Soooo. This has been a CRAZY, LONG week! (Emphasis on crazy.) Here's the rundown:
Monday: Fun FHE with Jasmin (Jorge's sister), Sistah Roseta and the fam. We watched "Finding Faith in Christ." LOVE that one!
Tuesday: Sister's Conference in Belmopan was a success! I was so worried that it wasn't going to turn out so great, but it was even better than I expected. All the STLs were great and we had a lot of fun. Also, SUPER fun to hear from the Hintzes. I also may or may not have called all of the senior couples old in front of
everyone without even realizing it. (I guess old jokes are now part of my nature--thank you, Hermana Mendoza! ;) haha) I just happened to space it as I got up to talk in everyone and said "elderly couples" instead of "senior couples." They made some comments in protest, so I quickly saved it by calling them "the young whippersnappers in the back row." Nonetheless, they talked about it throughout the rest of the meeting. I must say, the Hintzes have now deemed it unnecessary to use the word "senior." They will from now on be known as "the couples." hahaha Oops? ;)
Wednesday. Fun morning spent driving the swiss cheese roads with Sister Tague down in Belize City. (We had to take Sister Montes to the doctor and Sister Hunter couldn't go because she had bronchitis....) It was quite the night! Sister Vasquez and I then spent the remaining hours saying goodbye to people in our area, because she got the call from President Hintze informing her to pack her bags.... :( She is officially in the Dominican Republic recovering her health. And I'm missing that gyal like crazy! I also may or may not have burned my finger with a sparkler as she and I took photos the night before she left.
Thursday. Stuck in the house in a trio all day with Sistah Montes and Sistah Hunter. Luckily I love these sisters lots, or I probably would have gone crazy. (We almost did anyway....) I did, however, get the chance to sew
by hand a skirt for Sistah Montes to wear to their baptism
on Saturday. Not gonna lie, it looks
nice! :D
Friday. Last Zone Meeting with the crew. Annnnnd I GOT MY NEW COMPANION FROM THE AIRPORT!!! Shee nem Sistah Mims ahn shee de deh Flint, Michigan (near Detroit). She's got 9 months in the mission, she is
not Latina (shocker, right?), and she is super spunky! Corozal is going to love her! These last days have been super fun and full of laughs.
Saturday. Full of lots of visits and goodbyes. Also teaching Sister Mims the area. One of the members' houses flooded and so we spent a few hours helping them clean that with the elders and Jorge. SUPER fun. Although.....not for the family.
Sunday. Gave my "last testimony." Taught an improv class in
Sunday school. We ate THREE lunches from members. How we had enough room for all of that? I have NO idea. Miracle from God, let me tell ya! Continued on with our goodbyes and then in the last visit of the night (Elvis & Ingrid's), they called me to tell me that Sistah Montes and Hunter will be having changes and that......I WILL
NOT BE HAVING CHANGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm staying here in Corozal for a sixth change :D and I'll get to stay with Sister Mims even longer!!!!
Such a relief and flood of happiness! I wasn't ready to say goodbye yet. This never happens in the mish. Especially with sisters and
especially in Belize. God must know something that I don't! And I am
overjoyed with this chance that I have to stay even longer with my people that I love so much here in Sweet Corozal. Best. Day. Ever.
Well, I'll keep you updated with this upcoming crazy week. Sistah Mims and I are ready to echar fuego con todo. It's going to be an amazing week full of miracles! Will keep you updated..... :)
