It feels kind of weird that I am finally going to be leaving this area. When I first came here I had mixed feelings about it. I think that every single Elder that had served in this area told me good luck before I came here. This area was hard but not impossible. I have seen a lot of growth in the branch and members here and I am so grateful I have had the chance to serve them and grow with them. When I first started serving in this area I thought that the day that I got word  that I would be leaving would be a great day but it wasn’t, don’t get me wrong I am excited to go to a new area but when I got the call that I was going to be transferred  I felt an overabundance of love for the people here in Odessa. I know that was a tender mercy of the Lord.
