Transfers are crazy, well let’s start with what happened
that day. I got packed and rearranged my old apartment because they were
getting 2 more people moving into it. Went to transfer meeting where everything
you know gets flipped upside down. Monday night I got a call from our President
telling me that he was doing an emergency transfer and I will have a different
companion who is Hermana Johnson! She is so sweet! I was able to work a little
with her in my last zone so I am very excited to be with her, she just finished
training so we are both flying a little blind white washing this area and then
also covering 2 areas because....
The companion that I was going to have was sweet Hermana Dye
who has been feeling really sick. We still live in the same apartment as her so
on day 2 of being in this area we made a fun trip to the ER to then find out
she would be having surgery to get her gallbladder removed. Thursday she had
surgery and since then we have been spending a lot of time with her in our
nurse’s apartment! CRAZY!! She is doing so much better now and just healing
from the surgery. So we have been a trio for the last few days! Always an
adventure!
Because of all that craziness we haven't gotten too much
missionary work in this week but we are now just trying to meet our
investigators :). We have been getting to know a lot of the people here in the
Spanish branch in Santa Clarita. My area is so big with Six Flags and many
stores. We have done a lot of service this week with Operation Gratitude and we
helped clean up a park nearby. Oh and one of my favorite things happened this
week... IT RAINED!!!! That has been the best!
We had a fun Halloween party with our Spanish branch and the
English ward this week that was fun to meet a lot of new people. We get dinners
from the English ward too so hopefully I will be able to keep up my Spanish
because even the Spanish branch speaks English here in my new area haha. I will
speak to them in Spanish and they reply to me in English... They are
funny.
Tonight for Halloween we are getting together as
missionaries to have pizza and watch the Restoration video. We party hard here
in the San Fernando Mission ;), for real though we are all very excited to
spend time together and watch a movie.
This week has been not a normal week but it has been one of
growth for sure. Each and everyday I am growing as a missionary and gaining
experiences that will help me in the future! Thanks for all of your love and
support! And have a fun but not too much fun Halloween night! ;)
