Buenos dias!!! Ya estoy en Kennewick otra vez!! Es muy
extraño estar aquí de nuevo porque cada día hay cosas que me recuerdan de la
primera vez, pero a la vez hay cosas nuevas y... no sé jaja
So on transfer day I picked up my new companions Elder Pan and Elder Rogers! Elder Pan is from Sandy, UT and Elder Rogers is from SoCal. We've had a blast so far! The Elder I replaced in the area crashed our car right before I got here so we had to walk for the first week. Normally it wouldn't be a problem but our area is massive haha. We live with the Marshallese Elders (they work with people from the Marshall Islands, there is a small group of 50 or so members here). We didn't have a ton of people to teach when I got here but the Lord blessed us with 3 referrals from our mission Facebook page!
Our district is super fun, it's hard to keep up with everyone though haha most of the Hermanas are super hyper all the time 😂 they love playing Pickleball which has been way fun. There are a few parks around here that have courts so we go like 3 times a week in the mornings. We also played some sports with some members week and while we were playing volleyball one of the Hermanas swung her arms and hit the ball right into my eye haha. It hit my glasses right at the top of my eye socket and gave me a lil black eye. It doesn't hurt too bad luckily! Worth it haha it was super funny when it happened.
We did some service for Hna DeHaan, one of the members and then after we painted some rocks for her. Shes like the sweetest old lady ever haha but she was roasting people that have bad Spanish.
I got to eat carne asada like legit 4 times this week haha. I had a district dinner, a Elders-only dinner, a leftover Marshallese barbeque dinner, and then dinner with Antonio (one of our new people we are teaching). Honestly I had hoped to get some going back into spanish work so my dreams came true!
We got together as a zone and had a good meeting where we set some expectations for the transfer and made some plans to work with the members. We have been doing a lot in our ward trying to make it more organized and improve the communication between the Missioaries and the leadership.
We met a new family, the Woolstenhulmes, that had moved into the ward from Idaho. Their whole family speaks spanish, and only the dad served a mission which is pretty impressive. They got a prompting a few years ago that they needed to help out in the Spanish wards wherever they live.
So yeah there is a little update! God is good! He loves everyone so much and it's always there for us.
Les quiero
