This week was fun. we found out sister cestona and sister chamberlain are training!!! and a bazillion other people cuz we're getting like 30 new missionaries! exciting! sad news, sister garcia goes home. today. and i'm here, stranded till ..... later?
STL: stranded till later.
Found out im transferring out of novaliches!! Peace out nova it's been real, it's been fun. occasionally it has even been real fun!! for reals though, imma miss nove, it's a great place. but sister cestona is gonna have a great place to train her new lil comp!! welcome to nova sister walker!!! i also found out that the only thing i will probs be remembered for here is.... being really good at tagalog. im cool with that. kasi, siempre, tagalog lagi......
STL: siempre tagalog lagi. (of course, always tagalog.)
STL: stoked to leave? nah not true. i love nova
last night a family had a birthday party and invited us slash made it a going away party. it was super nice of them, also the first time i had met quite a few of them. but they really wanted to say goodbye! lolz the food way way good and included.... snail!!! yeah, who knew i was secretly serving in france. snail, totes loob.
STL: snail totes loob. (snail totally inside) (i ate a snail. it was super nasty. don't let anyone tell you otherwise....)
STL: still totally lost. who knew the people in that family were related. good thing they're in the other sisters' area.....
cool story: we have been looking for a family on our listy list for a bit now but the only address we have for them is: Green fields III. in case that sounds specific in any way, it's very much not. cuz green fields III is quite large.... anyway! this week we had four babies blessed in church! all four from families in our area! and one of them was.... a Navalle baby!!! (that's the family we're looking for) so of course, after sacrament we went lookin for that baby (and his dad) but they peaced out mad fast. good news, he didn't bless his own baby, an older man in the ward did that we see every week...... they're related pala! so we got their address. can't hide anymore!!!
STL: stealthy tracker lady..... aight these aren't very good.
STL: sister training leader...... that one's for real.
imma stl now! yaaaaaay. which is kinda like a district leader but for sisters. it's chill. we have 14 sisters in our area and we go on exchanges with all of them every transfer. then we go to MLC (mission leadership council, we're gettin fancy now) and represent those sisters. should be tight. im actually really excited for this opportunity for three simple reasons:
1. i'll get to see all the sister's areas (we go out to all the beautiful provincey areas (farms))
2. get to practice my counseling skills ...........to break up sister fights! lolz party
3. im going to Meycauayan! which is in Valenzuela stake! so for general conference this weekend i will get to see people from my first area!!! if they're still active enough to go to general conference!! sana.
ps. update on past people.
right before i left my first area i told you about a girl who had a lil baby and her man just up and left them. flash forward to now, she got a new man, he investigated the church, they got married, he got baptized, they're now all active and preparing to enter the temple. stoked.
in pangarap, we had brother allin, struggling with a few things that kept getting his bap date pushed back and pushed back and pushed back. but he was so amazing and it was so sad that he wasn't progressing like he should have been! turns out! he didn't believe that there was a devil. once that got cleared up he was able to resist temptation because he was able to recognize it as temptation. he got baptized mga sept 21! stoked.
that's all folks! I'm excited to watch general conference this weekend!!!! and the relief society broadcast!!
pps my new comp is sister noriega and i will be killin her off! she's possibly the most excited person i've ever met. should be a party ;)
