Hola todos! I'm sure your missed me with P-day being on Tuesday this week. Transfer details included me staying in my area, being the designated driver...... and getting a new companion! Sister Edwards. She honestly intimidated me big time the first time I met her because she trained one of my friends that came out at the same time I did. Everyone says she is awesome so I guess we shall see! She has amazing Spanish and is in charge of Centro Hispano, which means we will be going there a lot more potentially!! Woohoo! I'm excited for the change but sad to see Sister McBride go. We are staying in the new apartment I recently moved into. So, that is good! No moving for me, just a lot of helping Sister McBride and taking lots of pictures. Plus....! We are the Social media specialists for the Centro Hispano page this transfer which means we are in charge of all the posts and ads and stuff. Ahh!!!
Monday: Man, time this week has gone so slow I can barely remember what we did on Monday! Today we went to the Anderson's house for dinner and man are they talkers. We were there for basically the rest of P-day!
Tuesday: Today we did a day full of studies! It was nice not to have so many appointments and actually get all of our studies in. Pretty crazy that this is some missionaries every day. We are lucky to have so many people to visit and teach. Josiah sadly canceled on us.... we will do take two tomorrow. We also had an amazing dinner with a family in our ward who has adopted their two little boys. They are the cutest!! We got to say a prayer with them and it was fun to watch how their little family functions.
Wednesday: We wore our green and after hours we went and got green shakes at our favorite icecream place! Sadly Josiah canceled on us yet again....we will do take three tomorrow. Today we also went street contacting and complimented everyone's green. It was so fun! Then, we went to the Burt's house for dinner. She made Indian food which I've learned people eat a lot here...... so..... yeah...... Anyway, after that we went and watched the youth music festival with all the youth! It is soooo good. I highly reccomend. I really felt the spirit and the church has seriously upped their church music game since Covid.
Thursday: Today was service day. We started off the morning at an old lady's ranch helping her clean out her horse pens. Three of them were completely stuffed full with boxes of, well, garbage. However, she clearly didn't think so. So, we bucked up and cleaned out every single box, we sorted and un-taped until our fingers were raw. We tried to sneak boxes of sorted out trash into the dumpster when she wasn't looking because this poor lady had so much stuff! If there is anything I have learned this week is the power random stuff has over your life. It really blocks out the spirit. So, my "invitation" for the week is to sort your stuff!! Clean out the junk in your life and leave some room for the spirit to speak to you. I promise that as you let go of things that don't matter, you will have more room for the things that do. We also, spent most of the rest of the day deep cleaning Sister Stewart's house. So we did a lot of manual labor today! Luckily Sister Stewart bought us Raising Canes as a thank you. After that we drove to Centro Hispano and Sister McBride had to say goodbye to our class :( Sadly I did too. My new shift will be on Tuesdays.
Friday: Today we did service for Esther and helped mop a floor that desperately needed it. After we did weekly planning. After that we got to go to my Dad's boss' house! Crazy right? He fed us a very nice dinner and we even got to share a message!
Saturday: Today was full of saying goodbyes. English class ended with a super yummy mexican restaurant. We enjoyed the time we had left! Transfer calls were all night so we were super anxious all day! Sister McBride knew she was leaving but, I had no idea I would stay!! Luckily I still have a little longer here in Blanco.
Sunday: Today was nuts! I honestly am too tired to write about it! We had three really cool meetings and even had a birthday celebration for Ari! The week ended with a bang!
I have a million pictures, so hopefully they send. Here are a bunch of member pics and fun things we did to live up our last week together. They won't all send so check my blog later this week for more pics.
