Transfers!

Here is Emily's news for this week.

The work is great, there is a family of 5 we are teaching, and we're going to commit them to be baptized this weekend, I know that they will say yes, and I'm so excited! We have dinner every single night, and it's great authentic Hispanic food (aka rice, beans, avocado, tomatoes etc with every meal) But it really is good. I quickly learned to eat everything put in front of me, but slowly so I don't have to eat thirds (because you always have to eat seconds). I'm not actually driving, so it's not bad at all ha ha. But I appreciate having a car for sure.

So, transfers were last week, and my trainer and I were both really nervous because the MP(Mission President) sent everyone an email saying things were going to be different, and we wouldn't be able to predict it. So on Monday we got a call, and we both thought we were getting transferred. But it turns out that we were called to be Sister Training Leaders instead! I don't understand, I'm only on my second transfer, and now it's my job to help sisters learn more about being a missionary! Why would they listen to little old me?

Then Tuesday night we got another call, saying that we [were] to co-train a sister who was coming to wait for her visa. I'M NOT DONE BEING TRAINED YET!!! How can I train someone else? But at the same time, I know that President Hansen prayed long and hard about all of these things, plus 1 Nephi 3:7 and all that, so I've been super humbled, and I hope that I can be a good example to this new sister while I continue to learn.

Speaking of new sister, she's Hermana Carter, just got here on Wednesday, she's waiting to go to Argentina, but she's happy to be here, which is so nice. Some times "visa waiters" are angry to be in the states, but she is such a good sport, and so nice, I love her already. So that was my crazy transfer week, crazy, humbling, scary... you name it. But I love it, and I'm just really happy to be here, and to still have Hermana Adorable here to help me out.
