Hahahaha this has been
the weirdest week of my mission! So Tuesday morning I left San
Lorenzo...SO WEIRD. And a way cool member Hno. Suarez brought me here with some
Elders that were going home. We just pulled up and there were like 8 Hermanas
standing outside and I was like "Oh no" jajaja. But there were just
some leaving and some had to stay with us because they were waiting for their
companions and all that jazz...BUT here in our area we live with another
companionship and it is so fun jajajaja!!!
We have a way chuchi
apartment and I keep feeling like I am on vacation in St. George or something
idk. My companion is Hermana Ardila from
Colombia and she´s like 5 feet tall and super sassy and so much fun!
But when I got here
she had lost her voice and couldn´t talk. She got worse in the week so I was
like yeah we gotta go to the doctor. She has bronchitis so we´ve been in the
house for a couple of days. It´s been a little hard because I am so excited to
get to know my new area and work a ton and I literally can´t sit still anymore!
But the other
companionship that lives with us are having troubles too jaja Hermana Sosa
(from Mexico) did something cray cray to her leg and hasn´t been able to work
fully for like a month. Her and Hermana Sweat (from Heber UT also one of my
BFFFFFF´s in the mission!!!!) have only been able to leave for half days so
those two would leave for half day and then Hna Sweat would come and get me and
we just had so much fun all week! It´s seriously been the funnest week!
The members here are
really cool! We live in a way chuchi (fancy?¿) part! The city is called
Fernando de la Mora and it´s all just houses and people that own cars!!! We
have more than 3 members that have cars it´s crazy!!!
Hermana Ardila and I
are Hna Leaders and we are in charge of 6 companionships and they all live like
an hour away so it´s going to be real fun doing divisions.....but I am excited!
I wasn´t expecting my last few months to be like this but it´s going to be good!
We had leadership
council with President Wilson and the Zone leaders last week and it was really
good. Our mission is focusing a ton on Preach My Gospel and I love it so much!
We also had a meeting
with President and Hermana Wilson afterwards with just the Hna Leaders and they
were all asking me questions because they are all brand new at this and I was
just a real nervous mess. And all the Hermana Leaders are Latinas now except me
so I was just trying to speak in spanish and not be nervous and act like I knew
what I was doing jajaja it´s so funny being a gringo here! But I´m enjoying my
time here a ton!
I´m way happy and I
thought living with 4 of us was going to be a straight disaster but it´s been
really fun and there´s a lot of potential for miracles! The heat is coming back
and I weirdly like it (I think it´s because that´s what feeling like a
missionary in Paraguay is). But that´s about it for the week!
