The truth is, I lost count of the weeks haha, so you know, just an estimate of 49ish weeks haha.
Anyway,
so big news! or sad news.... We had transfers! Hermana Speirs went
home! Sad! because I love her to death, but it's good because she was an
amazing missionary and I was blessed to know her, and now she's off to go
help people in Oregon with her family. :)) Also, Hermana Argyle stayed
here in Loma with me, and her new comp is Hermana Sanders who came with
me ! Yay fun! and now.... my changes...... I stayed in Loma, and my
companion is Hermana Puac, from Guatemala. She actually lives within Hermana Valeriano's (CJ's) mission. So who knows, she might end up in her
ward one day. :)
Also, we've been living much
better in the heat this week. I started freezing water bottles, so I have
ice water when I get home. and it's come in handy, because our ac broke,
so I sleep with a frozen water bottle to keep me cool. I've decided that
being sweaty before you even get up in the morning is the worst. You
should all pray that we can get our ac fixed this week, because I'm gunna
melt if not. or become mosquito food haha. Let's just say you can't
really sleep with your windows open without getting eaten alive..... 12+
bug bites on my arms alone is not my favorite activity of the day ha ha And then who knows how many on my legs? But thankfully my bug bites don't
scar too bad, so when they go away, I'll start looking normal again, haha
but anyway.
Also, Hermana Owen went home this
week, and her parents came to see her areas and to take her home, so I
met her parents, and died like 5 times saying good bye to her too. But
it's ok, because she lives in Arizona so im sure to see her again one day
haha.
Today we went to our zone activity, and
had lunch with all of the elders who work in the office (my zone
includes all office elders, and the assistants and the mission
president.) and I was sitting there thinking about how we are literally
from all over the world, and we have lives completely different, and so
many things that are different about us, but by being here called of God
in Paraguay, we've all become friends, and we can get together, and make
jokes, and play games and be happy. Because we really are all friends,
but not just friends, we're family. brothers and sisters here on this
earth, and I get to know all of these people who I would never have met
otherwise because I'm here in Paraguay today. It was nice to look at
that. and even if I go through days where I miss home and want to get on
with my life, being here has blessed me with so much love and support,
and so many friends, I don't even know where to start.
But
anyway, I just want you all to know that I appreciate all your love and
support, and your prayers for me. Thanks for all your emails and letters
for me too. They really do make a difference.
So thanks! I love you all!
