Vive A Pie!!!
Long live the sister biking area of A Pie!!!! :)
We
had a slight scare this last week. Well. we had a few actually! First
off, i almost got hit by a car. Maybe I shouldn't tell you this. But it
was actually pretty funny. so here it goes!
We were biking down this street and we knew this big dog lived
there... but he's always been chained up right? well... we are biking
along when suddenly i look over and realize he is not chained! and
suddenly this GIANT black dog is next to me about to snap at me!!!!
So... like every good missionary, I SCREAM and bike faster! as fast as i
can to get away from the dog! Unfortunately, this street ends in a T
with a very busy street at the top, so I realized it just in time to hit
my break and the dog had ran off in the other direction, i slid into
traffic. Luckily, the two cars coming at me were paying attention and
slowed down so i could get out of the way. This was the first moment in
my mission i thought, "GET ME A CAR NOW!!!" It was pretty scary. But we
made it to the church for coordination after that and all was well and
I'm still alive and in one piece! So no worries :) The elders just
laughed as we told them the story :P darn elders dont realize its a
little harder to kick at dogs when wearing flats!
Next scare.... so transfers are this tuesday! and all week we kept
joking that one of us would be training or be called to be an STL. so we
pranked each other all week :) we kept changing the numbers in the
phones to say Presidente Maluenda and kept calling to freak people out
:) it was funny. Then saturday morning.... we hear the phone of one of
the sisters ringing.... and she answers... AND ITS PRESIDENT CALLING!!!
AHHH!! So we are all freaking out when we realized " oh he's just
calling about their health" then he asks to talk to all of us! hands
down funniest moment ever happens now. we all gather around the table to
talk to president and he tells us he will be coming by in an hour to
talk to us... so we tell him thats fine and hang up. as soon as the
phone hangs up, we ALL yell "GO!" "CLEAN!" and the race begins to clean
our little house of 6 sisters :) That house has never been so clean the
whole time I've been here! So then president comes over and we talk for a
little while about how we are all doing with the set up and lets us
know that the mission wont be having 6 missionaries in one apartment
again. EVER. AGAIN. :) He said it lovingly though. So then we waited and
anticipated transfer calls to figure out what would happen!
I am happy to announce! We get to keep our sister
biking area for at least one more transfer!!! I'm so excited!! i love
biking!!! But one of the companionships moved out of our apartment and
is off in an apartment by themselves now :( sad because they are the
ones that always drove us everywhere. But its ok because the other
sisters are fine to drive us :) ah the adventures and madness of
transfers!! Transfers will be this tuesday and Sister Perez and I are
staying together! Yay! We have a lot of plans on how to improve these
next six weeks and have a love of success so it will definitley be fun!
I'm excited!
As for people we are teaching, we have some really great people who
are LOVING reading the book of mormon! I've gotten to use my skills of
making it interesting and helping them see that these are real people!
So they are all fired up! we have a less active member as well who is
super jazzed about reading with us. We go over 2 times a week to read
with her and she is loving it:) so thats great! I love the Book of
Mormon!
I'm hoping to finish it for the 2nd time in spanish this next week
and i can't decide which language i will read it in next... :)
Well
friends and family! These are some of my adventures this last week! I
hope yours have been just as exciting and hopefully filled with the
spirit! I know that the Lord is directing his missionaries where ever
they be! But we must look for that guidance and protection and be worthy
to receive it always! I love the gospel and I know this is the true
Church of God!! Be strong ! Love you all!
