So transfers snuck up on me and guess the heck what? I got
transferred to the South Jordan River stake. I cried a LOT. I genuinely did not
believe I was going to get moved and I would stay in WJ for at least another
six weeks. It was really hard saying goodbye to everybody. Especially my
investigators and my landlords. It was like I was moving away from home again
when I had to leave on Wednesday morning, I got really close to a lot of people
there. Before I left my neighbors even came over to say goodbye! I'll send
pictures next week.
BUT! To make up for how sad it was to leave, I got a giant
super mega surprise by being put back with Sister Loveland again!!! Whaaat?
Yaaaaay!!! We've already started having all kinds of super weird adventures and
it is a giant blast. Tonight we're going to start teaching a new family and we
have a lot of faith for this stake. We know that a lot of miracles are going to
happen here.
Funny things that have happened so far:
A man told us that he wasn't "part of the cult so leave
me alone" and I thought he was joking so I started laughing. He wasn't
actually joking. That was awkward.
We were sitting on a wall trying to figure out which house to
stop at next and a little chubby shirtless boy wearing a towel as a cape drove
by on a little motorcycle.
Last night at dinner a different little chubby boy started
running through the sprinklers in his underwear.
There's a man that dresses like a sea captain that lives in
our stake and we've started seeing him everywhere.
A kid sneezed all over me yesterday in class and then
grabbed my hand and pretended like he was going to kiss it and then put it on
his forehead.
A couple from my last area brought us 4 bags of salt and
vinegar chips and a case of Gatorade last night (which is actually more cool
than it is funny).
We walked past one house and glanced in the back yard and
there was a guy sitting in a giant red bucket.
We taught Elders Quorum yesterday.
There are other weird things that I can't think of right
now, but those are the ones that are sticking out to me the most.
Yesterday we went to church in the 7th ward (which is the
obnoxious mansion ward) and guess who goes there? Elder Arnold. Like of the the
seventy. Also, Sister Amy Prenatt (who I know from institute in Morgantown) is
in SoJo too! She's in my zone and this is her first transfer. Yeah! WV pride!
Almost everyone here is at least 2 feet taller than me, I
have no idea what's up with that. We're over 10 wards and 2 branches. No car,
and Sister Loveland doesn't like riding bikes, so I guess I don't have to worry
about getting impaled or maimed this transfer! Hurray!
Next week (hopefully) I'll send you the pictures from my
last couple of transfers. I do have a couple pictures of Sister Loveland and me
doing service though.
I love you! Be happy! Keep us in your prayers. We're working
hard :)
Sister Hinkle
