heyy there family and friends!
Transfers were this week! I have a new companera! Her name is Hermana Hurst and she is just the sweetest thing ever! Hermana Hubert got a hipster thats for sure! haha Im really excited to work with her! She is just as blonde as hermana sutherland so two white blondes teaching spanish once again! Its is always funny to watch how the people respond when they see us talking to each other in spanish! Hermana Sutherland left to YSA for her last transfer. So we are taking over the area!
It was hard to say goodbye to Hermana Sutherland, but I know this change will be a good one! I learned so much from her! One of the things we learned together was to not let your circumstances define your attitude. I remember Dan always told me this for the mission! Last week all of our appointments were falling though. It was 8:50, so we tried to try one more house. They were there, but didnt answer. As we were walking back to the car Hermana Sutherland ran ahead and jumped up to reach the Gazibo thing in a parking lot. Didnt make it. haha. We then spent the next 5 minutes laughing as we watched each other try to hit it. It was a really cool moment to just step back and laugh. I think we need more of these moments in our life. It is so easy to get down on ourselves and get stressed when things arent working out as we wish. But we have the option to let these moments get us tear us down or simply just understand that you did all you could and the Lord is happy with that. A bishop told us this past Zone Conference on the days where you feel like you did no good, just ask yourselves, "Did I keep my covenants today?" And if you did, you succeeded.
I know I am going to need to take my own advice this next transfer taking over the area! Day by day right?
Hope you have a great week! :)
