What
a week! So crazy! Here´s what´s been happening:
*We got Hermana Austin
ready and sent home on Wednesday! It´s still so weird to me that she´s in
Utah with the snow and everything! We packed all of her stuff up on
Wednesday night and while she was packing I was cleaning....I was in the
kitchen and I saw a cockroach on the counter so I sprayed it with some bug
killer and it ran into a crack behind our sink and so I sprayed a little in
there......about 5 minutes later about 10 cockroaches came out and so
I killed them all and sprayed some more in this crack...after like 30 minutes I
had killed like 40 cockroaches hahahahaha #blessed It was an interesting
night.
*On Tuesday we
found out the transfers. We knew that Hna Austin was leaving but we didn´t know
for sure what would happen to me. They also changed the way transfers are for
all missionaries and when you are leaving your area you have to travel alone
hahahahah WHAT?!?! I was waiting for them to say April Fool´s but they never
did....luckily Hna Austin and I got to travel together to the offices because
I´m training!!! Crazzzzyyyyyy!!!!
*My new comp is
Hermana Ovejero! She´s from Cordoba, Argentina and she is a dream!!! I
seriously love her so much! She´s really skinny (like literally skin and bones)
but she eats more than me!!! She served a mini mission in Argentina and already
knows how to do mostly everything but she´s just fresh from the MTC and is so
excited to work! I am so so so so so so so happy!! I was really nervous at
first and felt really inadequate but the Lord had literally helped me know what
to do and how to do it in every moment, I feel really blessed!
Here´s a funny story,
we were teaching a less active named Emilia and we were talking about how hot
it is and I told her that I want to cut my hair because it´s really hot and she
was like "Really?!?! When are you
going to cut your hair??" I was like "I´m not sure if I´m really
going to cut it, why?" She told me that if I cut my hair she wants to keep
it hahahahahahah people here love my hair so much and it´s kind of scary. Don´t
worry, I won´t give her my hair.
Mango season is
winding down which makes me really sad because the mangoes here are huge and
soooo delicious! They are the cherry on top of missionary work in
Paraguay!
It´s been a really
crazy week but I think I am the happiest right now than I have been in my whole
mission/life. I´ve been able to really focus on the work here and the more I
do, the happier I am!
Have a wonderful
week!!
Ponderize: Alma 26:35
(read this chapter this week and I literally thought I was going to die of
happiness)
Love, Hermana
