It's been a crazy/weird/stressful week. The biggest news being that
Sis Latu got what's called "Emergency Transferred" to Spokane to learn
Marshalese, and to serve in the Marshalese branch there with a sister
from the Marshal Islands. So that pretty much took up our Saturday! Now I
have a new companion who just finished training. Her name is Sister
Hartman, I'll send a pic of her later. Plummer has been one whirlwind of
a trip.
We started teaching Anastasia's husband, Johnothon
this last week! And a 13 year old friend of theirs, Allen. It's been
really exciting :). I love just being at their home, it's so fun!
Anastasia actually made us fry bread this week, and it was absolutely
incredible. And this coming week, Anastasia said she knows me well
enough that she'll share her 100 year old tamale recipe with me, and
teach me how to make it this coming Friday. So look out, world! I'm
about to be a tamale prodigy!!
We also met a member this
week, Sister Williams, who totally reminds me of Jennika back home! But
like, an adult. She's even part Swiss! We got to go and share a message
with her last night, and it made me so happy. I want to be her friend so
bad. It's amazing how many people you meet and love on your mission.
Missions are the best.
Otherwise, I'll be totally honest,
this week was kind of boring. But I love being a missionary! And I'm
learning to love Plummer so much. I'll be sad to leave, whenever that
happens. The branch is so cute.... except they asked me to give a talk
yesterday, and only gave me 2 days warning. But it turned out really
good! And Johnothon basically slept through the whole things, so I was
able to give him a lot of attitude about that. But church sleep is the
best sleep, right? And at least he was awake for the Priesthood meeting,
because he loved that. It made me smile :).
I hope that all
is well at home! I am loving my mission here, and I'm so excited for all
the adventures up ahead. I hit my 11 month mark tomorrow, people! It's
been almost a year since I've been home. It's kind of bizarre to think
about. It goes so fast. But I'm loving it.
Speaking of loving things, I love you all! Keep being fantastic :).
Love,
Sister Johnson
Here are some pics from this week. Enjoy. :)
