1. TRANSFERS: I got transfered! I am no longer in Mt. Pleasant:( I am now in another small town called Washington. Its very similar to Mt. P but it is a little bigger. I already love it here! My new companion is Hermana Moses. She is basically a weirdo in the most lovable way! Some fun facts about her she plays the bagpipes, is from Texas, has ADD and is hysterical when she forgets to take her meds, and her favorite animal is llamas! I love her to death! We have discovered that we are basically the same person, really we have a lot in common! its crazy! She is awesome! Oh and we have a companionship joke: What do you get when you mix Moses and Rice?..........Gluten free manna! hahahaha think about it...its cheesy but we think we are clever! The only downside about Washington is our apartments air conditioning is broken and i am going to die!!!!!! Thank heavens we have lots of fans and otter pops to keep us cool but i am still roasting slowly. NO BUENO! I dont do heat.
2. ELDER WATTS: Guysssssss Elder Watts is in my district!!!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!! I told Pres. Jensen to never put us together cause we will kill each other!! Really though at District Meeting he threw a plastic knife at me and i insulted him in every way possible. Seriously we can't be in the same room. This may or may not bring about the Second Coming. So everyone prepare for that. Ugh i cant handle that kid! Pray that we dont murder each other.
3. 4TH OF JULY: So this fourth of July wasn't super fantastic. We had lunch with a member and had the BEST tamales i have every had in my entire life!!! Then we went tracting and literally no one was home cause obviously everyone is doing fun stuff for the holiday! Then we went to another members house and had dinner. Traditional BBQ hamburgers and fruit and potato salad and lemonade and all that good stuff! Soo good! And they have three kids that adore the missionaries and are soo fun!! That night we fully intended to go out and watch fireworks and we were chilling at our apartment cause we had to be in by 6 and we both fell asleep at 8. So we completely missed fireworks but we got some apparently much needed sleep. So yeah it wasn't a bad day.
4.PAGEANT: So i was super depressed that i got transfered because that meant i wasn't going to translate at pageant and i was super sad cause i worked really hard so i could do it right and all that. Then at transfers Sister Jensen came up to me and said that my hard work wouldn't be in vain and i get to go and translate one of the nights and they sent me to Washington because its the closest Hermana area to Mt. Pleasant! Oh my lanta i am soooooo excited!!!!!!!!!! i can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):):):)
5.CHURCH: So church was so fun! Washington is a branch too so its pretty small but its bigger than Mt. P. So it was fast Sunday and the branch president told my to get up during testimonies and introduce myself and bear my testimony. Obviously i hate talking in front of people so i was terrified. The first person went up and did her thing then no body got up and it was silent. After a couple min. i was like this is silly so i got up and introduced myself and bore my testimony and sat back down. Silence again. For like 5 min. Then Hermana Moses got up and was like Washington! Youre bumming me out! I know you guys have testimonies so come up and share them! Then she bore hers and sat down. That got the ball rolling and it was a great meeting! My companion is the best! The rest of church we spent in Primary! It was soooo fun! Herman Moses says Primary is the celestial kingdom of church and i absolutely agree with that!! It was a fantastic day!!
So yep that was my week! Its was sooooooo great! I can't express how much fun I am having and how much i love missionary work!!! BEST. THING. EVER!
LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL!!!!! Until next time....xoxoxoxo
Hermana Rice
