Week 29: ITS DECEMBER!!!

OMG GUYS. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT IT’S ALREADY DECEMBER????!!!!!!

I’m looking around for the time, but I can’t seem to find where it has gone.

Seriously, time is flying by sooo fast!!!

Ahhh. Anyways, transfers are next week, so you’ll know next Monday if I got transferred out if Izamal or not. I’m hoping to let you all know that I’m still here bc I’d love to spend Christmas here bc the families here in the ward are really amazing and do amazing things for the missionaries. And on top of all that they’ve become like my family away from home. But honestly, who knows what will happen next week.

This week was pretty good. Number wise, no. but... LUCY WAS FINALLY BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!! The baptism of Lucy was wonderful. A little crazy but wonderful. We were supposed to have it 4 on Saturday, but then she called that morning to tell us that she couldn’t at 4 but could at 2. So we had to change everything to have it at 2 and only a couple of members knew about it. So 2 o’clock came around and she still hadn’t showed up. Long story short, she didn’t show up till 3 and we had the service (the bishop baptized her) and then she had to leave right away for Merida. It was really quick, which was kinda disappointing bc I wanted something really special for her, but hey, at least she’s baptized. She was sooo beautiful and I was sooo happy to see her finally accept. I’ve seen her go through a lot of changes these past couple of months and she has been so much happier.

Oh, and Thanksgiving was. Interesting. Yeah, Thanksgiving here was... well like every other day. Honestly I forgot that it was Thanksgiving until after it passed. It was Saturday and a member was asking me about the holidays that we celebrate in the states and I was talking about Thanksgiving and it was then that I realized that Thanksgiving was Thursday. And I for our lunch/dinner the member that was supposed to feed us wasn’t home so we ended up making our own food with what we had in the house which was tortillas and cheese. So for Thanksgiving dinner I ate 2 cheese quesadillas... yeah...

Other than that, nothing much happened except I’m dying from the cold here in the nights. It’s so hard to sleep in a hammock when there is cold. I sleep with my jacket and hood, socks, and my blanket and I still die of cold in the night. And I get like next to no sleep bc of it. And in the morning we have to shower with cold water bc we don’t have any hot water. We can heat some up on the little burner we have, but that takes forever and there’s no such thing as extra time in a missionary’s schedule. So I may or may not die of hypothermia before summer comes...

And yeah, that’s about it. We are focusing on finding new people to teach here bc our teaching pool has become filled with investigators that just don’t want to progress so we are looking the chosen ones.

Well, that’s ‘bout it folks.

Love you tons and still haven’t gotten mail, but Friday we have a Zone Conference so maybe I’ll get something then.

Until next week!

I totally saw Hermana Smith again at a Conference we had on Tuesday. it was sooo good to see her and catch up. I've missed her a lot

This is Hermana Pitcher. I met on FB before I left on the mission? She was at the Conference too. She's soo amazing and we have hopes of being companions one day.
