There is so much to tell you and not enough
time. Today I am especially rushed because of everything that has been going
on.
Mom, I got your package thank you very
much!!! I LOVED everything!!! Concerning my package to send home...I am worried
it won´t get there in time for Christmas because I don´t know when I will have
time to send it off.
I thought for sure that they would close the
Hermana´s area of Hospitalet second Ward and that I would switch to Hospitalet
first Ward and "kill" another missionary-Hermana Farrell....so they
did close the Hermana´s area and they took Hermana Farrell out. Now I am in the
first Ward and I am training a new missionary!!! How exciting right?!
We were supposed to be working in both areas
(the both Wards´ boundaries) but because it was Hermana Walker´s last week
there were many people to visit and many things for her to do before leaving. I
am very used to this process because I went through it with Hermana Reeder.
Anyway, we had the second Ward Christmas
party, which was neat. It started out with a talent show and there were a lot
of neat talents-I have some videos. Hermana Walker and I taught everyone how to
line dance to the song "Cotton Eyed Joe." People LOVED it! They thought it was so
funny. We even taught them how to say "yee haw". At church on Sunday
people would come up to us and say it at random times haha. After the dance, we
had a dinner.
Then another day we went to a birthday party
of an investigator and had paella...it was wonderful!
On Friday or Sat. (can't remember) we got the
transfers phone call. I then found out that I would be training a new Hermana.
On Sunday, I went to the first Ward´s
Sacrament meeting (my new Ward) and introduced myself and set up some
appointments and then I went to the second Ward´s Sacrament meeting for the
last time. I still have appointments with some people from the second
Ward...Anyway, Hermana Farrell was companions with a member as she stayed in
the first Wards´ meetings and had my planner and made appointments for me all
week...I have a packed week!! I am nervous because I have to figure out where I
am going and who these people are..haha Oh well...
Then we met with Elder Tirado and Elder
Shiflet our Zone Leaders, also in the second Ward with us and gave them our area
books and told them about our investigators. They are taking over our old area
and taking our cell phone...
It is kind of complicated, I don´t know if
you followed all of that....welcome to my life...hahah
Overall, I am VERY EXCITED. I like challenges
and I am so excited to train this new Hermana, who is super cute.
er name is Hermana Rivera, who was born in
Argentina but moved here to Elche (close to Valencia) when she was 11 years
old. I am excited to work with her and train her. I haven´t really done the the
12 week training program myself, so I am excited to do it and I have to be a
lot more obedient and reliant on the Lord. It is going to be great!!! Like
starting my mission all over again!!
Just pray for me please. I know things will work out. She is excited and
President Pace really, really trusts me. I need to tell you some of the things
he said about me in front of a lot of people. He is very sweet and very good at
giving compliments...
I have to go because we are going to singing
with the Angels in Plaza Catalunya because Hermana Walker and two other
missionaries are leaving. I love you and hope to send the package soon. Hope
Bry Bry has an amazing birthday this weekend.
Love, Laura
