I don't know how you figure transfers but you are always a week
off. :) That being said, yes, yours truly is getting transferred and replaced
by the lovely Sister Holmes! I love her. I will be getting shipped out tomorrow
to the land northward known as.....CORPUS CRISTI! I'm really excited. I am
going to an area called Flowerbluff and everyone just keeps telling me how
beautiful it is. I have the beach in my new area. Just sayin'. Corpus is right
on the ocean so that will be a new change. I am going to be with Sister
Dudding, who is the Sister I sang with during Christmas. She is great so I am
super excited to just hit the ground running tomorrow! Corpus has the
reputation of not baptizing as much because it has less of the Hispanic culture,
but that won't stop me. If the Lord didn't have prepared people there too, he
wouldn't put it in our mission. We are a baptizing mission.
Everything else this week has been good! We have been keeping
our heads up as lesson after lesson gets cancelled. :) Such is the life of a
missionary. I still love it. We have been doing awesome work down here and I
know that Sister Holmes will be able to step in and take over just fine. :)
Well, the rest of the things this week...well...I have to think
of something unique that happened. That is the hard part about writing home,
everything all just blends together! :)
I got one. I made tamales this week. We helped out the Spanish
ward and made a billion tamales for a Relief Society activity. So, I'm
basically pro now. :) Except now, I don't want to make them because they have
like a billion pounds of Manteca
That is one thing I will miss is being so close to
the Spanish and yummy food! And I'll have to use my English tag. :( But I
am excited! I actually know English so this should be good!
I think one of my goals should be to baptize someone in the
ocean. That would be neat right? I think I'm going to. One of the other Elders
did, (heard the story yesterday) so I think it's very possible.
So, I'm not very good at writing today because I have packing
and getting everything ready to go on the brain. I am a very efficient packer
though. :) I will be able to get it all done but I think I will be sending some
stuff home.
We’re going to lunch today which should be fun. Not entirely sure
where we are going but a member suggested it so I'm game. I've really learned
how to go with the flow down here. But only when it comes to some things. Other
things I say all right, there is definitely a more effective way of doing this.
We’re changing it. :) Gotta love that!
Well, gotta go get the laundry. I wish clothes could just wash
themselves. I will be inventing that post mission; self-washing clothes. Wish
me luck!
Sister Giles
