Madre!
Wow just great news
it sounds like! The puppy and the polo
game are both great news! I wish I
could see both! At first I thought we
got a new puppy because I opened the picture email first. That would have been
a surprise. But either way I am happy
Trav gets a new mate! Congratulate
Alexis for me. I know that must be a
super great accomplishment. She is
capable of some amazing things!
So the start of this
week was a wee toasty, a nice high of 102 degrees. WOOF! I
am getting a sweet watch tan line. It really changes the way we
work. Water and shade is needed
every hour and just taking time to cool down is a must. I want to still keep pushing hard but if there
is anything sheep, Bear Grylls, and Boy Scouts has taught me is that you can't
do much when you’re dehydrated. So we
pack frozen water bottles and snacks every morning to prepare and it's worked
out great.

Other than that a lot
of crazy stuff happened and is happening this week. First, we came home from district meeting and
our sink was clogged and flooded. We had
a fun time dealing with that. It was a
reverse sink and when you turned the disposal on it would drain one side and
feel the other. Ha-ha but our manager
took care of it in like 10 minutes. She's a saint.
Elder Davis had to go
to urgent care this week to try and get an ultrasound for some stuff that's
been going on. But they referred him
to a specialist and hopefully he can get it figured out quick. He has the worst luck with health.
We got ate
pupusas TWICE this week. The first time we begged our nonmember
manager to feed us and the second our investigators hooked us up. It was
so good. I love pupusas. Salvadorians by far are the best cooks.
From the little I have tried at least. I need to learn to cook like them ASAP. Pupusas are like corn patties with meat
or beans or cheese inside, whatever really. And then you eat them with this coleslaw and
tomato sauce combo and it's to die for. YUM!
So the transfer calls
snuck up fast and the big news of the week is I am going to be transferred to a
car area tomorrow. President actually
called while we were busy (he doesn't usually call unless it’s important or
you’re in trouble, we were a bit worried). When we called him back he said he
was in the temple the day earlier and felt the impression to call me to serve
as a Zone Leader. He doesn't know 100%
percent why but he is a man willing to follow promptings. It's a little strange to call someone like me
to go from junior companion to Zone Leader without being a senior companion or
District Leader but I am confident the Lord will help me play the part. He is really good at stuff like that. Sadly I will be leaving Elder Davis behind. It breaks my heart but I know the Lord has
wonderful things ready for him. I pray
his new companion will love him like I do, He deserves it.
So after it's all
said and done the Lord has decided to throw me into another crazy transfer. I am so excited! Change is exhilarating. I am really open to any leadership ideas or
advice you can spare. A whole Zone is not quite the same as Murray’s Senior Class.
I am grateful I have divine help. I'll let you know how the cool AC car is as
well ;) what a tender mercy. Love
you Mom. Keep up the studying. I love hearing about what you learn. Give Roxy a good welcome to the family. Con amor.
