Mi familia!
I am almost too happy to write right now! I am serious, God loves me and that is for real.
So the beginning of the week was nutso, we were trying to pack and
clean and organize and say goodbye, and it was new years and all those
shenanigans. But it was great times. I love Harrisonburg, and all my
cute members. I was sad to say goodbye, but ready for some change. I
think I was most sad to say goodbye to Joshua, Flors son, he is my bff
and knows my name (the only missionary) and gives me besitos and is the
cutest. But we visted them, of corse, and mostly everyone. We had a
fun zone p-day where we tryed to make a fire and roast mallows, but it
was too windy so we used the stove. It was fun to see all my little
missionaries before the change.
So TRANSLADOS! Hi. They called on sunday
night to tell us we were moving, but this time they didnt tell us who
with or when until the transfer meeting (usually they call agian on tuesday).
So I was freaking out. Mostly just had a pit in my stomache. I mean I
knew the Lord would send me where I needed to go and all that jazz, but
it was just nerve wracking. So we got to the meeting and we were
singing and all that and President starts calling out
companionships...and the second to last one was..."Going to
Chesterfield...Hermana Rosen and Hermana Myer"...we both about screamed
and DIED. I was so happy. Also maybe shed a tear. And that is how it
happend. The Girlz are back!
We couldn't be happier. We are in Chesterfield, which is in
Downtown Richmond. I think we are actually called the Midlothian
Hermanas...because there are 4 sets of missionaries in the WARD, thats
right, a real live ward filled with the cutest little hispanics! And
clearly we are White Washing the area, Kam was in Stafford before, so
that is a little nuts. Our area is HUGE. Our ward covers 2 Stakes, and
our area is the biggest...so it is a big change. But it is so so so
exciting. There is so much work going on here and there are so many
members! We also live really close to President and the Mission Office
so thats fun. Also we live in this cute little blue house, with a set
of English Sisters.
We have been trying to get aquainted with all of our members and
also learn the area. We have done a ton of mapping and that kind of
stuff. And a ton of progress record reading, which is always good. It
is so weird just swooping in on someone elses missionary work, but it is
exciting! We have some really great people to start working with and
also some new potentionals that we picked up along the way.
Church was a little bit crazy, there are just so so so many
people. It will take a while to meet everyone and start getting names
dowm, but it will all be great! We also have some awesome missionaries
in our ward. We have the sister training leaders, Hermana Carn y
Hermana Walis, the Zone Leaders, Pedraza y Perrault, and my friend Elder
Burbank again, and his compy Elder Grange. We are just so happy!
White Washing an area is a little tricker than I had imagined, but
Hermana Rosen is the best missionary. She is just so organized and
ready to work and we are on the same page, and having the time of our
lives. Missionary work is the best and having her with the same goals
as me, makes everything so much better! Also the miracle of all
miracles is that we have been able to understand everyone that has
talked to us. Lessons and contacting and members, all that Jazz. I was
a little worried, but the Lord really does bless you when you need to
be blessed. I am so grateful for this opportunity to work hard and to
love everyone. And I am so grateful for Hermana Rosen, I couldn't
imagine anyone better to do this work with. Happy happy new year!
Sorry for all that info, but like I said, I am just so happy.
I hope you all have been making your goals, and I am happy to hear
that life is getting back to a routine. That is always good. You guys
are such an inspiration to me to keep working to be happy to just do
what the lord would have me too. Thank you for your love and support
always! I hope you have the best week!
xoxo Hermana Myer
Also PS Hermana McBride took my place in Harrisonburg! So Hermana Sevilla is training her and she is sleeping in my bed!
