Hi Family!!!!
How are you all??? I really don´t
know quite how to describe this week! It was crazy. Honestly just
another big change. Holy cow can I just tell you all HOW MUCH I missed
you all and everything this week! Thanksgiving with the change of
transfers and everything just hit me hard... but I hope you all had a great
time!
So Thanksgiving... NADA! Haha, I am not
joking. We didn´t do anything! We were invited to go up with the
other missionaries up north in Santa Cruz and La Laguna but then we weren´t
able to get permission to leave our area and go... sad huh! Yes..
I was a little bit bitter about it, haha, but no pasa nada todo es bien!
Instead I had a nice and long 3 hour planning session with my new comp
Hermana Christian trying to explain all there is to know about our GIGANTIC
area of the Los Cristianos ward. Seeing that the area is huuuuuge... I think
that we are going to try to divide the area amongst the 6 of us missionaries
here. Which means that my companions and I will only be working in the areas
closest to us! Ha, it kind of feels like starting all over.. it’s kind of sad
because that means we will have to pass our other investigators over to the
other elders that have a car. It will be hard and different! But I am excited
also because I know that it will make missionary work more effective in the
long run, ya know?? They are hoping to be able to split the ward in a few years
and for that they need a lot of members on all parts of the island and not the
areas that we have been working in.... if that makes sense. But, yeah
looks like Sister Christian and I will be focusing our work here in the Los
Cristianos and Las Americas area... which are pretty touristy but I am excited!
Our plan is to just toooocccaarrr aka knock! that way we can hopefully find
people that live here. I am excited! Sad because things are really changing big
time but excited. Sister Christian is a really hard worker which is so great!
So the weather this week has been
absolutely CRAZY! I am not even kidding you... cats and dogs just POURING all
day. And hard too! It has been a wet and cold adventure this week seeing
that all of my winter stuff is in Madrid. I am just praying that it lasts
just this week! Apparently it is. All I know is that I am soaking wet.
Haha, I need to buy a coat or something because I don´t have anything. I
am about to just go to one of the chinos and buy a `poncho. But everyone
I talk to says that this weather isn´t normal! So we will just have to
see.
Not much to report on this week...
M. baptism fell through. We are trying for next Saturday hopefully! We had
an AWESOME lesson with cute T. T. is R's. mom! She is going
to get baptized soon. As soon as we get her to pray first, ha! We had an
awesome lesson on families and baptism and happiness. It actually was all over
the place! But definitely it was lead by the spirit. The spirit was so strong.
She was so cute! She is got to be the sassiest 83 year old that I know. But I
just love her so much. Just like her cute daughter R. They are so great. But
the lesson was powerful.
I hope thanksgiving and everything was
so great for you! Know that I love you all so much and that I pray for you each
day. LOVE YOU!
Hermana Nydegger
