Hey Family!
So transfers are here again! Tomorrow I am getting a new little greenie! I am so excited! To be honest I am pretty heartbroken that I am losing Hermana Lopez....we have really bonded and we are having so much fun again. It is kinda hard to lose her. I am pretty sad. But maybe we will serve together again. I will have another 5 transfers after this next one (right now I have 6 transfers left) So, this transfer is the half transfer....I have 5 done and after this transfer 5 to go....kinda weird and kinda awesome.
There is a white sister coming in and another native! So, pray that I will get the native because I still need so much help with Spanish!!!! It really is starting to come, and I am LOVING IT! I am pretty obsessed to be honest. But I still need help. This native sister is an interesting situation because she does not have papers. Her family is from Florida and they are driving her here.... she can't go to the MTC or anything at all.... so that will be interesting and different. Kinda hard for her I think....but I hope to get her...although I think it might be really hard...but oh well. Interesting. I really wanna learn Spanish! I told pres. that so I think that I will be with the native sister. I hope SO!
Well, Juan G. was supposed to get baptized next Sat. but he is moving on Wednesday to Virginia for work. DANG SATAN! Hopefully, we will get his new address and get the missionaries to him out there....cross your fingers. Jose Rojas is supposed to get baptized on Sat too, but he has fallen off the earth. Not at church...not at our appointment. Nowhere. Please pray that we can find him. I want to get him baptized ASAP!
Some really fun news is that next Sat is the famous culture activity for my ward that everyone talks about and gets excited for all year round! I am so thrilled! They are having me and my comp sing the national anthem (hopefully she knows it) and then the elders and we are all doing the boot scootin boogie and the YMCA. Yeah, super awkward.....imagine the call that we had to make to president to get permission because the ward refuses to let anyone (including missionaries) not participate. "Uh....President, is it ok if the elders and us all dance in front of our entire ward....and anyone else, including our investigators, that choose to come.....and EVERYONE will come, be assured of that." and it was approved....I for one was shocked..... maybe they wanna show up and mock us in our humble state. I love to dance and all, but in my missionary clothes, with the Elders, in front of a bunch of Hispanics I am trying to teach is not my cup of hot chocolate. But it will be a blast I am sure. I am sad that Hermana Lopez is going to miss it....she is a lot of fun and it would have been a blast with her. But it is going to rock I am so sure. I hope that my new comp is cool and secure with herself...otherwise this may be a problem for her.
Well, that is my life right now in a nutshell. All is well....and kinda sad at the same time. But welcome to the mission. I am excited to train again, sad to lose Hermana Lopez after we have been through thick and thin together, and being tried in the work.....but we have a great deal of fun and it really is so rewarding. I love life. I am still a control freak...and I am working on that, but overall everything is rocking it. Be safe and know how much I love you all!!!!!
Love, Hermana McDonald
