Elder Collison at the Johannesburg, South Africa Mission Training Center

Tuesday, August 18, 2015

Today starts off my 6th transfer. I'm getting moved... to K1! I was totally not expecting to stay in Rwanda. I was sure I was Uganda bound. But I'm super glad to stay. I passed around my journal Sunday for people to write in. Really glad I did. I'm just going to the other side of Kigali, a few miles away, but it will still be hard to ever see the people from my other two branches. I'll be with Elder Ercanbrack and finishing his training. I've stayed in the same house for the last almost eight months. It's going to be weird leaving. But I am excited. I'll be the first missionary to serve in all three branches of the church in Rwanda. I really love the people here. I've only had to say goodbyes twice now on mission and I'm still very near and see many of the people often but it always makes me realize how grateful I am for the Plan of Salvation. It's hard to say goodbyes but it comforts me that I know I'll be able to see everyone again some day. Especially my family.
Love you all!
