Adiós El Paso :(

May 24, 2021

Hola a todos! 

As you all can see from the title of this email, the day I never wanted to come is here. We got transfer news last night and I'll be going up to Albuquerque. I really am so so sad to leave all the of amazing people here in El Paso. They have changed my life forever and truly will be my friends for eternity. I will be leaving a part of my heart here in the Sun City, just north of the border, in the El Paso 3er Barrio. Definitely some hard goodbyes coming up in the next couple days but more than anything I'm really so humbled and grateful for my 7 months here. As well, I have faith and trust in the Lord that there is more work to be done and amigos to find in ABQ! I will still be in a Spanish area which is a huuge blessing and I heard my comp is an absolute stud so those are all great things! I'll also have some more responsibilities as well which will be a fun adventure and great learning experience. Above all, I trust in the Lord and His infinite wisdom and love. Not much else to report on after just having pday on Friday, but I love you all so much!!

Mosíah 18:30-31

"...how beautiful are they to the eyes of them who there came to the knowledge of their Redeemer; yea, and how blessed are they, for they shall sing to his praise forever.

"And these things were done in the borders of the land..." 

So long from la tierra prometida, cerquita de la frontera, El Paso! Hasta que esté en Nuevo México! Los amo!!

Con todo el amor,

Elder Jackson
