Hola,
So remember in my last email I was saying how I felt do bad for those poor sisters who had to be doubled into Royal and how I couldn't even imagine how it must be and how I hoped it never happened to me????
WELP. IT HAPPENED.
Apparently someone thought it'd be funny to sweep in Sister Mohun without telling her. Yep. I got doubled out of Royal and at the transfer site found out I was getting doubled into Moxee. And boy is Moxee different than Royal. I'm not even just serving in Moxee. I'm serving in Moxee, a place called Union Gap (which I think is a part of Yakima, not sure), and Terrace Heights. And it's soooo big! We have a GPS that our DL gave us and we get lost a ton still. Well not too much anymore, but those first two days were rough.
Well I shouldn't complain. We did get a baptism!!! Yeaah! Her name is Lidia and she is the sweetest thing! She's 11 years old and she'd recently moved to Union Gap, and had already taken the lessons before and wanted to be baptized. The other sisters have been getting her through the lessons these past two weeks but we finished them off! And she was just confirmed Sunday!
As for my companion her name is Hermana Hannah Williams and she's from Dallas Fort Worth, Texas. She's been out 14 months, and this was her first time getting swept too! She's super great in lessons! So sincere and loving, and she tries her best in all she does! I know I'm going to learn a lot from her!
I have a lot to learn in general! It's funny how different the work is and the different missionaries in every area. We serve in the Spanish branch, but it covers like half of Yakima! Union Gap, Moxee, and Terrace Heights are only a part of it! So there are 8 missionaries serving in the branch, and we are the only sisters. For the first time on my mission, the elders in my district outnumber the sisters. This wouldn't have been weird at all if I had served like 2 years ago! Naw, I love my district (in a completely mission appropriate way! Haha! ).
I think my Spanish is really going to sky rocket here! No English work, and not many of the Spanish people know English! I know that I'm going to love it here, even though it's hard right now, I know it doesn't last forever! I just have to remember the old saying: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! I love how I manage to bring up eating/food in a lot of my emails haha!
Hmmm what else??? Hermana Bernson is my Sister Training Leader! We're not in the same zone, but they're super close, so I'm glad I'll get to see her occasionally! I'm definitely gonna miss being her companion!
Oh, and President Ware has asked for us all to be doing this 80 day Book of Mormon challenge, which I'm totally owning right now! We even have these little bookmarks that track our daily reading!
Pues, no tengo mucho tiempo mas, pero sepan que les quierp mucho, y espero que ustedes estan bien! EL SENOR VIVE! LA IGLESIA ES VERDADERA!
Den les cielo!
