The transfer calls came last night and I was so surprised when the secretaries wanted to talk with my companion. But dont worry because as soon as they told her she was being transferred they then asked to me too. And I have been transferred as well! Yes, thats right. I opened this area with sister fonseca just to close it with sister silva! And they arent replacing it with sisters, it will be an elder area! i am a bit sad that my JD Mirna is going to be elder teritory not to mention the awesome house we live in but I really hope/know its all for the best. i think its the boost this area needs, a complete new change!
I wont know until tomorrow where my new area is or who my new companion will be but its all up in the air. Every single sister companionship was mingled with. So I could go anywhere. i am excited though because I love all the sisters who will be recieving a sister. It's exciting! The ward members are bummed to lose us though.
As for my last week in Jd Mirna... it was boring. How can this be? im a missionary, life is never boring! Unless your companion gets a 102 degree fever and you are confined to the house for a week. Then to add insult to injury I had to go to the DMV of Brasilian health care with my companion. Its completly free but completly the DMV of healthcare- just think about it. Theres no such thing as free! Then the next day I got to go to the DMV of laws to get a paper signed for my companion by a notary of sorts. All in all its a relief I havent gotten sick;caught a strange disease from all the oublic, confined spaces.
I did learn how to be a great Brasilian house wife though. I cooked, i cleaned and practically read the entire book of mormon. Have I mentioned how to clean houses here? Its great when you dont have carpet because you sweep everything and then throw water on the ground afterward. swish swish swish! I washed all of my clothes by hand because our wash machine (ish) broke. then i put it in the sun to dry. I cooked manjioca and farrofa and rice and beans. All in all I am grateful to start over in a new area and return to missionary work!
I gave my 1st talk in Sacrament yesterday. I wrote it all in english 1st and then translated. I thought it would tae an eternity but it was actually really quick! I felt good about the talk. I talked about alma 37:6-7 and focusing on the small, simple and important things like family prayer, scripture study and church attendance. And oncewe fortify ourselves we can help with the missionary work. I hope it helped someone, I hope they understood when i spoke! WQe had an all time low of 40 people in the chapel and 0 investigators. I love this area, but a change will be nice.
Thats really all the general news i have for this week. I love you all and i am grateful for the support from everyone. thank you! The church is true. The book of mormon has power beyond imagination! I love you!
(and all the kids in this LAN house are trying to speak english and are using some choice curse words. im pretending like I cant hear them)
