We get to stay together one more transfer!
Transfer predictions
One of our STL's, and one of
my old comps in Yakima, Hna. Streuling, has completed her mission, so now we
are going to be getting a new Sister Training Leader, (drumroll please) HNA.
LUEVANO!!!!!!!!! I am so sososososososososososososososososososooooooo excited. This
means I will get to have a weekly phone call with her AND do exchanges
together! I miss her so much, so this will be really fun. Hna. Dee and Hna. L
were companions the transfer before I was comps with Hna. L, too so that will
be awesome for them to be reunited before Hna. Dee goes home in July. We were
also really excited to find out that Hna. M and I will both be staying right here
in White Salmon for another transfer together! We are so happy, because this is
a great companionship! Our area has been a little slower lately too, not a lot
of new work to be done, and we just really did not want to leave it this way
for other missionaries to come into. Hopefully we can get this place a little
more on fire before we have to leave.
So some fun things
from this week:
Tuesday-Wednesday Hna.
Streuling and Hna. Dee came down for a couple of days to "blitz" our
area with us. It's like exchanges, but instead of one of them coming down here
and one of us going up there, they just both came down here, and there were
double companionships in one area. It was really fun to get to see my old
companions again, but also weird! Like two realities colliding! I was with Hna.
S and Hna. M was with Hna. D. Hna. S was on fire!! Like I said, she goes home
today, so she was like totally YOLO (or maybe YOMO you only missionary once!).
Just going for it, no fear, no laziness, nothing. She was awesome. Really fun
to be with her on her last week. (Hi Hna. S if you are reading this!)
Exchanges!
Hermana S missed me!
A "Welcome to White Salmon" cake for our visitors
Tuesday night we (Hna.
S and I) went to Juan Oltega's house with a couple of Spanish-speaking
members of our ward. Juan is going to be having open heart surgery in a couple
of days, so they went to give him a blessing. It was a really powerful visit.
We taught about the priesthood, and his wife, who is usually pretty stand-offish
we come over, actually stayed for the lesson and was asking lots of questions!
It's amazing to see what can happen when people have a humbling experience.
After visiting Juan, we went to Emma's house. She’s our eternigator here, and
we finally convinced her to let us practice teach her. Bro. T came with us
because Bro. T and Emma are like best friends. It was another amazing lesson!
Emma has the most interesting and thoughtful answers to questions! She was
bringing up stuff I had never even thought of before, so it was great practice
and we all learned a lot together.
Wednesday (still with
Hna. S,) literally ALL of our plans fell through!!! Usually in daily planning
the night before, we go over what we are going to do the next day and set at
least two back up plans for in case it doesn't work out. So for like 4 or 5
hours in a row, all three plans had fallen through. SO we walked... and walked
and walked and walked and knocked and knocked and knocked. It was actually
pretty fun. We met some interesting people! And we walked about 6-7 miles when
all was said and done, so we got a lot of really good exercise. The next day my
calves were so sore! Most of the walking was downhill. But hey! The good news
is my hip is almost 100%better! It's amazing what an anti-inflammatory shot can
do. Also on Wednesday our investigator Darren dropped us. It was so sad!
This last week I was
driving just in case Hna. M got transferred, and to make sure that I understand
how to get everywhere in our area. It was pretty fun to drive again, but now
that we're both staying, she's back to being the designated driver.
We got to have a sweet
visit with one of our favorite people, Larissa, this week. She gave us some
awesome picture prints, because she is a photographer! I will probably send
some home soon. So be looking out for that. Oh, hey I forgot something! My old
Zone Leader from Othello, Elder Shugart, is going to be the new AP (Assistant
to the President)! I totally called it! So that's exciting, too.
It's been a bit of an
off week, but I'm so happy with the transfer info we got! This transfer is
going to be great.
Beautiful Sunset
Having lunch with Tacho!
