Courtney's Week #45

Well, first off, today I will have a change of companions. Hermana Forbush only has six weeks left in her mission, but they are sending her to a different sector. She is a little bit bummed, she's the kind of person that takes a long time to adjust to new things and new places, so its a little bit lame that she has to go to a different sector with only six weeks left. Especially because her new sector is very different than here in Los Andes.

 

So I don´t really have a whole lot of time right now, we are supposed to be in the office at noon, but the next bus that leaves for Santiago from here in Los Andes doesn´t leave until noon, so needless to say we´re going to be a little late, but we decided to do at least half of our Internet during the wait because I´m a little bit afraid that I won´t get to be able to do Internet later today. My new companion, Hermana Ellsworth is known by the whole mission to be something like a robot, and she´s actually quite proud to have that title. But if we get back late from Santiago I don´t think I will have time to write more.

 

But just in case I don´t get a chance to write more, we had a baptism yesterday, Coni got baptized. It was actually kind of sad because her boyfriend Emmanuel was going to be baptized to, but last minute we found out that we couldn´t baptize him because he doesn´t live in our ward, so he was super bitter.

 

Love you all!

So, my new companion Hermana Ellsworth should have finished her mission today, but she somehow extended for 4 weeks. Every change is usually 6 weeks, so I have no idea what is going to happen to me during that extra two weeks. So I´m not sure if I told you guys, but my first companion and trainer here in Chile is going home today. She is leaving 6 weeks early so that she can get married in 3 weeks! Crazy! The craziest part about it is that when I was with her 8 months ago she wasn´t even writing this guy and was crazy about another guy. Well, she prayed about it and knows that this is what she needs to do, but it is still crazy.

 

So this week we spent a whole lot of time traveling. Coni, who got baptized last week lives very very far away and we had to go there everyday this last week to make sure that they were prepared for their baptism. Emmanuel was going to get baptized this last week too, but he ended up working everyday until Saturday, so we pretty much taught him all of the lessons in one day and all in just a little over an hour. They already knew everything because Coni´s family are all members, but we had to review everything to make sure that they didn´t have any doubts or anything.

 

Well, I´ve got to go. Love you all!
