Hola a todos!
So this has been a super crazy week but here we are, still alive and kicking. So I got transferred to Walla Walla on Wednesday and I am currently up here serving with Hermana Dust and Hermana Hyatt! Hermana Hyatt is getting ready to actually go to her reassignment in Chile and so we have spent a lot of time driving and doing all sorts of other fun activities to make sure she is all squared away with the Chilean government. Also, just spur of the moment thing, we all had to get our Covid booster shots on thursday because if she didn't get it that day then they wouldn't let her in the country. So Hermana Dust and I were like well I guess we'll get ours too. So that was a fun adventure sitting in the Walmart Pharmacy. Thankfully the only side effects have been major fatigue but maybe that's also been a result of the huge amounts of driving and running around we've been doing. Who's to say?
It's been crazy up here any time anything happens my response has been, "I'm just here for vibes". So I really have been just vibing as we've been super busy. But a lot is different here in Walla Walla. First off, our area is HUUUUUUUGE! Like the whole Washington side of our zone if someone speaks Spanish, we teach them so that's legendary. Also our zone is incredibly large not just in the number of missionaries but also the fact that to drive from the north Washington boonies to the southern Oregon boonies it might take like 2 hours! Poor Pendleton missionaries are always driving up so far. RIP
But a couple huge milagros! There's this less active family that has a son who wants to get baptized and the mom's a member and she kinda wants to come back to church and so of course we want to help that happen! Here's the sitch. Their house is guarded by giant german shepherds. But I was like, no way are we going to let that stop us. So next time we went I grabbed some leftover turkey from the fridge and fed these giant dogs and then lo and behold, unlocked the fence door and walked in the yard and up to the door and knocked on it. And the mom, Ashley came running out because she was like, "no one has ever just come in the yard before! The last person to do that got mauled." So uh yeah! Turkey and angels, all the protection a missionary needs to help a child of God get baptized. It was like Daniel in the lions den but I was Daniel and they were giant german shepherds, not lions lol.
Also! I got to go back to Basin City yesterday because my friend Jesús got baptized!!!! And it was such a sweet service and he is so very excited to keep progressing and improving!!!!1
Pero, espero que tenga una buena semana!!
