Sorry for the late email... We've had an eventful day... This morning we went with the Elders and a couple members and hiked up Pinnacle Mountain!! That's right... I went for a hike!!! haha... It was really intense though. The "easy" path .75 miles of stair climbing, except the stairs are big random rocks that look like they'll start a rock slide any minute.. Pretty scary actually.. But it was awesome. The whole hike, up and down is a mile and a half total and since none of it is flat, it took an hour and a half to do. Mind you, we spent like 20 minutes at the top taking pictures. You'll get some eventually, dont worry. I just hope you dont mind seeing me more sweaty than I've ever been in my whole life. haha... And I wore my "negativitree" shirt kind of as a tribute to my normal dislike of hiking... However... It seems like I'm getting over that and I actually kind of enjoy it now... haha... Who knew... But pretty much I'm convinced that tomorrow, my legs are gonna feel like jelly. It'll be awesome... haha...
Also... Surprising news... So on Sunday night we get a call from Pres Drewes and he needed to talk to Sister Davis. He told her that she needed to start packing up because she's getting transferred Monday morning, and that's all he could tell her... So we were TOTALLY caught off guard, and kinda thought that President was playing a trick on us because that was SOOO RANDOM!!!! But it happened!!!! Sister Davis totally got transferred and I have a new companion... But The whole story is freaking hilarious... *ahem*
SOOO.... Sis Davis took Monday morning to pack, and Sis Drewes came to be the taxi. We still didn't know where she was going and who I was getting by this time, so as soon as she pulled up and there wasn't anyone else in the car, I was confused because I thought she would have brought my new companion. NOPE. Instead, she told me to get in the car too, because we were going to Cabot to drop Sis Davis off and get my new companion... So Cabot got reopened this past transfer apparently... I dont know if I already told you that... But anyways... I was actually pretty excited to go back to Cabot for a little bit, but I still didn't know why this was all happening... I was pretty sad to leave Sis Davis though... We had just started REALLY getting along... But we dropped her off and now she's with Sis Rothe in Cabot in the same apartment and everything. haha. And my new companion is Sis Campbell, from SLC... haha... She's totally a Utah girl... but we get along great so far. I didn't really get to find out why this transfer happened until both of us got back to Maumelle. Sis Drewes didn't even know why! Turns out... In the last week and a half she'd been in Cabot since it opened, her and one of the other Elder's also in Cabot freaking FELL IN LOVE with each other.... So that's not cool and it made an emergency transfer necessary.... hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....... Oh man.... So lame.... I dont understand how that happens.. she said that this Elder totally professed his love for her one day and she started falling in love with him back... In a week and a half.... But whatever... I just think that's how they roll over in Utah (They're both from Utah)... Fast romances... Just not as missionaries... Which they apparently forgot.. So they're pretty much banned from all contact until he goes home in 9 months and she's got 16 more months left and he's gonna be writing her from the time he comes home until she gets back to... So my new companion is quick to fall in love with Elders apparently... She says that she's had a crush on an Elder in every area she's been in, MTC included... Oy vey....... But whatever. Missionary romances dont fly with me, so I'm pretty much not gonna let that happen with anyone in this area with her. I dont know how... But it's not gonna happen. haha... So that's my eventful story of the week... Now I have to show her the area and make sure she's more focused on the work as opposed to the Missionaries... hahaha... I think this whole ordeal is hilarious though... I figure you will all get a laugh out of it too... It all took a week and a half... hahahahahahahahaha......
Anyways... I'm starting to get Mom and Dad's postcards! So far, the Chicken, Alaska one is my favorite. I've gotten two others so far and and I dont know how many more to expect.. But I welcome them all.
Also.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............ I know it was this week sometime... haha... Monday maybe???... :) Dont worry... I STILL cant remember what you're birthday REALLY is... I know it was written in a letter you sent me... But I just haven't been able to go through them and check. :) 14 MONIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So... That's about that for this week... Pretty crazy week so far..
Stay safe... especially Mom and Dad as you're heading back home. I'm sure mom is pretty excited to be coming back... haha. And I'll be anxiously awaiting that trip summary from you Dad. I'd REALLY like it if you got it done BEFORE your next conference. haha.. LOVE YOU DADDY!!!! :P
So.... The Church is true y'all!!! LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
