Yes, transfers were today, and yes I survived my first
transfer!!!! They say it is the hardest one so I am so excited that it
is over!!! It was good, but it's just about to get better!! I am of
course staying here in Alcorcón because I am still being trained. We
are not in a trio anymore though!! Hermana Finch and I are staying here
and this morning we sent off Hermana Marsh to the Islands. She is going
to Las Palmas and finishing training Hermana Rossberg who I became good
friends with in the MTC!! I am so excited for the 2 of them!! It was
really hard for Hermana Marsh to leave here and us.. but she will do so
great... and I think it is time for us to have to more responsibility as
just a two person companionship.
Last week for
P-day we went to an Amusement Park!!! hence the subject, roller
coasters!!! It was super fun!!!! It was about the size of Lagoon.. and I
would never have thought I would go on roller coasters, in Spain, as a
missionary, but hey, YOMO (you only mission once) haha. One of the
rides I went on were these swings that took you really high and I got to
see the forest by the palace, where the king would go hunting!! What,
that is legit. Today's P-day we went to Sol (which is like downtown
Madrid) We went to a Cathedral and the Crypts. The Crypts is basically
where they store the dead people.. under the Cathedral. Whenever I go to
Sol, I can't help but think how lucky I am to have the best mission in
the world!!
Okay, so this week we did a
missionwide fast to become better missionaries. I fasted specifically
for courage. Because Hermana Marsh had been here for 6 months, we knew
she would probably leave, so we were planning on just being two this
transfer. I knew I had to STEP UP MY GAME ASAP. As much as I loved
being a trio, there were times that were really hard to push myself. I
have been scared to do a lot of things, and I know that this is the transfer
to just let loose, and be courageous. I am scared to death BUT SO
PUMPED. Fasting really made me feel like I will be able to do it!! So
pray for me, like I know you do!!! I am excited to really push myself
to learn more Spanish. I just need to stop being so scared, because
honestly, I know that I can!!!
This week my
testimony really grew on the Book of Mormon!! I always knew that it was a
true, amazing book but I never understand all of its importance. The
other day we were talking about it in companionship study and then
applied what we learned in a lesson we had that day!! The Book of Mormon
is living evidence that Joseph Smith was a prophet. And when we read
and pray to know if it's true, then it will us help gain further knowledge
that this is the restored church of Jesus Christ and why a restoration
was necessary!!
So this weeks challenge is to read the introduction of the Book of Mormon and also 2 Nephi chapter 29! Go! do it!!
Love you all and good luck with school and such!!!
Love, Hermana Berry!!!
