Hi!! How is every one doing? I hope
everything is going well and that you are all having a great summer.
Congratulations to Makall for graduating from high school!!! And Happy Fathers
Day to the best dad in the whole world!! So how is everybody? What’s
going on and what are all your summer plans? The kids still look as cute as
ever and tell them I miss them all.
Well this week has been kind of
slow. We have been teaching most the same people that I have already told you
about. But the story of the week is this....
On Wednesday during studies we got
a phone call from Pres Miller. And he asked sister Rose if she would be a
sister training leader next transfer. Naturally she said yes, and he then told
her that she had to drive up to Albuquerque with some other sisters for a leadership
training conference....That day. So we had to do an emergency exchange so that
she could go to the meeting and I would have a companion. We exchanged with a
set of sisters were one was also going to the meeting. So I went with sister
Oxley to her area in Horizon City till they got back. Sister Oxley is 21 and
has been on her mission for 5 months or so. She is super nice and we had lots
of fun. For dinner we went to this store in Horizon city and she got this
burrito with molla. And Molla is apparently chicken cooked in chocolate, peanut
butter, cinnamon and butter. Yeah I know weird right. But since I have
committed to not turn down any food on my mission I had to try some when she
offered. It was the weirdest thing I have ever tasted! She said that it is not
the best molla and that the real stuff tastes so much better. But it was still
the weirdest taste ever. But any way Sister Oxley is called Spanish speaking so
I got to spend quite a bit of time just sitting and smiling while she did all
the talking. But we ran in to some very nice people, and I was able to help
teach a few lessons. Thursday night our companions still had not gotten back so
I had dinner with the missionaries in her area. And I ran in to Elder Dylan
Barns from our old ward! He is serving in the same ward as sister Oxley. So he
and the missionaries shared some of their stories while we ate dinner. And as
for the spiritual thought, it was in Spanish so I again got to sit and smile.
And before you ask no I did not get a picture because I left my camera in the
apartment. But it was great to see him and to meet some of the other Elders.
Around 9 o'clock the companions tell us that they will be home soon, and
that we needed to go to the meeting spot. When we all got there it turns out
that Pres Miller took everybody to Tuconos for dinner and my companion (who has
a paralyzed digestive track and cant eat meat or pasta) decided that she was
going to try a chicken heart. Why she did it I don't know but it was a very bad
idea. Not only was it nasty but all the way home she was super sick. And then
we went home.
So yep that is my story of the
week, we were out of our area for 2 whole days so not much happened. Oh yea and
one more thing when president Miller Called Sister rose to be a Sister training
leader, he also called me and asked if I would accept the call to be a trainer
next transfer. So yeah I get to train a new sister Missionary after just
finishing my own training yesterday. I am very excited and very nervous all at
the same time. So this means sister Rose is being transferred up north and I am
staying here. So my address is still the same probably for the next three
months, which means you can send me letters again. But transfers are tomorrow
so I will meet this new sister then. Last Friday I had to go to a trainer
meeting and Pres Miller said that all of us were there and going to train
because God had called us to do it. So I know that if Heavenly Father has
called me to do this he will help me do it. So what I want everyone to do (especially
if you have been on a mission) to send me some tips on how to be a good
trainer. I love you all so much and hope that your summer goes well. Cant wait
to hear from you all soon.
Love sister Chatwin
