Time for another surprise... After I emailed and said that we did not have transfers, they told me we had transfers... Awkward... But only for 1-2 weeks. Hermana Gividen was not happy at first, but then she was okay with it. They sent her to Concepcion to work with Hermana Woods (friend of McKell and Josh) for a week or two while I take care of the injured Hermana Mendoza. She sprained her ankle pretty bad and got stitches, so President wants her to rest as much as possible and heal up before going back out to work. And since I am in the office working some days, she can rest even more!
Some days I do divisions and go out and work with a member while she stays in the house of another member, and some days we work in the office, and some days we stay home and I clean the giant house while she watches The District. :) It's going alright so far. :) Hermana Gividen came by the house today to get more clothes and it sounds like they are doing good! As soon as Hermana Mendoza can walk again without crutches, I'll send her back and get Hermana Gividen back. :) But for now, we are doing well! Plus, I get to take her stitches out here pretty soon! Wahoo! :)
Laura got back from vacation last night, so I am pretty excited to go visit her this week! She doesn't know it yet, but we are planning to set a baptismal date with her for my birthday... Birthday present to myself! ;) Hahah but first we are going to make sure that she is progressing well and is ready to make the covenant with God to follow Christ. :) I will keep you updated on her. But for now she is doing awesomely.
Yesterday I went out with a member to do a visit or two, right? And as soon as we stepped outside, it started to pour..... buckets... And we got drenched! And when we got to the investigators house, we sat in their doorway dripping for a good 20 minutes while ringing out our clothes and then she let us come in and sit on towels. :) It was funny. Poor member... She didn't bring an umbrella, so we shared. It didn't help much. But after we finished and picked up my companions, we went back to the members house and she made us hot chocolate and gave me slippers to wear. :) So all is better. :)
While in church we were learning about families and eternal marriages and kids... And teacher said something about how it is our responsibility to have children and raise families and work together... And I was thinking. I used to only want like 3 kids, because I wanted to work part time and then full time as soon as I could. But then I realized that we are not here to work and work. But we ARE here to create families and to learn and grow together. So now I want like 5-6 kids... :) And I still want to work when I can, I love working, but I hope I can have an awesome family too. :) So that is exciting news. Can't you just imagine 6 of me running around! How great, right? ;)
Well this week we have meetings planned, one hospital trip planned, visits to awesome investigators, and then switching back companions! Sounds like an adventure! I hope you all have a great week as well! I love you all! Be good! And stay healthy!
Love,
Hermana Markle. :)
