Sister Barbosa and I in our room with our Christmas lights.
It sure was an interesting week. We hardly worked in our area!
We had divisions this week with the other sisters here in Socorro. It was great to be with them!
We got to work in our area on Wednesday
and we ran around trying to follow up with everyone. It was a bit hard
because there were a lot of people to visit! We got ready to leave early
the next morning to Maceio for our leadership meeting. Turns out that
Presidente changed his mind last minute with transfers and decided to
call 4 new STLs and open a new area for them because we had a lot of
sisters on the mish. So it was a bit crazy. At the meeting we learned a
lot about contacts and we have a new challenge to do 20 contacts every
day.
I also heard about the transfers and I got
transfered. I will go to Estancia and open a new area and train a new
STL. I think this will be my last area!
Our
Christmas conference the next day was AMAZING. It was so much fun to see
old companions, old districts and sing our mission hymn with the whole
mission. Sister Barbosa and I were running around the whole day and we
were pretty tired by the end. We helped a lot with the food and such...I felt like I was at work
again! haha but it was really good to see my friends and old companions
and say goodbye to everyone.
We got to work in our area again on Saturday
and we spent the day running around trying to follow up with everyone
again. We had only a bit of success because everyone is traveling for
the holidays.
Sunday
was crazy. I already knew I was leaving and when I told the members
they almost had a revolt! This ward really is amazing and I will be sad
to leave.
And here we are. I spent the morning
packing and trying to organize my things. I have accumulated a lot of
STUFF here on the mish. Also.....we don´t have water. YAY. So doing
things like washing clothes and stuff won´t happen.
Some funny moments this week:
1.
We were eating lunch last Sunday with a member family and I taught them
to make paper snowflakes! They got soooooo excited and thought it was
the coolest thing ever. They were like `how did you learn to do
this??!!`
2. We were coming home late and we
were trying to get home in time and so we started to run. So there we
were...running like all heck had broken loose...and a member sees us.
Now he says that we are the sisters that like to run.
WELL that was my week.
I love you all demais demais and I hope that you all read your scriptures every day this week.
wooo woo BRASIL
