Transfers!!!

Well. Im not gonna lie I was REALLY NERVOUS for transfers this week. Friday seemed like it would never come and when it did we didn't even get the call till saturday but yeah pretty crazy. President ended up closing a sector here in sotero and so there is only one companionship here in the ward. Hna bohman went to pocuro and took hna mckinleys spot and will be visiting a lot of the people that I worked with in my first sector! Hna Contreras (my companion) also had changes and she left to Macul. And hna Orton got called as an STL and we got put together in a companionship as an experiment for the mission to see if president will put STLs in a companionship or not. So we are gonna have like 5 or 6 companionships instead of 2 to take care of and we are going to be doing divisions like crazy. So yeah exciting stuff! Haha I'm way excited to be with a gringa (someone from the USA) for the first time in my mission and I'm excited to be able to have the whole ward as a sector so we can better work with the whole ward and all that is happening inside of it. It will be kinda sad to have just two of us in the apartment.... I went from 6 to 4 and now to 2..... crazy. But hna Orton is AMAZING. She is such a hard working missionary, way obedient, cooks lots of american food and we are already having a blast, it's funny because almost the same thing happened to me as to mal. She went with a girl in her zone with the sector al lado (right by it?) and now she is teaching another girl to be an STL without even knowing well how to do it. I'm taking over the sector right next to mine, with a new STL without knowing what I'm doing etc. What fun. 
Well. This week I have a pretty funny story. This friday we were FREAKING OUT all during deep cleaning about getting a call from president and so the pther hnas promised to call us if they got a call and we did too. So later as we were doing our weekly planning the hnas called and told us that they just got a call from president and that me and hna bohman were leaving and so my companion and I freaked out and we cried and I even started packing my suitcases knowing I wouldn't have time later..... then like 5 min later the hnas came in and hugged us and freaked out with us and then like 5 min after that they came and told us it was a joke......... haha it was pretty funny, I totally believed them they made it sound so real. Haha and then that night our phone was ringing and I picked it up and it said that the incoming call was from president wright so I run in the room with the phone and we are all freaking out till I answer it and..... again it was a trick from the other hnas they changed the contact name in our phone as a joke.... so yeah when the transfer calls finally came the next day I was nice and ready for them. And man I am THRILLED to be staying here I love this ward. 

Alex! I cant believe you have started high school! It is the greatest ever huh? I hope you love it! Who are your teachers? Spence who are your teachers? how is your senior year going? Im sending you guys letters!

mom and dad I got the package! I love love love love everything you sent me thanks soooooo much! 

Agh Im sooooooo glad you guys got to meet hna mckinley and you got my pics ok! I cant even believe that she is at home already. I miss her! We lived in the same apartment as the only gringas for 9 months and she for reals became my best friend here. We are going to be the best of buddies when I get back :) Ha. Yep that's funny but so true that all of my pics were little celebrations. It spiced things up and helped us get closer as an apartment.... needless to say I won't be having many of those here with just my companion and I. 

And freak the ogden temple looks HUUUUUUGGGEEE. Dad can you send me pics that the church may have of inside the building? I wanna see!!!!

So another little adventure this week: we have two investigators that were in the road show for the ward this week (which was a good thing because there are only like three young men and 1 young woman) so we got permission to go see it. They did like a 15 min version of tangled which was cute. I was in the middle of filming it and the ground started to move, I just kept filming knowing it was gonna pass but all of the people started to get nervous and you could hear the whole crowd gasp and then boom from one moment to the next it got SUUUPER strong I thought to myself "yep this is it, in a few seconds more we are gonna have a full on earthquake" So I get up and run to my companion, everyone had gotten out of their seats and were about to go crazy when it suddenly stopped. Haha it was an adventure. In the end it was just like a little temblor it didn't get bigger but I think it was one of the longest and biggest I've felt while here in Chile they said it was like a 6.2 or something here in Santiago? But yeah, it was kinda crazy. But interesting! 

Anyway, I gotta go but I love you all and I'm doing GREAT!

With Love,
