WOAH.
What a crazy week it has been. So Monday night I said good bye to a ton of families that was sad...like always. I grew to love the ward and people I was teaching sooooo much. That happens in every area though.
Juan was excited when he found out I can FaceTime him for his baptism. Yeah!!! 😁
Literally I'm going to my third area and being with my 6th companion. It's pretty fun getting a new person to live with for 6 weeks. And my companion is going on her third transfer in the same area so I'm probably going to get another companion after this one too. What fun!!
Anyway after that two other sisters and I got into the ZL's truck and I drive like 2 and a half hours to Corpus Christi. We had to drive through the checkpoint too. That was fun.
Once we got to Corpus we moved some stuff around and got into my new Mini van and drove to Portland. Which was like 30 minutes away. The mini van is literally from the future. And I dislike it very much. I don't want to look like a mom, I want to look like a missionary. I would rather have honestly anything other then a stinking mini van. The elders now call me the mini van mom. 😐 What the?? But whatever sorry about that little rant I just want you guys to know how I feel about mini vans haha.
Anyway moving on.
My companion is Sister Coleman. She's on her third transfer. She is from Connecticut. She had three older brothers. She's pretty awesome!
We went by some pretty cool people that night. A ton weren't home too. So thank goodness for backups haha.
Wednesday we had a little district council sauce and went over the people we're teaching. We also got to meet everybody from our district. And Elder Evans is my district leader again. Haha. I had him as my DL in Mission for a transfer.
It was good. Then we had some Mexican food. It was good but still not as good as the Valley's.😉😂
We taught a ton of lessons. It was so fun!
Thursday Sister Coleman was sick with the flu. So we went to the doctors then we stayed home and she rested all day. Some members brought us over some dinner. Having white people food is so weird haha. It was good...just still getting use to not being served tacos or mole or tamales haha.
Friday she was still contagious so we had to stay inside again. We finished some little projects her and her last companion started. So that was nice.
Saturday we had some pretty great lessons. One being with our investigator Cecilia. She is from Brazil. She speaks English but is obviously more comfortable speaking in Portuguese. Anyway we got permission for my Dad to Skype in and talk to her and explain more of our lesson if she was confused. She loved it. She thought it was crazy that my dad could already speak Portuguese after only 2 years of living in Brazil. The gift of tongues is amazing!!!!!
I also got to say hi to my investigator/recent convert before he was baptized. He was like... When are you coming back... Ahh I almost died Juan. I miss him so much. This man is so sweet. He has the light of Christ in him for sure.
Sunday we had two people come to church, one being Cecilia. She loved it and she understood it. So that was a phat blessing.
Monday Sister Coleman and I went down to McAllen in our van full of 5 elders. So that was pretty fun... And crazy, lowkey thought we were going to crash both there and back.
We had a mission wide conference. With like 200 missionaries. OH MY GOODNESS... It was super fun. We had a little devotional. Then had games and activities all day long. Corpus zone won literally every competition we were put into. Lets Go!!
Then drove 3 hours back to our apartment and got home right before 10:30pn so that was fun.
I love being a missionary. We all had such an awesome time just messing around and having fun.
I love the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know it's true.
I love all of you so much.
Merry Christmas you guys!!!!! 🌲🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄
Remember who's the reason for the season.
Stay 2 Legit 2 Quit!
Con todo mi amor,
Hermana Darling
