Not
much happened this week to write about. It was kind of a tough week and
I forgot to bring my old planner that has all the stories that I
haven´t written about yet. :/
We
had transfers at the beginning of the week. I am staying in my same
area and I got put into a trio with two other Americans; Sister Bruno
and Sister Oborn. We only had Sister Oborn for 5 days and then she got
transferred back to her old area, but it was a good 5 days as a trio.
Tuesday
night, after transfers, we realized that we were going to have 7 people
sleeping in our house that night. This house really is only big enough
for two people. We´ve been having four sisters there, because the stupid
elders refuse to move out of the house in our area, and we make it
work. But 7 is just too much. We have two beds, one of which is broken
in the middle, so it sags like a hammock. Sister Brita and Sister
Jennings slept on the beds. We put two of our three cushions together
and Sister Bruno, Sister Oborn, and myself slept sideways on the floor.
Sister Sorensen and the sister that was her companion until she left got
to share the last cushion on the floor. It was a little ridiculous, but
everyone survived. The best part was the bathroom we all got to
share...
Let´s
see....what else...Sister Oborn almost lost her eye. And I´m not even
exaggerating. On some streets the gates have these metal trays that
stick out for people to put their trash on. I don´t know why it´s better
to suspend the trash in the air rather than set it on the ground, but
whatever. Anyways. They have these trays that stick out over the
sidewalk about eye level if you´re shorter than me. Sister Oborn was
walking along, looking at the ground, and BOOM. Smacked her head on the
tray. She had a cut that was so close to her eye that it was touching
the inner eyelid. Then it puffed up and turned colors. She was a little
less than pleased about that.
Sorry, I know this is not a very interesting letter, but I guess that happens sometimes, right?
Have a good week!
