Transfer Comes to a Close
This transfer has finally came to a close. And come to think of it, it actually went by very fast..specially this past week. We worked pretty hard this week…I am proud of our efforts. Of course, Elder Baird is going home on Wednesday, but I think we had some good times together. He really is a good guy. Has taught me a lot, as well as my other companions.
We started out the week well with some visits to hispanic people last Monday and then a Family Home Evening with the Resendiz family (probably the most faithful hispanic family I have ever met). That was a lot of fun. But I was feeling kind of sick..I hard a huge headache…but it later went away due to some rest and some medication from Sister Caceres. Well…on Tuesday…I can’t remember really what happened, but I’m sure it was a great day! On Wednesday, we drove around with Brother Owens, delivering medias and also visited with Holly (a recent convert). It the evening, we had planned a full-exchange with 2 members. I was to stay with Brother Garcia in his house, teaching Rosa and Beni and my companion was to go with Bob, visiting another part-member family. Well, the plans all worked out…but just a little later than we had planned. Originally going to start at 7…Bob didn’t show up and we had to search for the remote control to watch “the Restoration”. We started around 8, and a few minutes later, Bob showed up and left with Elder Baird. I then had a sweet lesson with Rosa and Beni and Brother and Sister Garcia were teaching part of the lesson. They are awesome, I love them! Anyways, I ended up finishing around 9 and started playing the waiting game (Had to wait untill Bob got back, because the car was at the Garcia’s house). Soon, it was 9:30 and I couldn’t call anyone cause there was no phone that worked at the Garcia’s house. I started playing a little with the kids and then I realized it was already 10:00!! So, with the rule that we have to be in no later than 9:30, I started freaking out a little bit. But, they eventually arrived around 10:10 and we got back at 10:20…not too bad!
We found a couple sweet people this last week, 1 of which, Lesha Palmer, who came to church and she looooved it. She wants to get baptized. But also over the weekend, my allergies started to kill me, because we mowed the yard at Bob’s house and that night, I was all clogged up and couldn’t breath through my nose…it was horrible…it happened last night also. So…Elder Baird has been saying good-bye to everyone and I am remaining here, just waiting for my new companion tommorow (who I already know who it is through some inside information!!)
Anyways, it has been a good week and I am looking forward to General Conference this next weekend…should be greeeeat!
I love ya all…hope all is well!!
