I May Have Killed Someone

Don't be alarmed, but when I say I may have killed someone, really I should be saying I definitely killed someone. That someone is Hermana Soria.

The mission has fun little sayings like: your trainer is your mom, the trainer of your trainer is your grandma, and when your companion goes home, well they call that a kill. So, in mission terms, I killed my mother.

This was Hermana Sorias last week on her mission so we kinda went ham trying to fit everything in! We started off the week with intercambios with the Hermanas de Sajonia. It was so weird having a gringa with us for the day who was more green/new than me (Hermana Leeland has been here for three weeks). Finished intercambios with them and went directly into intercambios with the Hermanas de Campo Grande. Had a bunch of lessons, walked a lot, learned a lot, etc. I feel really lucky to have the Hermana leaders as my companions because every intercambio we have I get to see and learn new ways I can improve my teaching... anywho. Ended intercambios with Campo Grande Thursday morning and headed to the mission office for Hermana Sorias exit interview. The next day we had one last lesson together with Juan and then she was off. I'm going to miss Hermana Soria tons! ¡Exito y suerte hermana! 

Hermana Gill and I continued on in the obra. Had lots of great lessons. I had to speak a lot more cause there's only the two of us now, but it's good for me! 

RECORD SCRATCH!!!!

okay so I'm sitting here typing up my email, enjoying my pday, and the zone leaders just call and say I'm getting transferred!! What the what!?!? I'm heading 20 minutes down the road to the big city. I'm going to be in the area by the temple called Moroni. 

This week has been crazy and it just got a whole lot crazier!! I gotta go pack!

• had some bombbb lasagna
• it's winter in Paraguay and, get this, it's actually cold. I definitely didn't expect that! Pleasant surprise

• For fathers day basically every dad in Paraguay was grillin (asado), everywhere you went, the air straight up smelled like steak
