This week was one of the longest weeks of my
life.
Transfer news! Still in
Bella Vista; still with Hermana Allred; I´m really so grateful for that. I know
that we are still starting out and trying to build it up here so I´m glad that
we are here together.
Hermana Hernandez and
Hermana Johansen left the nest. So Hermana Allred and I have the pension all to
ourselves! It is so weird only the two of us there. But we are making it homier
:)
We went to get a girl F***
for church on Sunday. She´s so cute and so great and the last time we were with
her she was telling us all this crazy stuff. She went off about how she doesn´t
smoke or drink or party (cha-ching!) but then she was rambling for like thirty
minutes and ended her spat with ¨well it´s okay because God is only a spirit¨
okay. Let´s start from the very beginning (a very nice place to start!) So
we went to get her for church on Sunday and her family was outside and F***
never came home that night! They were in a panic. We didn´t know what to do. We
went back later and found out she had been with a friend. So don´t worry she´s
safe. But still, she might not be able to talk to us for awhile because she is
probably grounded for life.
Friday we had lunch with
a family here who tells everyone they’re fat so… that was awesome. Later we
went out with a member and she took us to see her friends and they sat and
talked about how terrible America is and in my head I kept singing “I´m proud
to be an American” there is plenty I can say about here but I don’t. It is always
quite the challenge for me.
We went to visit a lady
on the less active list named E*** S***.
She is really the sweetest thing. And she has beautiful teeth. Her daughter
died a couple years ago and she started to raise her granddaughter. She now has
serious depression and can´t leave her house. But she loves getting visits. She
said that morning she was praying to get a visit from the missionaries because
it had been about 5 years since her last visit. She feels so alone and it´s really
a good topic for a missionary to study because hello! But we were able to share
some scriptures in D&C from when Joseph was in the jail. She is the most
loving person here.
We had a conference for
the missionaries who are new to the mission yesterday. It was really good to be
able to see Hermana Elton and Hermana Phillips and all those great
missionaries. I went with Hermana Lund! She just got here and she is so sweet.
Hermana Hernandez left for Resistencia and we got this cute girl from SLC. Love
it. I learned so much at this conference though. There is a lot that I know I
need to do better as a missionary, I was really grateful to hear this
conference!
I love that General Conference
is coming up! I can´t wait to see beautiful Salt Lake! I know that we can all receive
answers in conference this week if we look for them!
I love you all and I know
one day I´ll have cooler e-mails. But until that time thanks for the love :)
Love Hermana Healey
