Mercedes, Letter #1 (First Transfer @ Seven Months. She's Training Again. And opening a new area.)

Rachelle's new area: Mercedes, Texas (Spanish-Speaking)
She is opening a new area for sisters, and she will be training again.

Looks just like Brownsville--without the ocean.


Apparently, football is HUGE in Mercedes.


...and so is the rodeo.

...and so are yearly balloon festivals.

...and so are boots.

...and so are floods.

Average temperatures in Mercedes are hotter than normal.

And theft is a thing. Murder, not so much. (Whew!)

Hola Todos!!!

I have hardly any time this week!  We have actually seen a lot of miracles this week that have been really amazing to see.  I am so sad to leave my incredible Hawaiian companion Sis. Jamile, but we got transfers this week and I found out my new area is called Mercedes!  I am going to be speaking SPANISH and TRAINING once again!!! This transfer has been a whirlwind but I know more miracles and blessings are soon to come!  I can't wait to meet my second greenie, and get to know my new area.  

I know I have learned that when we just let go and let the Spirit do all the work, that's when true joy comes - being an instrument in the hands of God.

I love you all!  I promise more details next week!

Love,

Hermana Clarke
