Unfortunately, I'm at a sucky computer today and I have
to freaking PUNCH every key to get it to work, it's taking me 500
years to write, so my email probably won't be very long even though I have a mountain of things to say.
Cambios...[companionship changes]... Holy WOOOOOW!!!! Our plan this morning WAS to wake up, do our studies, call the district leader to ask about
cambios, then go back to sleep. Let's just say the LAST thing I could
have done after that phone call was sleep. As far as our district was
concerned, we were just expecting that Elder Cadena, who's been here
since November, would be heading out. The phone call went like this mas o
menos [more or less] (or as Chileans would say it ma´omeno´ ) Elder Cadena on
speakerphone:
¨Hola! We´re calling to find out about transfers.¨
¨Yeah give me just a moment... OK, ready.¨
¨Are you leaving? Where are you going?¨
¨Yes!! I'm leaving! I'm going to... ¨
¨Oh, yeah! We all knew it! Anything else?¨
¨Yeah! Elder
Turner is leaving ¨...also Hermana Joglar is leaving...to Rauquen.¨(The
same exact sector that Hermana Joglar was ¨born¨in [or started her mission in])
Then came the freaking out and asking who was coming to be my companion
(answer: Hermana Rojas de Peru) and who was coming to replace the
Elders... NO ONE!!! So, I am the only one staying here and they are
closing down the sector we just opened, Lontué B. The other
missionaries are feeling really down about killing a sector, but I think
that the reason they even opened it in the first place was to get
sisters in here and train them so that they could eventually replace the
Elders. Lontué is kind of a tricky area what with being missionaries
and edificadores de rama [branch builders] and everything here so I'm thinking that was
the purpose behind it, especially since the branch here is so small that
they were really struggling feeding four missionaries lunch everyday.
But it's still un poco triste [a little sad]. I'm SUPER nervous but excited at the
same time! I'm really going to miss my companion and the rest of our
district, but I´m sure there are only better things to come! My new
companion and I will be moving into where the Elders were living.
About the house we were going to rent. On Monday last week, when we were about to finalize everything, we prayed
about the house and turns out it wasn't right for us to rent that house.
Now we know why! ¡Bacán! [Awesome!]
Also, insteadv of having two cats where we live, we will now have
two dogs! YAY... but they're both little dogs, (according to the Elders)
one is named Linda [Pretty] (pronounced Leenda!)and the other is named Feo [Ugly]. Haha
...bueno! HOWEVER, that does not mean it is OK for you to get a new dog
with out me fam, OK? ..OK!! Thanks, you're the best fam in the whole
wide world!
Today we have been going nuts packing and cleaning
everything. SO CRAZY! We REALLY didn't see this coming! H. Joglar and I
were SURE we were staying together, especially after the super awesome
pep talk we had last night. I shared one of my favorite
inspirational quotes with her and it spurred on a whole big conversation about finishing
strong, etc. I'll share the quote just because it's super awesome....
¨Be the kind of person (missionary) that when your feet hit the floor in
the morning Satan says ´Oh, crap! She's up!´¨
Haha, I love it! It ALWAYS, ALWAYS helps me feel better and makes me want to push harder and be better. :)
I'm excited to see what tomorrow and the rest of the week have to offer!
Parentals, sounds like a rough weekend! but I'm glad Trent is
safe and Found! Haha, I'm so funny, I know :) I miss you all so much! miss
you too, mom good to hear I am missed! Thanks so much for the parable,
pictures, updates, and everything! I really loved all of it! I will be
keeping the company in my prayers! Best of luck this week! Mama and Not Da Mama (Dad), I'm POSITIVE you are the two studliest people on the
face of the planet! Keep being awesome! Best of luck with everything!
XOXOXOXOXOXO hug and kiss everyone from me! LOVE YOU ALL and miss
you to pieces! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Till next week, ALL my love,
Hermana Davis
