I am starting to feel like I might get transferred...It's hard to say though because both Elders are getting white washed out of our ward, again. I don't know.
We received a text from "S" one of our investigators that we have been so close to getting baptized he just needs to move out or get married. This week he was planning on moving out. He's been a little bit weird with me lately but I didn't think anything of it because people are weird with us. Anytime we talk to him he only talks to me but I thought it was just because Hma Hansen's Spanish isn't very solid yet and he wants to be understood. But then Saturday night he text me this long text about my "honey brown eyes" that "tell him everything" and something about him not being able to handle to look in them...SOOO when we got the text it didn't make sense and everything was spelled wrong and I didn't know what "miel" was, so we were on the phone with the Spanish elders and just happen to ask them to translate and we discovered it means honey and that the text was about MY eyes. AWKWARD. So we decided to just ignore the text and act like it never happened, but then he didn't come to church the next morning and he ALWAYS comes to church...sooo I don't know what to do.
BUT this happened to be the same night our other investigator "L." When we got to our lesson with him, he had made us dinner and had a dozen roses for each of us and a box of chocolates for us...
I don't think "L" was hitting on us but the Elders saw our roses and chocolate and then they read the text from "S" and now they think all our investigators aren't interested in the gospel. It's funny but at the same time it's getting really old. We've had to explain quite a few times to our male investigators that we aren't interested in them in any way shape or form and then when our members ask them if they are interested in the gospel or the hermanas they saw "los dos cosas"...
I'm ready for a change.
We have 4 baptisms in our ward this week so that's exciting. The elders have a couple that are getting married and baptized and then we have our couple that are getting baptized on Saturday. After they get baptized we wont have a whole lot of people to teach that are going anywhere... We had a hard week we dropped 3 investigators that we've been working with for a long time that we love. It always feels like a break up, I always want to run back in there and say JK we are going to come back next week and keep teaching you ...I hate dropping.
This transfer has been hard for me. We've had baptisms but it's been hard. I feel like my patience is so stretched. I find myself praying more than ever for charity and love. I think I am gonna be praying for a transfer.
Okay I love you!
Sorry this wasn't terribly exciting..I'm stressed and we have no time..
I miss you!
Hey I'm 10 months:) Happy 4th of July!
