Hola Querido Familia Mio,
Well, this week has definitely been interesting. Monday, we got the call for cambios. SOOO I was up
packing until the wee hours of the morning, and then had to get up early to
head out to my new sector in MACHALA! So I get to Machala and meet my new
compy, she's a gringita from Colorado, Hermana Brule, and she's got 7 weeks in
the mish! Guess what that means: I'm a MOM! ha-ha Step-mom really, but it's
almost the same thing. Anywho, so we go out to work and we don't really have a
program for various reasons so we were doing a lot of member and conversos
visits. In the last visit, we see the
report of the Tsunami, and how the whole coast of South America needs to be on
alert. SOO we head back to the apartment and get a call from the
elders:"you´re all going to Santa Rosa". I start freakin out because I'm
so excited to go back to my home land, and everybody else starts freakin out
because of the tsunami. obviously, I've got my priorities straight. So yeah, we
head to Santa Rosita and with my really good luck we stayed in my old house.
However there were definitely 10 of us sleeping on 4 mattresses.... so yeah
that was fun.
Not to worry, nothing happened in Machala and we
came back the next morning safe and sound. Then the rest of the week was pretty
normal. We are still looking for people to teach, and we just seem to be in a
dry spell, but I'm not giving up hope!! If there is a will there is a way
right? RIGHT?
So yeah, it's been fun to be in a new area, but
it definitely was sad to leave everyone in Santa Rosa. I learned so much there
and I feel like it's my home away from home, but I know that I will be able to
make whatever area I'm in feel the same way.
OK: conference, I really didn't get to watch it
because we were stressing about investigators and all that fun stuff, plus it
was in Spanish and when I'm stressin´ my Spanish brain doesn't work as well. So
when the Liahona comes out with all the talks, I'll let you know what I liked! ha-ha
Well that's all my fun news! can't wait until
next week :)
