So as missionaries we get moved about every six weeks. Some don't, some will stay in one place for up to 9 months sometimes. That is somewhat of the life of a missionary. For some people change is not easy. That is how it was with me my first time I was in an area for about 4 months. I had met many people and made friends with them. I had planted my roots in that area. So when I got the call to go to another area I was pretty devastated. It was hard for me Like I said before change is not easy for some people and it wasn't with me. I did not know what I was going to do. It was really hard at first. I was not functioning to the best of my ability. I was still trying to figure out why I got moved. As time went on I did figure out why I was moved. As I turned to the Lord for help he made the change easier for me. Now that I have been moved again it was a whole lot easier. I was not in the area as long. I did not meet that many people who I was friends with. I did meet some and I made friends with them. I think as you go on and as people go on sometimes change will be made easier or again it will be hard all depending on how you are and what you do. So as you go through change for those that it is not easy for turn to the Lord and He will make it easier for you. For those who change is easy, help make it easier on those who it is hard for. Do what ever you can to help. Talking from experience it will make the change so much easier when it comes.
