Hola Everyone
These week was transfers but because I am in my training Hermana Robinson and I were safe and didn't get transferred. However, it kinda felt like we did because it was a crazy 2 days. So on Monday you get a call to tell you if you are getting transferred or not. Then on Tuesday you leave first thing to where ever your new area is. We had to go pretty early and help the other Hermanas we share an area with because one was going home. So we went and helped her with her bags and stuff. Then we were in a trio because this other Hermana couldn't be alone till Tuesday when her new companion came. So we spent our p day in the house. We made these little pizzas and they were so good. We didn't do any of the stuff we had planned but it was still fun. After p day when we went out to go teach it was defiantly different. It was weird to teach with 3 people. But then we had to spend the night at her house. So we had to run back after our lessons and pack up some stuff to spend the night. The we had to pay for a taxi because it is a 40 minutes walk. We made it in the house literally right on time. There is a curfew and we made it with 0 seconds to spare. It was crazy. Then we made these make shift beds to sleep on. Lets just say it was a long night jaja. But it was good. We woke up the next morning and waited for the new Hermana to arrive. When she got there it was crazy. Her name is Hermana Varga. And she is from, can you guess, South Jordan Utah. Oh wait there is more. She looked super familiar, she went to Bingham and stuff but I didn't. Well it turns she is from the Country Crossing stake and we played like volleyball and basketball and went on trek and all that together. Talk about a small world. So we gathered up our stuff and were getting ready to walk home to our house to start our studies. We had lost a few hours in the morning so we had to hurry so could bust out our studies and get to work. When we finally got home we realized that we had left the phone at the other Hermanas house. So we had to go all the way back. By the time we got there, they had already left to go to lunch. So they we went home again. The whole day we were without the phone, just praying no one needed to get ahold of us. It all worked out in the end. We ran into the other Hermana's in the capilla and they had our phone on them so we got it back. On Wednesday there was a relief society activity and we really wanted Amelia to go so that she could get some female friends in the ward. So we were waiting for her and we were getting nervous, thinking she might not show up. But then she came walking around the corner. We brought her into where all the other women were and dropped her off. It was so funny. It felt like dropping a kid off at preschool or something. The rest of the night it was also cute because Hermana Robinson was so worried about her if she was having fun or not because Amelia is super shy. But we saw her the next day and asked her how the activity was and she said it was so much fun. She had this huge smile on her face and there was another one on Saturday and she was so excited to go to that one too. It was so good to see her branch out a little bit and to have some fun.
Oh also our standards of excellencia changed again. So there is a standard number of baptisms, people with baptism date, people in church, and new people we teach we should be achieving every week or month. Last time it changed in my first cambio. We had to find 20 new people every week instead of 17. That is a lot of new people you have to find and teach every week but it is possible. We got close a few weeks ago. But this time the standard of baptisms changed. Before our goal was one baptism per month. It is a tad bit difficult. A lot of times people aren't ready when you want them to be. But the standard has now changed and we have to baptize someone every week. WOW. That is a lot of baptisms. It is going to be hard but all things are possible through Christ. And man are we going to need His help. But we did have a baptism this week. His name is Juan. He was an investigator for the other Hermana's and so we don't know him super well but he seems like a really cool guys. The baptism was nice.
