Week #26 November 21, 2016 My P-day is now Monday

Hey family!
It sounds like you are all doing well and having fun together in
Houston! That is sad that Lisa can't make it but I'm sure that you will
still have a lot of fun together! Make sure to keep sending me
pictures and updates if you can, I love seeing you all!

This past week has been pretty crazy! I got called as a trainer this
week and I found out through some of the other sisters haha. We were
walking up to shift and 2 sisters were walking out and they were like
"congratulations on being a trainer!!!" and they gave me a big hug and
started walking off and I was like, what the heck are they talking
about. I didn't get a training call. And then I go in and all the
senior couples and other sisters start doing the same thing and im
like, what is this, some kind of joke?? Well, it wasn't a joke. Soon
after, the assistants to the president walked up the stairs and told
me that I would be a trainer! I was shocked but I felt good about it.
On wednesday we had departure breakfast for all of the visitor center
sisters that are going home. Departure breakfast is a time where all
the VC sisters get together and have breakfast and watch slideshows of
pictures of the sisters that are going home and they bear their
testimony to us one last time and stuff like that. I love it! Its a
time when i get to hear basically what their biggest takeaway or
lesson that they learned on their mission. Its awesome. But then we
went out and took a bunch of pictures so that is where most of the
pictures from this week came from. I love all of the sisters there so
much! They are all so sweet!

We also had zone lunch on wednesday so that we could all see each
other 1 more time before transfers and such and that was really good!
Then, we had transfers on thursday and I found out that I was leaving
the visitor center (😭) and that i am training in a trio for a week
until one of my companions goes home. It has been fun being in a trio
but it is kinda crazy at the same time. They are both really sweet. We
are now in Overland Park 1st ward and all of the members there are
awesome! We have had so much support from them in the past few days
and it is great!

We have some baptisms coming up on Friday which is really exciting! It
has been causing us a few headaches though because there is so much
confusion over who is doing what and who is speaking and who can go
and who is going to be out of town and its a mess. BUT we got it all
figured out and they have already done their baptismal interviews and
everything so they are good to go! They are so cute and are so excited
to be baptized! Stay tuned til next week...

I was sad to leave Riverview and all the miracles that are happening
there with Inocente, Pablo, Larry & Cecile and Glen and their baptisms
but I am excited to be here in Overland Park 1st ward and share the
gospel with people here! I know that the church is true, no matter
where you are.

I hope that you all have a good week and I look forward to hearing
from you soon! Thanks for all your love and support! Have a great
thanksgiving and dont forget to send pictures!
Love,
Erin
