastic. I can´t wait for
the stuff we are going to accomplish here in Campina Grande. I´ll miss
Bayeux and all the people I taught there but as I said before we are not
called to a place, but called to serve. I think that this phrase can
apply to all. Never accept the same thing. Always change and adapt in
life. Life will never be the same. It is always changing. We will not
have the same thing in life because that´s not what God created it for. I
know that adapting to the things that God does is very important. When
we are transferred or something happens to you at home. It is all part
of God´s plan for us. I know these things to be true. I end this email
with my testimony. I love and pray for you all everyday. Keep following
the Lord and always find time to serve him and he will bless you throughout your life. I say these things in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord
and Saviour, Amen.
Elder Jacklin
