Okay... Let me explain myself about the lack of email yesterday...
ugh... So...
Yesterday was transfer day. I'm still in Hot Springs, but Sis Harmon was
transferred out. So we get up at 5:00am to be able to get ready and to
drive the 50 miles to North Little Rock in rush hour traffic to get
there on time for the 8:00 transfer meeting. That went fine. We got
there and everything. Then we realize that we were the only Sisters
there... So that clearly meant that Sis Harmon was going to the other
side of the river into Tennessee or Mississippi. That meant that my
companion had to come from there too... So they announced all the
changes that were happening in the Arkansas side of the mission, and
told everyone else that if they were being transferred and weren't told
what area they were going to, that they were all to get into the
transfer bus because they were all going to the other side... The rest
of the missionaries that were waiting for companions to come from the
other side just had to chill at the mission office until 4:00 when
everyone would arrive... That meant that I would have to hang out at the
mission office with a bunch of Elders for 8 hours... No thank you!!! So
I asked President Drewes if I could come on the road trip to Memphis and
back. Sisters always get to ride with President, and skip out on the
transfer bus. The perks of being a Sister. haha... So I said
"President... Do you want me to stay here and wait with a bunch of
Elders, or do you want me to come with you for the ride?".. haha.. So I
hopped in President's car with Sis Harmon, and off we were to Memphis...
12:00, we get there, have another transfer meeting there, and I got to
see a bunch of Elders I haven't seen in a long time, so that was nice.
Then I met my new companion, Sis Kiser, from St George, UT and we were
on the road back to Little Rock by 1:00... haha... So by 4:00 we're back
in Little Rock, we have a final transfer meeting to let all the Elders
that came back from Memphis meet their new companions that were waiting
for them in Little Rock... Then by 5:30 we were back on the road to Hot
Springs... in a Malibu... with two people's worth of luggage and 4
missionaries all stuffed into it... Then the new Elder we got here in
Hot Springs wanted to stop in Little Rock to visit a family he served
around, so we actually didn't make it back to Hot Springs till 7:00....
I spent the whole day in a car... and I dont know if that was a good
thing or not. But I DO know that I got my wanting for a roadtrip out
yesterday.... haha... I sure satisfied that.
So.. I have a new companion again.... My 7th one in a row...
hahahahaha.... My mission is such a gong show with companions..... This
is my 9th transfer and my 8th companion... I'm going for the record...
If I haven't reached it already....
Sooo.... Just the heads up... Since next Wednesday is Christmas eve, the
Li-berry will be closed.. So I'm gonna be emailing on Tuesday. Just
thought y'all should know.
Also... Speaking of P-days... President said that as of January, our
P-days will be on Monday. That means that next year I'll be emailing
every monday and NOT Wednesday. Which I'm okay with.
Dad... good luck...errr... break a leg??? i dunno... Whatever you say...
I printed off your talk, and I'm excited to read it. I'm sure that it
will come across the way you wanted it to. You just gotta make sure that
you have the Spirit with you. When you've got that, you can say whatever
you want and the Spirit will clear it up for the people listening. And
thank goodness for that... I'd be completely ruining these people out
here if that weren't true!! haha...
Also... Sis Harmon and I decided to do the 12 Days of Christmas for a
recent convert family in the ward. It's pretty freaking awesome. We got
these cheap little gifts for them that we're doorbell ditching every
day. They've already interrogated the Elders about who's doing it, but
they're holding out. haha. I get this incredible sense of satisfaction
every time we ditch another present.. haha.. we made little cards for
each day and they all have scriptures on them, so its pretty much
awesome... The first day we dropped off this angel figurine that plays
Joy to the World, and when we ditched it, we made sure it was playing,
so when they came out they would hear it. So we drove a couple blocks
away but we could still see them searching for who the heck dropped this
thing off. hahaha... soooo awesome... I love being sneaky... haha...
anyways... That's about all I have time for today. All is well. We are
incredibly busy with all these random service projects, so yeah... I
dont really have time to think... But in the end... I get to go to
Little Rock again this weekend to see Larry get baptized. What more
could I ask for.
The Church is true eh.
Merry Christmas.
