This week was a crazy one. I think I could just talk and talk about this
week:) Lets see what I can get in in a short amount of time.
So I got transfered. I have a new companion, Sister Huniao. She is from
Chile. And she has 4 months in the mission. She just finished being trained. Its
been a learning experience for us so far, but its been good. Its actually really
funny because I think of her as a Brazilian. Because in my mind, if shes not
American, shes Brazilian! But I also forget that she has trouble with Portuguese
still. Haha its actually really funny because she tries to say something and
then she starts talking in spanish. And her Portuguese is REALLLY fast because
she talks fast in Spanish. Haha its just really funny. Her accent is really
fast. I forget that Spanish is hard too, to get translated to Portuguese. But
shes still probably at where I was at when I had like 8 months in the mission.
Oh...that was like 2 months back....haha
So we opened a new area. And we moved into the house that was habited by
elders.......enough said.....WOW...the house was SUPEEEERRR dirty. They left SO
much stuff. They left so much stuff there that I called Sister Tavares to ask
where we should put their clothes they left and stuff, and she got really mad.
And sent the zone leaders to our house to take all the trash, clothes, and all
other things and throw it away. And thats not all! Haha after that, she was mad
enough that she took money out of the account of those elders that lived there
before us and had someone come clean the house before we could live there. Haha
it was really funny. But the house it great now! It will be a work in progress
with the cleaning, and repairs that we will need to do. Ill give it until the
end of the transfer. The end of the transfer...it will be great. Ill send you
all a picture of our view from our doorway next week. I havent taken the picture
yet. :)
So we met some members this week. We
live on the same street and actually really close to a member familly. And they
have an ice cream shop. Free ice cream whenever we want. So much for losing
weight.......And we also met another family that I just love. They live on the
very edge of our ward. And they have a bit of rough land :) So it reminds me of
home a little bit. The air is a little thinner...dirt exists :) Anyways its
pretty cool. And the mom is always cooking something delicious. She loves us
already! I can see why...those elders....haha jk. Anyways, she is my new mom in
the mission. I love her. And she and her husband love talking to people about
the gospel. She is the BEST member missionary. Shes already helped us with a
family and will continue to do so. Shes given us a lot of references and already
went to visit investigators with us. Ya...she pretty much rocks in the mission
world :) Anyways.....ya...
We had lunch (you know like lunch that missionaries have with all the
members...like every day) with President and Sister Tavares. A little
strange...but the food was SUPPPPPPEERRR good. It was great. It was cool just to
sit in their house and just talk like they're normal members. Na....theyll never
be just members to us haha. They're awesome.
Also, we had Stake Conference yesterday. Whoop whoop! I saw a lot of
members from the first area where I served (same stake). It was awesome to talk
to them and understand everything they said. Ya...time passes by really fast. I
cant believe it was 6 months ago that I left that area. CARAZZZZY!
Anyways....the 1hr is up.
Love you allll! Until next weeek. Hope this week will be a good week for all
of you!!!
Love,
Sister Empey
