Staying in Kearny

Here we are, another P-day and another transfer...

Hermana Hopson and I will be staying together in Kearny. Which I am okay with. We've got some new goals for this next transfer and it will be nice to have a companion I already know really well for all of the upcoming celebrations. 

Fun fact: I think I am going to have the most celebrations with Hermana Hopson than any other companion. Here is the evidence: 

- Halloween (our first day together)

- Thanksgiving #sosick

- Christmas! 

- new year's 

And, now what will happen during this transfer:

- Groundhog day

- My birthday

- her hump day (it's the same day as my birthday actually)

- Valentine's day (I am going to show her how to celebrate, because she has always hated Valentine's day)

- Rebekah's wedding (thank you for getting me a bridesmaid dress! I am excited to see it! What are her colors again?)

Kearny is very safe. There are definitely more drunk and homeless people here than in Kaysville, but we are friends, so it's okay. There have been a lot of fires recently, so we have heard sirens because of that. Funny story: this weekend we were talking to a drunk man and he told us how he knew all about the Mormons from the musical. He then proceeded to sing and do a little tap dance immitation of one of the numbers. It was hilarious!

We are given food Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and sometimes Tuesday. But in Kearny we only ever have one meal appointment a day. Also, on Wednesdays, we take the food to go, so if we don't want to eat all of it we don't have to... But usually we do still eat all of it (because it is delicious), just not all at once. :) 

I love that we have been able to learn so much about President Nelson! We were able to watch the broadcast, and the spirit was super strong!! I am going to watch it again sometime when I have time and WiFi because there were a lot of things he said I really liked. 

Love you!

Tú hija,

Odds and Ends:

1) Jorge (my favorite Colombian man from English classes) seems to think I look like Drew Barrymore. 

2) My mission is expanding and we're going to be getting more of New York!

3) We are texting a less active young man everyday to remind him to read the Book of Mormon. We send him a joke with the reminder, and if he can tell us what he learned in his reading that day we send the answer. The only problem is I am running out of jokes...

Also because it was the last week of the transfer we had to deep clean the entire apartment.

This is the cute nightgown I bought myself for Christmas! And also, my feet are getting toughened up from walking so much.

Boundary changes of July 1, 2018. This also affects Mason McCleary and Jackson Reynolds from our ward at home since they are in the New York, New York South Mission right now.
