Wow, I have been really homesick lately, and I can't seem to shake it. The Lord blesses me so much with peace and comfort, but today has been one of the worst for homesickness. I read today in the "Making the Most of Your Mission" book to be submissive to the Lord, and trust that he will bless me with the desires of my heart, when the time is right. I need to have faith in that and be patient. It's hard, but if anything is worth it, it is not going to be easy. Well, my first transfer is almost over, and I'm getting nervous about what could happen if I get a new comp. I hope that he is a hard worker and is obedient. I wouldn't mind staying with E. Cain, just because I know that we would get things done. Me and E. Cain have been getting along better. I figured it out - when he is grumpy I just have to stay positive, and when he gets angry and is rude I just have to be rude back. It works our pretty well. I also hope that I stay in San Ramon, but overall want to do what the Lord would have me do. I have 2 great years ahead of me and a lot to learn, but I know that if I rely on the Lord, and be obedient and work hard, that I can do it. I'll be okay and have a great mission.
