I got the package :) alright so the story with the ATM card....
I took out some money to buy a few things
and I just left the card in the machine being the 18 year old that I am…. with
the pin typed in so anyone could take out as much money as they wanted. I didn't notice until.... we left and
went to buy a pair of flip flops. When I opened my wallet to pay I noticed my
card was gone. My heart instantly went down to my feet...... I also said like 3
back to back prayers. We ran to the computer place and I sent you that email to
cancel it, then left.... about 30 seconds after we left 2 of the missionaries
in Clorinda called us and said we have you card. When I heard that I said
another 3 back to back prayers of gratitude. Then we ran back to the Cyber to
write you again. The lady behind me in line took it out and then saw us leave
and turn the corner. She then left the bank and saw 2 different missionaries
walking and gave the card to them............ There are good people in all
parts of the world.
(Good-bye to Elder Harris)
As for transfers I stayed in Clorinda, but I got a new
companion Elder Skouson. (below)
He arrived in the mission 3 months ago with
me and speaks even less Spanish than I do. I’m the senior companion. But it doesn’t
really mean much. :) Hey if you just want to put this letter on the blog this
week that would be great. This hour of
writing feels like five minutes and I don’t have time to write more or respond
to everyone :( mom the mission is going
soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fast. I cannot believe it.
Days feel like 2 hours and weeks feel like 2 days and months feel like 2 weeks.
It’s ridiculous but I love it and I’m learning soooooooooooo much. Tell Paige Logan Thacker and Eli to just drop
out of school and serve a mission... They will learn more that way ;)
We are just praying a lot and my Spanish has grown in the
last three days more than in the last 3 months. We are going to have some
baptisms finally, 3 chicos next week :) the kids are soo cool. Elian, Luiciana, and Sergio. Other than that
we are practicing our teaching a lot.. .. we have lots of people to teach and
we have a lot of untouched houses in our area.
I’m still happier now than I
have ever been before. I love you guys and don’t worry about me feeling home
sick.... It doesn't even feel like the holidays.... It’s way too hot to be the
holidays... At least that’s what my body is telling me.
Oh and just because I don’t respond to every little detail doesn't
mean I don’t like reading it and knowing :)
You guys tell everyone that I’m thankful for them and their prayers. You
guys really do help me function everyday more than you think :) The other night I had a dream I got off the
plane and saw you guys it was weird. But don’t worry I’m having so much fun,
and I’m learning how much our Heavenly Father and Jesus really love us. Love you guys!!!!!!!!!
