Day: 4 days since my mission restarted
Pushup Count: 166
Hola a todos! Holy cow this week has been wild. I was happily working in North Edwards, completely content and expecting another transfer there when my whole world got flipped upside down. The transfer board came out and it said that not only was I transferring, but I was going from the least populated area in the mission to the most populated area, I was headed for a Spanish WARD, and I was being put on the social media (SA) team. Highlights:
- We went to Goodwill for district activity and we found a giant dragon figurine for Joel
- I found out I was transferring to the center of Bakersfield
- Said some bittersweet goodbyes to the people of North Eddy
- I played soccer with ninos in a dirt field - now I can check that off the mission bucket list
- We drove all the way to Bakersfield, and I was immediately thrown into SA work filming departing missionary testimonies
- I live in a quad now! I feel like I have three comps and it's sick
- Literally every single visit and lesson in the last four days has been in Spanish and I'm absolutely loving it
- I've been so deprived of people for so long that I literally start smiling when I see people at the park....
- A member fed us pancakes with some kind of caramel sauce and then told us to eat healthier
- I'm so tired and I love it
- I had to leave most of my food in NE so I have a lot of shopping to do today
- I had church in Spanish! Oh my y'all have no idea how amazing it was. I was literally giddy the whole time. It was la programa de la primaria and the little niños were soooo adorable
- A member fed us some fire fajitas last night
- We spend 2-3 hours a day in the mission office working on social media stuff, organizing files, and making content for our Facebook page. It keeps us super busy and it's awesome
Spiritual Thought
First off, the gift of tongues is real. I haven't had much speaking practice on my mission, but I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of things when we start teaching. I know that that's only possible through my Heavenly Father helping me out. I still study, don't get me wrong - God requires us to put in effort - but as we try our best, He picks up the slack. He loves me, and I know he loves you too - don't forget it!
