Well
let's start off with transfers. I got transferred.... where to...
Oriximiná II.... Yeah so I got transferred to the other bedroom in our
house and the other side of Oriximiná haha. I'm super excited because we
have a family and I wanted to be here for their wedding and baptism! I
won't be teaching them now but at least I'll get to see them get
married! So yeah, this transfer was a little strange. Sister Shepherd is
leaving and I'll be the only American in the house and the only Sister
American in the zone. I'm super grateful to be staying here. I love this
zone! And I'll get to travel on the boat and lancha a few more time too
:) Sister Shepherd was balling her eyes out this morning... poor thing.
It was a little awkward. what can you do "sorry I'm taking your
place..." yeah it was a little awkward. Ok this week....
Was
just awesome! We had a baptism! The daughter of our family that we're
trying to marry and baptize got baptized! We had Rege propose to Fatima
on Tuesday. It was so cute! Fatima LOVES church. Yesterday she came all
by herself, she didn't even wait for us! Right now we're experiencing a
power outage. But I'm on a laptop hehehehe. Okay back to my week. Well,
really I can't believe this transfer is over already. It went by so
fast. We have been so blessed the past couple of weeks. We've been
getting so many referrals. It's really the only way to do this work!
So
really this week we were busy getting Erica ready for baptism and now
we're teaching their neighbors. We also had to go to Santarém Thursday for zone meeting. Also, we finally got a piano in the chapel! And now all the members want me to teach them.....
Thursday
night we did a member missionary workshop. It was during the hour of
FHE at the church and we didn't tell anyone that it was going to be
different because, well, they wouldn't show up if they know. Ah, it was
awesome! We made little name tags and had games and role plays and at the
end we showed a video and everyone stood up to sing called to serve
with the name tags. It was really cool and the spirit was super strong.
Everyone was just beaming at the end!
Good thing I'm staying in Oriximiná because Saturday
night we were at a member's house and Lolo (the little girl that I sent
pictures of) climbed up on my lap and gave me a big hug and said "não
vai embora, não vai Sister Clarky" Translation: Don't go! It was the
sweetest thing ever.
So that was pretty much
our week! I think these last 2 transfers are going to fly by. I get
anxiety a little bit thinking about coming home. So I try not to think
about it.
Love you!
Sister Clark
