HOLA HOLA!!! We've got a lot to catch up on so let's just get right into it shall we? We had transfers this week and that was a whooooole thing haha. Basically at 5:00 the last p-day they told us pack all your stuff, you're gonna be getting the transfer news TONIGHT! I was like ummm perdón? We're not supposed to get transfers until Thursday but okkk cool so do I need to pack? So we went to a noche de hogar anxious and waiting for the news, only to remember that we won't have internet/light to get the text of the tranfer news so we went to the shop of our convert once again sitting in pitch black waiting until the elders called us telling us the transfers came in. Meanwhile, I'm walking around the store like a lunatic with the phone up in the air to get reception and finally we got the text! When I saw the transfers my jaw DROPPED. I'm training, opening an area, and hermana leader all the at same time. Like the title of my email said...surprised is an underst...

We ate something super special for Thanksgiving lunch...hamburgers and fries...surprise surprise. Cuz that's literally all there is here I never want another hamburger again ☆while we were eating Thanksgiving lunch with the district, the music in the restaurant stopped for an ad ABOUT OUR CHURCH it was such a fun moment to hear ...
