Tour de HEREFORD


HOLA TODO!

  So this week went by so fast! But there was so many fun things :)) Well to start the week we got permission to go hang out with other missionaries (FINALLY) because we are seriously stranded out here in hereford by ourselves, so we drove up to canyon, and hung with all the sisters there. And then we started exchanges! I went with sister Hewitt (cause me and sister burbidge have had 5 transfers together of exchanges lol) and it was so fun! They are the sisters on WT's campus so we just contacted YSA people all day. It is so weird to proselyte on a college campus. I feel so weird talking to kids my age about the gospel. But it was fun to be in the city. 

  On Thursday we had zone conference up in Amarillo, and we're seriously like the ugly step children in our zone. Everyone else is in the city, and then we're wayyyyyyy out in hereford with all the cows, so we didn't really relate with any of the goals they were setting for the zone, and they kept saying things like "Well what about hereford?" "Hereford doesn't have that many people" "Hereford can't come". It was kind of frustrating, but I think the Lord is trying to teach me that it's ok to have FOMO of other people. and he's trying to teach me to love cows more. 

  But I had my interview with President Hales, and I brought up how I am a spanish missionary, but I've been in english areas my whole mission. (there hasn't been an hermana spanish area in a year) and so he said that this next transfer he is going to pray over whether i should white wash a spanish area. EVERYONE PLEASE PRAY FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need mucho prayers, because that would be a dream come true if I got to finally go to a spanish area :')) 

  As for hereford, the work is kind of slowing down, but we're still working our bootays off. We biked a TON this week. We were low on miles, but it's kind of fun biking everywhere. I just like being outside. But it's fun. I've got a good comp.

  OH we also found out the stats on our mission. So for every 29 investigators we get here in the texas lubbock mission, we get 1 baptism. on average. not too bad! haha so we just need to find 20 more investigators and then we might have a baptism soon! WOOT! 

  Anywho, that is my week. Nothing too exciting, except for that christmas is in 70 days!!!! haha we are already jamming to christmas music, so it's a blast. Ok love y'all mucho. Hope you help the missionaries some how this week ;))

con mucho amor,
Hermana Neilson

ps. here are some pics of my week :))
