This Ward I like it...Another
I am being transferred to the Cornerstone Park ward this week.
That does mean I have to say goodbye to my trainer and we will
definitely miss each other. The good news is that we are still in the
same zone and stake. The bad news on the other hand is that they are
sending the bright blue ford fusion out west. The APs called to tell us
and we were pretty bummed.
When we got the
call it was right after Women's Conference and the President called the
Cornerstone Park sisters and we went with them to hear their news. He said, "Sister Paongo, you will be follow up training Sister Holcomb in
Cornerstone Park." We all just got really wide eyes and stared at each
other. We had to stay completely silent it was crazy. Then after they
got their news Sister Paongo was like, "actually the Bowles Grove sisters
are here" so he then told us our news. That means that I am moving over a
ward and will now be with Sister Paongo my Tongan friend. She keeps
following me and shouting "fourth floor last door! you ready sister Holcomb?" This is going to be a crazy transfer. :)
It has been hard to say goodbye to my Bowles Grove people but I am excited to meet the people next door in the other ward.
The
other great thing about being right next door is that I will still be
able to come to the three baptisms. One is set for the 8th. The bishop
announced it in church and Jose just looked in shock. We did not know
that the bishop was going to do that and Jose had kind of been like, "we
will see, that is soon." After Sacrament we asked him what he thought and
his response was "well I guess I better ask for the day off then." So
way to go bishop being bold. Bianca and Alberto's we will probably move
to the 22 because it would have been the 15 but the 16 is the temple
dedication so we did not want their first Sunday
after to be that. They might be like "what have we done? they act normal
until you join then suddenly it changes." Bianca is super ready and
prepared she talks about how she reads the book of Mormon right before
she goes to bed and as soon as she gets up because it is always good to
start and end your day on a good note. Bianca and her son came to
church yesterday and her son cried when it was time to leave so I guess
that is a good sign.
Sister Davies and I
decided to make zucchini bread it was super fun. We each made a
separate batch and mine turned out and hers got weird. So watch out
boys I can cook. She is better at cleaning though so I guess it evens
out. We of course had to pose with the zucchini because it was so big.
Also on Monday
I was forced to play basketball again and guess what I "broke"
someone's finger. There is a reason I do not play basketball people. I
do not even know how I keep injuring these people because I am the most
unaggressive noncompetitive person I have ever met.
I totally forgot to talk about something ahhhhh. Thursday
I was on an exchange in highlands ranch and I was at dinner with the
Ward family. They were asking the common question of where are you
from? I said Maple Grove Minnesota their jaws dropped and they were
like Maple Grove, we are from Maple Grove! It was the best. She is a
chef so she was super good friends with Sister Dubois. They also had a
saxophone lamp that made me very happy. They were nice enough to let me
take a picture. We just talked about Maple Grove Minnesota and my
companion was just super confused.
I love the photo with the zucchini. It sounds like you're doing great. It's always fun to run into people from our same state and even town. Yeah, probably best to lay off the basketball. Keep the faith. We love you. Chauntelle
