Yea, we are all
happy that she finally gets to go to her mission, it is just sad that it is
before the end of transfers. There are no other trios in the mission so, as
you've already found out family, Samantha is going to be my companion! She just
started her mission papers and actually had been praying last week for patience
in waiting for when she is 19 to leave on her mission. I guess the Lord really
loves her and gave her an opportunity to be a real missionary for a week :D We are
going to have so much fun! We had
interviews with President Passey on Sunday and he said that since Samantha is a
member, I have to drive. He knows I can
drive with my left foot. He just said,
"I don't want to know. All I'm saying is be safe and you are the
driver." Wahoo!!
We had our Spanish
Mission Conference this past Wednesday. It is something President is starting
to help the Spanish Missionaries to be better at using Spanish! Brilliant! At
the beginning he asked 3 people to bear their testimony in Spanish. Elder Joj
(from Guatemala-aka speaks Spanish), Me (yay), and Sister Passey. I thought I
was safe because of crutches. Nope! It
was such a wonderful experience though and I got many compliments on my Spanish
:D not doing so bad!
This week will be
BUSY!! 3 baptisms, packing up Hermana Erickson, seeing my foot surgeon again,
etc. Oh man, keep me in your prayers! And
in your letters! I now know how Hma
Ramos felt with me. Greenies get so much mail and packages haha! Spoiled ;) I
will miss Hma Erickson and our many wonderful adventures. Panama is really
lucky!
Christmas Devotional
was awesome! Minus Elder Christofferson's talk. I just cried my eyes out! That was such an
amazing story of a loving stake :) Also
President Eyring mentioning the sister missionaries made me think of you
because I knew you were thinking of me. Yea, kind of roundabout way but I miss
you so much :) especially during the Holiday Season. It is hard! But I am so
glad I am here serving :)
Have a fantastic
week!! Love you all so much!!
