Semana 48
I`m off to MINGA GUAZÙ in
CIUDAD DEL ESTE!!!!!!!!!! The dream has been realized :) ahhhhhhhh I`m so
excited!!!!!!! But wait wait it gets better...I get to finish the training of
Hermana Alvarez! All I know is the she is from Peru, super prepared, and...currently
has dengue. But that`s okay, because really good mom`s take care of their
children while they`re ill right?? Awe I`m so so so excited for this new
adventure. What`s insane is that I
finally had a premonition about cambios!!! I predicted my change 100% woahhhh
yeah haha I am always superrrr off, so that was pretty interesting that my
plans were the same as His for a change :)
Right. But backing up to all
of last week....this week was CRAZY!!!!
Because of passport problems,
I ended up accompanying Hermana Watts to Iguazu for tramites. Tramites aren`t
fun, but party crashing the honorables (those who are finishing the mission)
trip was the greatest birthday present ever!!! We stayed in the mission home
(which is basically a marriott hotel) ate hermana lapierre`s AMAZING FOOD, and
then rode a colectivo for 6 hours. And there we were, at IGUAZU FALLS!!!! One
of the wonders of the world....
And then Hermana Watts and I
got back into the colectivo hahaha...but we made sure to take a picture with
the sign first...haha soon enough it`ll be my turn
Hermana Santana`s headaches
have been getting worse, and Friday she woke up with her eye superrr swollen.
No work.
Saturday we went to Posadas
and spent just about all day in the office or in the hospital. Turns out she`s
fine, just really needs to wear glasses. Ah, the pains of being blind...
This morning we were back in
Posadas so Hermana could get some other just in case exams done, and lucky for
me, I was able to see Hermana Arenada, Hurtado, and Albach one more time before
they head home tomorrow. It wasn`t too hard to say goodbye to Hermana Albach
because she`s from Utah, and will obviously see her always, but
Peru...Chile...it`s really sad not knowing when or if I`ll ever get to see
these people again...yeah, I don`t want to think about that too much...
I can`t believe I have to
leave Hermana Santana...haha I knew for sure we would have a change, we`ve
gotten along wayyyy too well :) WHat stands out the most to me this transfer is
that I have learned how to ENJOY the mission. It`s not that I`ve been miserable
for a whole year, but I have truly come to learn how to be a teacher, disciple,
companion, and BE MYSELF.
so happy.
all my love from this side of
the equator, Hermana Cannon
OHhh! and also random... Tuesday was WOMEN'S DAY, and Hermana Santana and I got interviewed and were on television ha ha. A member from the Rama saw me and took this picture... ha ha añyways an adventure!
