Well yesterday was my last day of training, I am now a full on
missionary today, whoot! Kinda scary because my Spanish is still not the
best haha (And my English is getting worse and worse as days pass
haha). These 4 months have definitely flown by fast!
This
week was a really hard week, getting adjusted to a new area is never
really fun. Especially this one, I found out that my job here is quite different, Me and my companion were sent to this area to focus
on the less actives (this area has at least 200 less active familys just
in this ward, because some elders, years ago, were baptizing and not
teaching -__- ) So we have to cover three different missionaries areas
(really huge area for us!) and find all the less actives and reactivate
them. I found out that the past two transfers (3 months) no one had
really worked in this area, so we are starting from bottom.
But
I am enjoying working with the Less actives, they all need a lot of
help and I am glad that I have the opportunity to be here and teach and
learn from them. =)
But I got some really good
news =) Yesterday was "normal" transfers and me and Hermana Fisher are
staying in Mochis (of course, since I just got here Friday =P) but my
Best friend Hermana Capps is transferring from Ciudad Obregon to be our
sister Training leader here. Whoot!! I pretty much screamed and jumped
up and down in the middle of road with excitement when our district
leader told us. I know Hermana Capps will make this area awesome and I
finally have a friend here! Whoow!! Miracles do happen!! =D
Anyways, funny moment of the week,
In
Mexico when you greet each other, you hug/shake hands and kiss the air
by their cheek (I think its called a face...) and as Sister missionaries
we only greet girls this way and have to tell the guys no, because of
mission standards.
We had just finished with a lesson and I
was really tired and not thinking straight. I gave quick kisses to
the sisters and then shook one of the guys hands and went in to give a
face, mid way through my brain started working again and I quickly
pulled away, apologizing and everyone started laughing.
yep, I bet I was pretty red then. Gotta love different cultures haha =)
Anyways, Love you all! Have a good week!
Love, Hermana Orison
I found turtles!!!! =)
