Heyyyy y'all!! So i guess president read my email because we had transfers and president sent me to cajamarca as a sacrifice. I'm the first American sister here in 7 years. Cajamarca is super cool! It's 6 hours from Trujillo and we are basically in the mountains. It gets pretty cold at night and in the mornings too. But the people are amazing. Here are some highlights from the past 2 weeks: •said goodbye to all my friends in California :) •had transfers...hopped on a bus at 10:30pm with two elders and made it to cajamarca at 6am •saw chickens, cows, donkeys, pigs, and sheep all in the first day here •my new companion is hna sandoya! She's from Ecuador! We were in a trio for a couple weeks when I was in La Victoria. She's the bestest ever. •we have three people on date for baptism! We invited David to be baptized on the 24th and he said yes...it's his birthday. He said, "es el mejor regalo de todos". •went to some waterfalls for pday! It's so pretty...
