Everything's BIGGER in Texas
Hey Y'all!!
Yes IT'S TRUE!! I AM NOW SERVING IN TEXAS!!
Area: Queen City, TX
Comp: Sister Stocking
I miss Mendenhall, Mississippi, and my home girl's Sister Makin and Sister Esquivel SO SO MUCH!! But it's fun to be in a new area that isn't just 30 miles away from the previous area that I served..so I guess they decided to transfer me to the furthest place that they could! QUEEN CITY, TEXAS. It's pretty cool though, our area covers Texas, Arkansas, AND Louisiana!
And I am back in a ward! AND WE HAVE OUR OWN CHURCH BUILDING!! Don't get me wrong, it was so fun to experience church in a living room, but I just about kissed the floor of this church when I first stepped foot in it haha. Things you take for granted right? Also another fun thing about this area, is that my BFF Sister DeCamp served in this area last summer! So everyone gets so excited when I tell them that we served together before.
Okay also some weird news: If I stay in the Shreveport, LA Zone (my current zone) until July..I will be getting transferred to the Dallas, TX mission when our mission changes!! Crazy right?! So I guess in the next few months we will find out if I will end up in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana mission OR the Dallas, Texas mission. Depends on where I am!
Okay so last week:
Wednesday:
I convinced Sister Makin and Sister Esquivel to go to ZIPS for lunch. EVERYONE raves about their “famous” burgers, fries, and sauce..so we went. And their sauce was pretty much fry sauce and I was so hype about it. Shout out to my Utah peeps!
I also had to say bye to some of my favorite families ever! I had to say bye to the Luckey, McCarty, and May family that night! So sad-I love these people so much.
We also went to this boutique place in Mendenhall that we have been meaning to go to for WEEKS, and we finally went, and let's just say it's a good thing that we didn't discover this place earlier or else my bank account would have been damaged. It was a cute place.
Also tears might have been shed this night because I did NOT want to leave my companions :(
Thursday:
TRANSFER DAY. I spent all day pretty much traveling in a van from:
Mendenhall, MS to Jackson, MS
Jackson, MS to Monroe, LA
Monroe, LA to Shreveport, LA
Shreveport, LA to Queen City, TX
So it was a road trip. But because we stopped at so many transfer points, I got to see a bunch of friends in different zones! And I got to ride the t-van with a couple of my past companions- Sister Morales and Sister Gunther! Sister Gunther is even back in my district this transfer! So that will be really fun.
Friday:
We planned for our week and I met the Neilson family! I have been told by Sister DeCamp to visit them because they are the funnest people ever- and I will have to agree. They are my new best friends.
Saturday:
HUMP DAY!! I hit my 9 month mark in my mission! Sister Stocking and I celebrated with Sonic drinks haha-what better way to celebrate right? Then we spent the rest of the day getting to know some of the members in this area! We have been using the excuse of “We have a new sister, can we come stop by so you can meet her?” excuse haha. This ward has some pretty awesome people!
Sunday:
Had church in a church building! It was so luxurious haha. Also everyone in this ward was just so excited to find out that I was a missionary NOT from Utah for once haha. But we also had a ward potluck afterward which was fun. Then met up with our ward mission leader so they could help us figure out this area because my companion and I are both pretty new to this area. Also on Sunday night we came back home, I put my sweatpants on, and the Neilsons texted us telling us to come over for dinner….so I put my skirt back on real quick so we could go get some free food haha.
Monday:
We were on the hunt all day to find people to teach, obviously, what else do missionaries do? But then we went with our ward mission leader and his wife to a PHILIPPINO FAMILIES HOME!! I met her on Sunday and I freaked out because I heard her voice, and I immediately she was my mom- they sound the same, their both Philippino okay..haha but she cooked us a Philippino FEAST. It was awesome. We had a fun lesson with her and her kids and we all had a jam sesh with their Uke's and some Disney music haha.
I love yall so much!! I am excited for this upcoming transfer! Also Sister Stocking LOVES Disney as well- so we are going to get along just fine (; haha
Talk to you on Monday!!
XoXo,
Sister Hunt
