Crazy Week

It was such a crazy week! It is now the 6th week of the transfer, which also means that it is the last week of the transfer. Can you all believe how fast this transfer went by? So here it is again, the excitingness of transfers. Next week we will know if I will be getting a new companion or not and If I will be training, which I highly doubt because I think there is only 2 Spanish sisters coming in. It is so sad though... A lot of sisters went home early this transfer and 3 of them were Spanish and 2 more Spanish sisters are going home at the end of this transfer. President and Sister Jeppson look so tired. It is hard to lose missionaries early. BUT I still cant get over how fast this transfer went by. Its exciting though. I am kind of hoping to see some change. I think Perth Amboy could use some fresh eyes for finding. There is a big possibility that nothing will change though.

So, this week was so insane. Monday after Pday, all of us that were still trapped at the church had to try to get our cars out of the parking lot to go home. Our cars were totally buried and they were stuck in the snow, so we had to push each other out one by one. It was funny. Sister Jeppson was out there taking pictures of us, so there might be pictures of it on her blog. We finally made it home and we had to park our cars for the night and they actually told us to just stay inside... So, we went over to our neighbors to see if we could borrow a board game. WE borrowed monopoly, made a pizza and just played all night. It was a lot of fun.

Tuesday we canceled zone meeting because of the weather again. It was raining but it was so cold that it was freezing, but that only lasted for the morning. By the afternoon it was safe enough to go out. We had to go do all of our shopping then we went to Chick Filet  for lunch. Then, we had to leave for Newark at about 3 pm to make it there by 4:30. The senior couples planned to pick me up at the Newark chapel because I went to go see a doctor in NYC. It was so cool to go into Newark. There is a new chapel there that is so cool. It's HUGE and it has underground parking and elevators. Probably the coolest church building I've ever seen. It was a very interesting trip to NYC. The traffic was INSANE because there was people everywhere who came for the Superbowl but then got snowed in on Monday and now everyone was leaving. it took us to hours to get to NYC from Newark, which is a really long time. We were stuck in the Lincoln tunnel for at least 2 minutes because the traffic was stopped in there. It is pretty claustrophobic in there. It was so fun to be in NYC again though. We drove along the coast and I could look out over the Hudson and see my old area of West New York. I miss that place!! Last night sister Orton texted me and told me that our old little neighbor in the WNY apartment who lives downstairs died. Its so sad. I'm going to call her today to see what happened and if they're going to have to move now. :(

We had zone meeting on Wednesday and that was really fun. Our theme for this month is the Book of Mormon. I'm so excited. We're all reading the Book of Mormon in 90 days with a specific theme.

Our investigators are doing well!! The one who was struggling to understand the Book of Mormon is doing really well now. We told him to just start from the very beginning and so he did. We met with him yesterday and he read the first 13 chapters in 2 days and he LOVED it. He talked about what happened for about 20 minutes. It was really neat to see. Our investigator with a baptismal date is having a couple of troubles and we are going to have to move her date back a couple of weeks, but I'm still confident that she will be baptized soon andI will be here to see it. She is so ready, she is just like a sponge soaking it all in. I LOVE teaching her.

On Friday and Saturday I had a really fun exchange with our Sister Training Leader, Sister Schultz. She is an English sister serving in New Brunswick. She came here to Perth Amboy to spend the day with me. The day did not exactly go as planned, but we still had a lot of fun together and she taught me a lot. She is actually finishing her mission next transfer, so shes pretty old, so I definitely had a lot to learn from her. Exchanges are the best.

Wow, there is some drama here in this little branch. The things missionaries have to deal with are kind of crazy sometimes. It makes for really good stories though. I love it.

Our neighbors are doing well. The daughter will be having her second treatment this week, so keep her in your prayers. I love them, they are so fun be with.

Well, I think that's about all there is to report on this week. I hope you all have a good week!!
