So yeah, I didn't really
write a group email last week, (sorry!) didn't have much time. I have to say these
past two weeks have been a little challenging. But hey, what doesn't
kill you makes you stronger =) Or I guess in the case of a mission,
strengthens your testimony =)
On Friday I had a
"special" transfer to Mochis (another State in Mexico, yes our mission
covers two states). It was reallllly hard to leave Ciudad Obregon,
saying goodbye to everyone was awful =( Especially since two of my
investigators have Baptisms coming up on Feb 14 (I know great day to be
baptized, right?) But I know this is for the best and this is where God
wants me right now =)
Mochis is definitely
different then my last area. It is really beautiful! It is a mix between
California and Texas, and the area we cover is HUGE!!! TONS OF
WALKING!! WHOOW!!! My new companion is Amazing!!! Her name is
Hermana Fisher, and she is from California =) I'll admit I was really
nervous to have an American as a companion because I thought my Spanish
would decrease because we would probably be speaking more English.
But
nope! When the President put us together he told specifically that we
could not speak any English with each other, and so far we have followed
though with that. Surprisingly, I have learned so much more Spanish! More then I have
even learned in the past two weeks! This transfer has definitely helped me a
ton with the Spanish =)
Yesterday we had
Stake Conference, which is considerably different then the conferences in
Utah. They used a lot of visual aids, and called up volunteers to help
them with Missionary practices, it was so weird! But pretty cool, haha
our mission president had to give four talks =P And A Seventy spoke too! His name was Elder Ortiz. He came and visited with us missionaries
after he gave his talk, never thought I'd see the day that I would be talking
to a seventy in Spanish. Miracles do happen haha ;)
Well
hope all is going well in Utah =) I am doing much better and getting
adjusted to my new area =) I love and miss you all! Have a good week
everyone! =)
Love
Hermana Orison
Me and Hermana Fisher! :)
