Hey friends! Can you believe its August? what happened to July? And June? and May? How stinkin crazy.
WELP. Transfers came this weekend. Saturday night, while we were walking and talking about cambios, Hermana Johnson recieved a call from the Assistants letting her know she was going to be a Trainer! She might have started crying. But we were freaking out and then all of the sudden I realized, wait a second, that means I'm leaving. Andddddd its true. Its a little bit lame, because I have only been here in Villa Obispo for one transfer! But, the Lord needs me in a different part! So, tomorrow I'm headed to Angol. Its this city thats about an hour south from Los Angeles. I don't know too much, but I have heard its really pretty! My companions name is Hermana Fryte or
something? I don't remember. Butttt she's from Brazil! And she just finished her training. Soooo I am going to be the Senior Companion. I'd be straight up lying if I said I wasn't scared out of my mind. But I am stoked to see what this new change brings.
Definitely going to miss Hma Johnson though! We had the funniest experience the other day. We were at lunch with a member, who served us this huge bowl of soup full of potatoes, meat, and vegetables. superrrr
yummy. Well, we finished the soup and were getting ready to share a scripture, when all of the sudden this lady brings out these GIGANTIC plates full of pasta. We died, seriously. It was terrible! We had the hardest time finishing it. definitely crying and praying at the same time. Andddddd then she brought out dessert. I don't understand how these people think our little stomachs can handle all this food hahah! But we are just so grateful for the wonderful members who feed us. Aww. Well, directly after lunch, we had
an appointment with our investigator, Maria. What a nice lady, we perpared us some food! Our stomachs were so grateful. My dear sweet companion felt the need to give me the largest portion as well. OH MY GOSH I LITERALLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO EXPLODE. It was terrible. My stomach started making these weird noises and hma Johnson and I were dying trying not to laugh. We then had the brilliant idea to sing a hymn to invite the spirit into our lesson. But. We couldn't stop laughing. We'd sing one word and then burst
into a round of giggles. Luckily, Maria, our investigator, is 85 and a little bit deaf, so she didn't understand what was happening. hahaha stinking hilarious.
Also this week we had a cool experience. During our planning session one night, we both felt super strongly that we needed to pass by for lots of people the next day, because someone was waiting for us. We prayerfully made a list of about 40 people that we felt were good, Well.
The next day we walked. and knocked. and walked. and knocked. ALL DAY. And we seriously had zero success. So then we started praying every couple of blocks. And still nothing. I am not kidding, we passed by for every single person on our list, and got door after door slammed in our face. It was frustrating! Well, after, we had about 15 minutes before we had to be back in the house, and I said, "hey, lets knock one more door." Soooo we picked one more house, and this cute little pregnant lady answered! We told
her we had a message, and she quickly ushered us in. About 15 minutes later we concluded the first lesson with a prayer and a return date. What a stinking miracle. We know the lord was teaching us patience! And look, the miracle came. This mission is just so so cool.
But yeah these past few days have just been so crazy. Our bishop found out that the 2 zone leaders and I were being transferred, so yesterday we all had to get up and bare our
testimonies. After the meeting, Tons of members came up to us like, "hey you have to come say bye..." sooooo thats all we've been doing. saying bye. its sooo lame. I hate saying bye.
But, if there one thing I have learned from the mission, its that transfers are soooo inspired, and I am heading right where I am needed. BRING IT ON ANGOL!
I hope you all have the greatest week everrrrrrrrr.
love hermana poyfairrrr
