HOLA MI FAMILIA Y MIS AMIGOS!!!!
Ok, so first things first, I AM GETTING TRANSFERRED. I am devastated. I seriously love Eastland, so the past 2 days has just been me crying to members, and then members crying to me. It's been great haha. But seriously i love eastland, and i'm so sad i only had 4 transfers there! 6 months wasn't long enough. But yes, you read that right, i am going to HEREFORD. For those of you who don't know where Hereford is, it's ok cause i didn't either. Apparently it's in the middle of nowhere up by Amarillo, and it's world famous for it's COWS. The members here said it constantly stinks of cow poop. So that should be lovely. But I am going to be companions with Sister Linford! So I'm once again the only spanish sister up there haha but it's another branch, so i am SO excited!!! I love serving in branches :))
OK. So we took Michael up to the Lubbock temple this week, and it was a nightmare! So we had to stop at the mission office before we went to the temple, so all the members and Michael just kept going to the temple, and we would just meet them there. Well me and hermana Green get there and Michael had already gone to the baptismal font and was drying off! And we were like "What?! we missed it?!" so we were like super upset, so we told him to get dressed and we'll just do it again. So we were in the waiting room at the temple, and then all of the sudden we saw Michael getting escorted out of the temple, by the temple PRESIDENT. So we ran out and Michael explained to us that he got bored and started taking PICTURES inside the temple. Oh my word. We were speechless. So then we just sat outside the temple for 2 hours while the rest of our group finished. On the bright side though basically everyone from my last area was going to the temple that day, so I was able to see Hermana Melendez (mi madre) and my old Ward mission leader's family. LOVE THEM.
So then after the temple madness, we all got on the road, and we were a little ahead of the other car we were caravaning with, and about 30 minutes out of Lubbock the other car blew a tire. So we turned around and went to go help (Shoutout to my old job UVU atuomotive). So when we got there Hermana Green REALLY had to use the bathroom, so we spotted an RV down the road and went and knocked on their door. Well they let us in and let us use the bathroom! They were a cute family going on vacation to Colorado! So of course we shared the gospel with them while we were in there hahah. But we all made it back safely to Eastland :))
Ok last weird thing. So our neighbors offered to take us out to dinner on Friday night, so of course we said yes! Well we got on the road and kept driving, and driving, and driving, till we realized we weren't in the mission boundaries anymore! YEA. So they took us to this Gospel singing restaurant where they had live singers and it was so cool! But we felt so weird as missionaries there haha. It's in a town called Thurber texas, population : 5 people.
Ok wow super long email, but yea this week was SO weird. But yea my time in Eastland has been my favorite so far on my mission, and i'm so glad that Sister Lundberg, Allart, and Green were my companion's here. They're awesome. I really feel like my testimony of Jesus Christ has grown so much here, and it makes me so sad to leave, but I know that the Lord wouldn't assign me to Hereford if i wasn't supposed to be there. So it should be interesting! But thank y'all for all the emails, letters, and updates, they make my life. Tengan un buen semana!
con mucho amor,
Hermana Neilson
