hola hola
so ill just start with the big news. i have transfers and im going to open an area for sister missionaries in an area in my same zone called malacas. im freakin out i cant lie. its a rama and usually only elders go there because its pretty much outskirts and a half hour from the rest of the zone! what is going on!!!!
so this week was interesting!!!! we had a crazy thing happen with lesley and juana. so it started last monday when juana called the hermanas of prado and told them to have us visit. we still have no idea how she got their number....then that night we had a lesson in the house of our neighbors and the mom told us that lesley had stopped by looking for us and she was super sad. we asked if she told her where we lived and she assurred us that she hadnt. but at 7 am tuesday i was waiting in the front room while my comp was in the shower and someone knocked so i yelled QUIEN (who)??? then someone replied YO (me) so i asked who it was again and at the same time as they replied my companion came running saying not to open the door. it was LESLEY.....she was banging on the door. we were so scared because when she is angry she gets really aggressive. she left then we went back to our normal routine and at 10 am she was back. she stayed for a good while but finally left. we visited later in the afternoon and she came out of her house running at me but instead of hitting me she gave me the biggest hug screaming my friends my friends. she was so happy to see me that she hugged me like 3 times. we tried to explain to her mom why we hadnt visited for a week but agreed wed visit once a week so lesley wouldnt be sad.
then thursday we got a call in the morning that hermana thompson my companion is training! so i knew early id be having transfers....she is going to be so great!
friday morning we headed to xela bright and early to the training meeting. my other daughter hermana gibson is also training so it was fun to see her and her comp. i just love them!
saturday we had a great activity! it was a fair carnival thing that didnt go as planned but we still had a lot of investagators and less actives come and members and everyone had a great time. on the way home we walked with carmen and pablo, i walked with pablo and for a 13 year old he is so awesome! we talked the whole 30 min walk about baptism and how he wants to be a member but he is praying like joseph smith in the restoration video for the right church. he is the best i just love their family. my comp talked to carmen about her wedding with willy and baptism. too bad i wont be her for it or that we cant go back to baptisms after we leave the area. thats a bummer.
sunday carmen and pablo came to church with us. carmen had to leave after one hour but pablo stayed and loved it! he went to class with the kids his age and the teacher told us after that he was participating and everything like he was already a member and it was his first time in class! que pilas verdad???
in the evening we made popcorn balls with gaby and josilin. im gonna miss them so much. and it was a success!
well today we just finished my packing and said goodbye to carmen and pablo and their family. then we met the zone to play games like signs and went to lunch with the hermanas. its so weird because at lunch my future companion is sitting right there and tomorrow it will be official that we are comps. also the elders that are already in malacas told us that we get their old house and they get the new one...... and the shower is ice cold. wish me luck!
well i hope you all have a great week! i know this week will be one of the hardest in my mission but i know i can do it with the Lords help. till next week
