Week 55

So, we just had the weirdest week ever. Just know that I am now in Linda Vista and my zone is called Monte Alban (just letting you know mom:)). If you have Seen Nacho Libre movie, Monte Alban are the ruins where Nacho takes his children to at the end of the movie! My comp is Hermana Martha Ray from Arizona and it actually turns out that she was comps with Hermana Olsen in the MTC..... She's dying this transfer....:) And after this week I've questioned if she might die for real!

So, on Monday, Hermana Arancibia and I got everything packed up and cleaned and I came to realize while packing that I am going to have to do a lot of throwing away of my stuff within these next 6 months. We went to the ADO for our new comps and it was awesome because I met the Hermanas that have been in Reforma! They caught me up on all the news! Everything! Like a guy we taught there (named David) got baptized and he always told us that he didn't want to. They haven't been able to find Edgar or Martin lately. But our baptism, Hermano Hugo, is falling away from the church!!! No! He says that it's because no one in the ward visits him or talks to him and he still has an issue with tithing so he just tells the Hermanas they are wasting their time when they visit.... So sad..... But I left with Hermana Ray and her old comp and we went off to Linda Vista and bought food and whatnot. I will miss Hermana Arancibia very much!  We live with the bishop so I met his family and other people that they visited. It was cool. Our area is literally the side of a mountain! Like you have to climb up stairs because it gets so steep. I love it!!!

Tuesday.... I saw someone pass out for the first time!! My own companion! We went back to the ADO to drop off Hermana Ray's old comp and we came back to start teaching. We had a really good lesson with our ward mission leader and then we started walking up the street but then had to go down one. When Hermana Ray stepped up onto the sidewalk she totally slipped and extended her leg a little too much. She thinks she might have pulled her thigh. But she was okay and just wanted to go sit on a little step outside, but when she got there she started getting queasy and her face went white and her lips were purple... It was weird. But then she started freaking out that she was going to pass out and everything and I had no idea what was going on. I kept asking her questions, she went cross-eyed, and she would not answer me! Then she started talking and then stopped.... And I saw water rolling down the hill.... Then she got up, told me to call the bishop and I had no idea what to tell him because there wasn't a street name... It was crazy! But my comp finally got up and she told me that she passed out at least 6 times within 5 minutes and I didn't even know.... And we ended up laughing even more because I fulfilled my last name as being Hermana Ray's “walker” and that fact that it was water I saw. She was so dead to the world that she peed her pants.... It was hilarious!!!

We also went and got Hermana Eichstaedt from the hospital. She just got her gallbladder out and we had to watch her until Friday. So we got to go to Reforma! And we also went out into Centro to drop off her gallbladder and this weird liquid that was coming out of it to go get studies of it. In fact that is what we did all week. We went back and forth, from Centro to Linda Vista to Reforma back to Centro and home, basically every day! It was so much fun! But I am so tired and I miss teaching... And studying....Hermana Eichstaedt ended up going home that week, 5 weeks before her actual return home date.

I also got to speak in Sacrament meeting about the missionary work. It was pretty good. And this ward seems pretty cool. It's just getting them to come with us on visits that’s the issue....

Well I hope that you enjoyed learning about my week and my new comp. She's pretty great and we have so much fun. I love having an American comp again:)

Love you all!
