HEY! I'm wayyyyyyyyyy happy right now! Missionaries love
holidays that close the library on Monday, because then we can email on Tuesday, and not lose any P day time! So... yeah, life is good.
Transfer meeting happened! Saying bye to Christensen was no
fun at all, but fortunately we are still both in the WATAC, and we'll
still see each other around! Who knows, maybe we'll be companions again,
that's kinda like what happened with Elders W and K (my trainers)
After transfer meeting, it's tradition to go out to lunch with your old
district/new district, so we all ate lunch at Round Table, and then we
hugged goodbye :(
But we'll still be friends. and then go back to BYU
and jam for like a week straight.
It's way weird this transfer (lingo refresher: transfer = six week period), because its the first time I've
been the one to stay in the area, and have someone new come. So I'm the
one who knows the area and investigators and everything. It's good
though! Forces you to step up more, and progress as a missionary, and
that's always good!
This transfer we have been working so hard, because the first
week of a transfer makes the setting for the rest of the transfer. So
yeah, we are gonna make stuff happen. Things have been looking really
good! Oh, and here is a highlight, I don't remember if i already told
you, but Elder Lopez speaks Spanish! So we have been teaching some Spanish people!
At church this Sunday, a Miracle showed up, by the name of Juan, and after church, we gave him a church tour, and he was like "So
what do I have to do to get baptized?? Is it hard??" Haha so cool! We
are going to start teaching him this week, I can't wait! It will
mostly be in Spanish, but afterwards Elder Lopez can tell me if it was
good or not. haha.
Remember Pam? I can never remember what I've already told
you... haha. Our past two lessons she's been connecting all these dots and
it's really cool to watch. Also kind of frustrating sometimes, because
it's slow progress, but so worth it!
Remember like a month and a half ago when Christensen and I
met Joe and Karen? (we like pushed a couch up onto a balcony for
them?) and then they dropped off the face of the earth? Well, they are
separated right now, but we got back in contact with Karen, she came
on a church tour, wants to be baptized, and was at church this Sunday.
:) Unfortunately, her work schedule made her leave right after
sacrament meeting, so she didn't get to meet many people, and she works
really long hours Monday through Friday, so we have to wait til Saturday to see her again. quite unfortunate.
