Happy Thanksgiving!

17 November 2014

Well, we had a crazy week! First, we were corriendo por todos lados
(running everywhere) so Hna. Moleli could say goodbye to everyone,
then transfers, then two baptisms on Saturday, then we found a screw
in our tire on Sunday, so we changed our flat right after correlation,
and now we're emailing while the tire is being repaired.. Whoo! Busy,
busy, busy! But it's good. Busy is good.

Transfers went really smooth. And all of our predictions were wrong.
(This is why I don't like to predict things..I always end up being
wrong!:)) Every single hermana is training. Every single hermana,
except for me, is training a brand-new missionary. I'm training, but
only training for the mission. My companion has already been trained
how to be a missionary, but she just needs to be trained for things
specific for this mission. My new companion is Hna. Christensen and
she is amazing! She served six months in Mexico, then went home to
resolve some health concerns, and then was reassigned here in the
Washington, D.C. South mission, where she will serve for a year and
finish out her mission!

Some new things occurred in our mission, too. Now we have Spanish
assistants to the president, which hasn't happened before. The Spanish
zones have been dissolved, and now we're back to being Spanish
districts in English zones. There are at least 5 trios in the mission,
companionships of 3 missionaries, and that doesn't happen very often.
President Riggs explained that a lot of missionaries are going home
the next transfer, so it doesn't make sense to open a lot of areas for
one transfer and then close them, so we have a lot of trios, instead!
It works, it's just really complicated.

The baptisms went well. I payed piano in both of them. That was fun!
And then I played in primary on Sunday and we taught the lesson in
Relief Society on Elder Christofferson's "Free Forever, to act for
themselves." It was so good. I loved it.

This next week, we have four dinners already planned for Thanksgiving.
There's going to be a few more, too, if we can contact the people.
We're going to be stuffed like turkeys! It'll be so good, and I think
I may die from so much goodness! We'll see. For sure, our skirts may
not fit so well when we're done..:) too much good Hispanic food will
do that to you. :)
