Week 29

Well, this week went by fast. I feel like I was writing home two days ago. Which also means I really don't have much to report on. I think the most exciting thing that happened this week is that I ate Tacos de Lengua yesterday (tacos with tongue meat) and I surprised myself by actually liking them. 

We had a huge missionary training by members of the Twelve Apostles, as well as the head of the missionary department for the church. It was a broadcast. Other than the fact that we had to switch buildings in the middle of the broadcast, it was a super cool experience. I learned a lot about how to teach and what exactly I need to be teaching to help the people better. In his talk, Elder Anderson said, "The most important thing we do is to testify of the Savior and invite other to come unto Him" and that we should always be keeping his name on our lips. I thought that was cool because that is true for not just missionaries, but members as well. If you have a testimony of Jesus Christ, and really believe that he died for our sins, how could you not want to share that with others? 

From our service project this week

A few weeks ago we found out that the process for transfers is going to be different than it used to be in our mission. We will no longer be having transfer meetings, where everyone meets at the mission office and finds their new companion and gets a little training from the Mission President. We will now be going directly from our old areas to our new areas. Going along with that, transfers are now going to be on Fridays instead of Tuesdays, which means my P-day will not be switching to Wednesdays anymore. It is going to be very interesting to see how it all works out this transfer. Members are driving us to new areas and if you can't get a member ride we will be taking public transportation. Luckily, I don't think I have anything to worry about. Sister Ferre and I will most likely be staying together for another transfer (another seven week transfer!).

Sister Ferre is the BEST. I would be so bummed if we got split up. She just pushes me to be a better missionary and a better person. We work so well together and have so much fun. I am so grateful to have had all the companions that I have had.

We have been super busy with meetings this week and were not able to teach as many lessons, but the lessons we did have were all super amazing. I feel like every day I gain a stronger testimony that this is where I need to be right now. This week I gained such a strong testimony of the Priesthood. I took it for granted growing up with the priesthood in my home. I just don't know what else to say other than that it is real. 

Well sorry for the slightly lame email, hopefully I will have more to report next week, and hopefully that will not include transfer news (transfers are this week). 

LOVE YOU ALL!
