OK
so this week was pretty crazy! First, I went to the podologa last
p-day, and she cut all the parts of my nails that were causing problems.
Real fun stuff. I went back on Thursday, and then I have to go
back today as well, but my fingers are much, much better. I can acutally
type today! Oh but also, last p-day they took our fridge away to fix
it, so we are fridgeless. It's awesome haha. President and Sister were
kind enough to bring up a water-thingy that chills water, so that helps a
bit. Other than that, we're just being really creative. Today I made
pancakes with little juice-box-type chocolate milks that we've been
buying in rather large quantities because they don't need to be
refrigerated.
Tuesday was district meeting, and then we ate
Almoço on the bus (our ZL made it, and it was SUPER good!) on our way to
Vitória. Also, Tuesday morning we brought chocolates and cookies and a
hand-made card and missionary pamphlets to the guys that work at the bus
station and our really patient with the thousands of passes we are
always printing out and switching around. Yesterday we went back there,
and they were all talking about how much they loved it. Except it was
sad because the one worker that we really wanted to have some didn't
ended up getting any! Also, he cried when he found out I was being
transferred! Literally cried!!
Wednesday was leadership
council, and it was AWESOME and also hilarious. I may or may not have
made a joke that made president say he was going to email mom. But it
was a nice joke, don't worry.
This week we did exchanges with
Sister Farias and her companion. Probably the last time I will work with
her! And then we also visited several members, including one that we'd
hardly met before because she was embarrassed about her smallish house,
and also Isaac, who is needing lots of prayers please!!!! At least I
know that Sister Parente will take care of him.
And, well, the
last thing is transfers! President let a LOT of things slip, as usual,
but then he didn't do anything that he said he would! We were all
shocked. But in the end, the results are:
I am being
transfered to Jardim da Penha, in Vitória, which is President and Sister
Mazzagardi's ward, and basically the center of the mission. My
companion will be Sister Todd, who is a newer sister that I have known
and worked with from the beginning. She's from somewhere in Utah, but I
never remember where. Sister Parente will be coming back to
Linhares in my place! I'm excited for a new area, but sad to leave
Linhares, and not super thrilled about living with other sisters (Jardim
da Penha has had only one companionship for a really long time, but now
President put in two more) or returning to the big city, but if it had
to be anywhere, I guess Jardim da Penha would be the best choice. And
I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes!
Love you all!
Tchau :)
