Welp it’s actually
almost Christmas now. It’s crazy. I feel like Halloween just ended. But to
usher in the wonderful Christmas season we had transfers! My new companion has
been out 18 months and just came from a 7 Month stint in Pasco. So far it seems
to be working out pretty well. He’s good at the things I'm not and I do fairly
well where he struggles so I am excited for this transfer. He doesn't speak
Spanish though...... so looks like I need to brush off that Spanish textbook
again. Oh well. So far my Spanish has been doing pretty well, but I am really
praying for some extra help.
Speaking of the
Holiday season, I've decided that as a missionary they suck. Like really not
fun. Cause everyone is out doing shopping or gone for the Holidays and always
say "try back after the holidays I'm super busy right now." Well
after two hours of knocking, I am definitely not busy. So for the first time in
my life I can't wait for Christmas break to end. Crazy shocker right? I'm sure
that'll change the second I get home.
Also part of this
wintery holiday season - I am really grateful for my shoes. They are
comfortable, look nice, and so water resistant that they even resist the ice on
the ground...... whoever designed dress shoes was obviously a Southern Californian
where people can pay way too much for clothing and has never experienced ice. I
have almost died like five or six times from slipping on ice this week alone.
And by almost dying I mean slipping. But it makes it fun. Life-threatening
experiences always provide a nice pick-me-up and get the adrenaline
going.
So here’s a cool
story. The day of transfers we got back to Benton City and my comp unpacked and
then we went to an appointment that fell through (again I hate the Holiday
season right now) and so we decided to knock on some doors. First door we
knock, he lets us in, and then 20 minutes later says he wants to be baptized!
Like that never happens! And then we go back the next day to talk with him and
give him an actual date... and he's not there. So we are like aw man that rots.
I knew it was too good to be true. Turns out he just moved to Grandview so we
sent the elders over there the contact and hopefully it all turns out
okay.
And now to close, the
truck finally has a quote back on it! Prepare for the most inspirational quote
you've ever heard. It made me cry like a little baby.
"Carports for
sale. Will Trade."
Yup. So touching.
*sniff*
Until next week!
Feliz navidad,
prospero anos, y felicidad!
