Ok so this week, went by so fast that I don't even remember what happened!! Tomorrow I will be saying goodbye to Hermana Ladd, it will be really hard... but luckily her mom came to pick her up and so she will still be at church this next Sunday! So tomorrow isn't like forever goodbye! I bet you all are just wanting to hear all about my new comp... well all I know is her name is Hermana Reese... I think! She gets here tonight at like 4, so we are just cleaning and getting ready for her all day! She is coming from Ushuaia, she started her mission there, she has 3 transfers in the mission, which means I think she started in Feb or March... she is from the states, but I'm not sure which one! I seriously don't know anything else... her last comp was Hermana Guerra, who is awesome! So I'm hoping she is really cool!
Also another weird thing about this transfer is I am sharing the branch of Tonelero with elders... now get this, the elders only job is to find investigators for me to teach!! Yeah I'm serious!! Every person they find they have to hand over to me and my comp to teach!! Apparently there are a lot of missionaries from the MTC here waiting for visas to go to other missions so they have to hang out in our mission for a bit and president didn't know what to do with them so he is putting one of them with an elder from our mission here and having them find people for us sisters to teach!! I'm still a little bit confused, but hey I'm pretty dang excited... We are gonna have a lot of baptisms this transfer!! The one elder I know who will be here is kinda stressed, because he won't be doing any teaching, but he is really cool and sorta excited... at least trying to be! I'm gonna try to involve them in the teaching process as much as I can because it isn't fair to them to only find and not teach... but I'm not gonna lie, I'm so excited!!!
So lets see some random stories, this past week I was up to my old tricks and sprained my ankle... it was bad for a couple of days, but I slapped my handy dandy brace on it and I'm doing better!! I won't even go into details on how it happened... its just too embarrassing, and not funny!! Also the ward threw a surprise party for Hermana Ladd and told me about it... I knew she didn't want anything like that... because she wanted to work until the last day, not say goodbye to anyone! So I told her so she would have a heads up... because if she walked into that blind she would have probably gotten mad... this way she was prepared and was able to pretend to be happy!! It started at 6 and we said we would be there at 630, and they got mad and were like no you need to be here on time... well we got there late because we know the members here are late people, we got there and they blindfolded Hermana Ladd and she walked in and there was like one person there... haha SURPRISE!! She acted confused, and it was confusing because one person was there, but then everyone started coming!! It was sweet, but a little stressful! Also we sang in church on Sunday and it turned out so beautiful... just the 2 of us sang I Know That My Redeemer Lives, we sang one verse in English and then 4 in Spanish everyone in the chapel was crying... it was powerful!!
Welp I think that is about all I can think of, plus I'm hungry so I'm going to finish this up and go eat!! I hope to hear from you all next week (since I didn't hear from ANYONE, except Mom, this week)
Love y'all
Hermana Gosnell
