So, long story short: Hermana George (my current companion) was training and her trainee went home. Not sure completely why, a mix of several reasons including minor health problems and a personal decision, but all I know is that I was in Arlington last monday, recieved a call at 10:15 from one of our assistants saying, "Sister Blood, we need you in Hurst, can you be packed by tomorrow?"
me: "uhhhhh yeah! I'll be there."
I hardly slept at ALL i was so nervous/excited/confused. But basically Hermana Ford is now in a trio with the other hermanas in the Arlington spanish ward covering those two areas and I came in to Hurst to fill the spot of the sister that went home. Hermana George is going home at the end of this transfer and she is AMAZING. She is from Orem and has suuuper good spanish and is 22 and is so energetic and happy and a really amazing missionary. I have a lot of respect for her and she's handled the whole situation with a ton of grace.
So i'll at least be in hurst for the rest of this transfer, probably another one after that, and I may even finish my mission here, who knows! But i love it here, on Sunday it was a big reunion with the ward and the bishop's wife even said, "the prodigal daughter returned home!" :) I'm glad the people here consider this place my home and that it's not just me. We're going to be working with some people that I was working with a YEAR ago when I was here (time goes by waaaay tooo fast!) and basically it's just going to be suuper super awesome. I love Hurst.
Not a lot of time, but we are seeing miracles daily. We found 4 families this week! It was really cool. They all have tons of faith and tons of potential. It's awesome.
I'm glad y'alls week has been going well in utah and such! The package arrived safely and I made sure to wear my new fancy BYU shirt to our Pday activity at the church to play basketball and volleyball with some other missionaries in our stake :) yeah BYU pride!
In response to your pregunta dad: The book of mormon is SOO key. Because literally everything our investigators have questions about can be resolved if they know that the book of mormon is true. I can't remember if i told you this, but our mission is reading the whole book of mormon in 2 months with a specific question in mind, a question we choose personally. I'm studying the nature of the Godhead but really as i read, I see that this book answers literally any question anyone could have about their life or about God, like, "does God really know me?" or "how can I have better family relationships?" or even "how can i do better in school?" It is such an amazing book and could only have been written and translated by the power of God. I'm glad that you will be speaking in the spanish ward! say hi to my people :)
I love you all soooo much! have a beautiful week!
<3 Hermana Sangre
P.S. I have homework for y'all over the next few weeks: this is for everyone in the family if possible, and anyone you want to forward this on to: Can you write your testimony and email/send it to me? I want to know what experiences in your lives lead you to know that this church is true. Basically, y'alls conversions stories. :) I know you probably have a million and one things to do, so if it takes some time that's ok, but I was just pondering this the otehr day and thought it'd be a cool thing to have. :)
