Transfers

Hiiii. This was literally the craziest week of my entire mission. And probably life.

Monday we had our zone activity and that night we had FHE at Fred and Iza's house. It was the funnest thing of my life. That night, Sister Delgado and Sister Routhier show up at our apartment for MLC the next day and it was SOO good to catch up with them.

Tuesday we got put in a trio with Sister Davocol and it was way fun! We got to get ice cream with Sister Routhier and Sister Araneta and then Sister Routhier and I talked forever that night. It was so good to be able to talk to her again. She said she's having a hard time to her and I just bore my testimony to her about the Savior and we cried together and it was one of the most spiritual experiences of my mission. I love my anak.

Wednesday night I got to work with Sister Routhier in our area. She had to be in Legazpi for some medical checkups. It was so good to see how much she's progressed and how much better she is now. I miss her a lot.

Friday we had Zone Training and I was just kind of pessimistic the whole time because we only focus on numbers but that's gonna change... because President Guanzon called me that night and told me that I'm the new Sister Training Leader in Legazpi. All I have to say is things are going to change. I'm sick of being in a mission that only cares about numbers... things are going to be different here if I have a say in it.. haha.

Saturday night transfer announcement came in. Sister Jimenez is transferred to Guinobatan. It's within our zone, so I get to do exchanges with her! She leaves for Utah on the 22nd.

Sunday we had a really awesome Stake Conference and a bunch of our zone members came up to me individually and told me exactly what I was saying about how we only focus on numbers. They asked me if I could change it. haha. I agree 100% and I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed!

Monday was Transfer Day (hence why I'm emailing on a Tuesday). My new companion is Sister Matulac and she's from Manila. She's coming from Sorsogon, and she's a brand new STL as well so we're just a little bit stressed... haha. But I absolutely love her already. She's just what I need right now. She's so Christlike and happy all the time! It's gonna be a good transfer! We FINALLY taught the Adana family last night after a few weeks and Sister Catherine got a new job so hopefully she'll be able to attend church and actually be available now. Good things are coming. I can feel it.

Love you all! Have a great week!
