Well. We got transfer calls on Saturday and I was informed that it is finally time for me to leave Odessa. My heart dropped so hard when they told me. I love Odessa SO MUCH!! I am very grateful that God has given me the chance to be here for so long. I have a real big and awesome Mexican family here in Odessa. I have been here for 10.5 months! I only lack 10 weeks from being here for a whole year. How nuts is that?! Oh well. All good things must come to an end. I am getting transferred to Hobbs Spanish! "Oh. I must be reading the wrong email. Caleb was in Hobbs Spanish last year." No no no, do not fret, this is the right email! I'm going BACK to Hobbs Spanish! I am real excited. It's not a Zone Leader area any more, but I will still have the same truck and apartment and stuff. Hobbs is my second favorite area, so I am REEALL content. I will probably finish my mission there! The address is:
509 W Kiowa Dr. #D
Hobbs, New Mexico 88230
This week we got a call from some random number asking us if we would go give a blessing to a baby that was born pre-maturely in the Nicu (i don't know how to spell that). Because we are the only missionaries with a car in the city other than the ZLs we always get calls to go give blessings at the hospitals. We were a little bummed because we had to change a lesson we had planned, but we hustled over to the hospital to give a blessing. We got there and called the number and they told us they would meet us in the Lobby. We sat there and out from one of the hallways comes Manuel Zambrano. Now, you don't know him because you haven't been with me on my mission this whole time. But he's a Less Active member I worked with a lot in Fort Stockton!! I was so pumped to see them. They are the ones who we ate Thanksgiving dinner with last year. They both recognized me right off. I havent seen them for over a year. It was their baby that I gave a blessing to. Anyway. I gave the kid a blessing and it was a really special experience for me. I really really REALLY felt guided in that blessing. I felt like I was watching a movie and just explaining what was happening. Way cool experience. Church is true and so is the Priesthood!!
ANyway. I am really really sorry, but I already got to go! This was a really short email. Please forgive me, but know that I am doing well and I'm happy.
Y'alll be happy and stay safe! God bless you!
Love,
Elder Caleb
