...to a new flat!! (Did I get you for half a second there?)
Sister
Leota and I are staying in our same area, but we're moving to a nice
new flat in Point Cook. We're moving out because another area is getting
a new set of sisters and they're taking our spot in the Werribee flat.
So we won't be living with our other sisters any more, which is a
bummer, but we will be living closer to our members, which is great!
I hope everyone had a lovely Easter! We had a really
nice musical fireside here in the mission, and I got to sing in the
choir. It has been really nice to take extra time to think about the
Savior and His sacrifice for us, but more importantly to think about His
resurrection and express gratitude for the opportunity we have to live
again and to be made clean through His atonement! What a beautiful truth
that is!
These last two weeks have been school holidays, so
we got to go on splits with our young women a ton. At least two of them
came out with us nearly every day! It's been really cool to watch them
want to come out with us and do missionary work. Some of them have been
less active for a while, but they're coming back and they love coming to
church and youth dances and going on splits with us now, and they all
want to go on missions! They always leave the cutest notes at our flat
and give us the biggest hugs. I'm so proud of them. They're like the
little sisters I never had!
This week I learned a new Aussie slang word:
"smash." It can mean a whole lot of things and be used in so many
contexts. For example: "I smashed that cake, bro."(Translation: ''I ate
that cake really fast.'') "We totally smashed our K's.'' (Translation:
''We really went over our kilometer limit this month.'') ''I can't
believe Elder Valdes smashed our toilet!!'' (Translation: ''I can't
believe Elder Valdes broke into our flat and left us a lovely present in
our toilet and didn't flush and it stunk up the whole flat and now I'm
laughing so hard I'm crying!'') All three of these usages of "smash"
actually happened to me this week, in case you all were wondering.
I'm really loving the mission. I feel like I'm
finally getting adjusted to how everything works here and settling into
the missionary lifestyle. I appreciate everyone who has been praying for
me! I can feel it! I love you all!!
