Transfer weeeeeeek
Well... I'm pretty bummed not gonna lie. I was hoping to
stay in Prosser & I honestly thought I would, based on what Pres. &
Sister Rasmussen said to me at interviews...but I'm getting moved again. I'm
going to the Kennewick Stake as a Zone Leader....and as an English
missionary. Yeah I was pretty sad when I realized this would probably be
my last spanish area in my mission haha. It's ok though, I've accepted my fate
(and I'm trying to have a really good attitude about it). I'll be living with
the APs which will be pretty fun since I used to live with one of them. Also E.
Cogswell (a past companion of mine) is coming to Prosser in my place! E.
McBride is gonna love him!
Anyways, for this week we had a good time. We found a new
person to teach yesterday which was awesome, she's pretty cool. She seemed
excited about us wanting to teach the rest of her family how to have a closer
relationship with God.
We had a good last district council where we talked about
how to help our people keep commitments so we did some roleplays of extending a
baptismal invitation.Then we celebrated for a great transfer by playing Gospel
pictionary and it was super fun haha. A lof of the words were really hard
"Deep doctrine" stuff so we were all so frustrated.
We also had some fun service burning tumbleweeds at a
members house. We caught a vole too it was pretty gross. Its just like a weird
mouse thing. They fed us a burrito that was like 2 ft long and you slice it
into pieces to be able to eat it.
The Grandview Elders had some baptisms this week too so I
got to do 3 more interviews for Sebastian, Santos, and Jose! They were honestly
super ready and already have been sharing their testimonies in church. They
were so excited to get baptized they decided to do it as soon as possible even
though Jose's wife is in Mexico right now! The baptism on saturday was super
good, there were quite a few investigators that came as well. On sunday I got
to confirm Sebastian in sacrament meeting and that was a super good experience.
They're the best!
On sunday we had our last dinner with the Winder family
& we celebrated E. McBride's birthday! Sis. Winder made us E. McBride's
mom's lasagna and it was super tasty. They are some of the most awesome members
I've ever met! They minisister to so many people in their ward (and out of it)
in super natural ways and have helped a handful of recent converts make it to
the temple and start preparing for missions. I will miss them a lot!
We also said goodbye to Serafin. He's a super good member
friend of ours I'm gonna miss him loads. He saved our bacon so many times when
we needed a member for a lesson, he's always ready and willing to come with us.
He deals with a ton of rough stuff in his life too but he has a great testimony
of the gospel that just keeps getting stronger!
Anyways, I'll say goodbye to a few more people tomorrow and
get pictures with them but I'll include what I have so far. I'm honestly gonna
miss this place so much. Wish me luck on this new adventure of learing how to
talk to rich white people haha
Los quiero, que tengan una semana genial!
