Pablo, Wanilda, Hermana Ball and Hermana McDougal from Arizona |
Flia Domingez I love this family so much |
Fail Vega, they are so great!!!!!!! She is like our mom. |
Guess who is not only in my zone of hermanas but in my same ward. HERMANA PAREDES!!!! |
Chou best zone/district ever |
This lady made me a temple dress for $50. It's so pretty. |
The week of changes is always crazy, Monday and
Tuesday were filled with goodbyes and lots of crying. I didn’t sleep at all Tuesday
after we got the call that Hermana Austin was leaving. She had to pack all of
her things and even after that we were just talking. I was really worried, I
had forgotten what it was like to not be with Hermana Austin. I liked how we
did things and I was scared someone would come and change everything. It was
fun getting to go to the terminal again, and this time I knew so many people. Before,
I always knew a few, but I know like everyone now. If there were Hermanas I
didn’t know, I introduced myself, it was really fun. So how they organize it is
they have different colors and your comp is your same color. They gave me the
paper for my color to go and find everyone and tell them their comps. I looked
down and I saw
Hermana Ball y Hermana
McDougal STL
She is one of my Hermanas.
I know her pretty well. Not even thinking I just ran over screaming that she
was my comp.... Before with Presedente Agazzani he would always call the Hermana
leaders before hand but Presedente Wilson hasn’t been doing that. I had only
been thinking of how happy I was she was going to be my comp and I didn’t even
realize that she didn’t know she was going to be an Hermana leader. hahah She
was kind of freaking out. She said that was the last thing she expected. She
has one more change in the mission than I do, but we hit it off from the start.
I remember I met her back last Christmas at the party. We were in the same
group. haha I love her so much. We totally taught our taxi driver and he was so
great, and he lives in her old area. We talked to him the whole time about the
Book of Mormon and it was so spiritual. We gave him one. It was cool to talk to
someone who is really searching for something more... why doesn’t he live in
San Lorenzo? ... bueno no importa (oh well, that’s not important) but I was
still a little sad.
Before we left the
terminal I had a mini freakout and Hermana Austin calmed my fears. But I’m
really sad because Hermana Austin isn’t an Hermana leader anymore. I won’t see
her again for a long time. It’s been really hard. I miss her a lot but Hermana
McDougal is so great. We have been having a really fun first week together. She
is from Arizona, she was companions with Hermana Austin a long time ago which
is fun. Hermana Austin went to Ipicatai with Hermana GUADADO, one of my old
comps, so fun. Sooo Hermana Mcdougal knows how to cook!!!, So much for getting
skinny this change. But I’m so grateful I get to be with an American for Thanksgiving.
It’s going to be great. We already have big plans.
Hermana Paredes is
companions with the other Hermana in my ward so I will be seeing her all the
time!!! I’m so happy, what a little miracle.
One last miracle. We had
an investigator at church on Sunday and tons of menos activos (less actives). The
guy’s name is Jose Maria, the other Hermanas of San Lorenzo found him playing
the guitar on the street and invited him to church. He came last week and then
this week he moved to our area and came again!!! We have a lot of hope for
him.
Pablo and Wanilda are
doing really great, just trying to adjust to not having Hermana Austin around
but they already love Hermana McDougal. Wanilda did lose her job this week,
which I’m worried about so pray that she can get a job this week. They have an opening
at the temple and she is hoping she gets that job. It would be so perfect. So
if you could keep her in your prayers and Pablo too, he is trying so hard to be
strong but it’s a daily struggle. The church has a counselor and we are praying
that they can get in to her and start some treatment with her. Something else
to pray about that the bishop approves that.
That’s all I got this
week. We are just working hard. It’s getting hot but today it cooled down. It’s
been some crazy down poor.
Hermana Ball
Espero que todos estén
bien.
