Cambios

Hey Everybody!
I wanted to thank everybody for all that you have done for me and for your constant support. I think I am kind of hitting that point where I don't worry about how many emails I am getting or who is or is not writing me. I am just happy where I am and I don't want to change for the world.
Its very odd how that works. I am coming to a point on the mission where I am officially in the swing of things, I can go and say pretty much whatever I want, and people for the most part understand me. I am in that dead space of time between being out in the mission and getting everything ready to come back home. That sounds so weird and remote to me now, thinking of going home. It seems like a very abstract concept to me right now; everyone has just been petrified in space and time for me, even though I know that its not true. I know that when I come back, everything will have changed.
That's a common thread in the mission. There was an investigator names Jackeline who really didn't have any hopes of progressing. her husband drank too much and occasionally came back home and beat her. She couldn't progress in that kind of environment until things got set in order or something happened. The other day, I felt we needed to go visit her. She answered the door immediately. It turned out that her husband left their family the day before with no money at all. She is now one of our star investigators.
I shortened that story a bit because I'm honestly not sure if I've shared it before or not. It just thrills me how many changes take place in such a short period of time. I'm so thankful for where I am and who I have become because of it. Thank you everybody for everything. I love you guys!
Con Amor,
Elder Westover
