Week 75: Don Pedro's Yes Please!

Hola a todos! 

This has been a crazy week. We had zone conference with our masks and sitting with social distance. It is weird to have missionaries together but no one can hug or really say hi other than awkward gap conversations. But it was really nice to see other people and to be trained by President and Sister Harris. They explained more of their vision of the Facebook pages. 

We celebrated Hermana Clark's birthday! We had pancakes for breakfast, cilantro's for lunch (fabulous Venezuelan food), Brusters icecream for a snack, and cake that night. You can't tell our companionship priorities at all with our celebrating, right 😂 but it was super fun!

We also went with the elders and chalked a park. It was fun to get out and add a little brightness to the ground. We wrote quotes and drew happy little pictures. We found a gazebo to do it under because we found out it was supposed to rain that day haha

On Saturday we got to help a couple do some yard work. We moved lots of paving stones and removed a stump. I've decided I like pickaxes. I really love service and working outside with members. It really helps you build a relationship and get to know them in a way you normally wouldn't. So depending on the local guidelines, call up the missionaries to come help you with service. Or better yet, take them to help serve someone else with you. 

Crazy news came sunday night. We got transfer calls, and all 3 of us are being transferred. It's really sad to be leaving them and all of our people. We called Javier to say goodbye and basically just cried with him for 10 min, but that is missionary work for you haha. Hermana Clark is going cross mission to elberton, and hermana Orr is hopping to the next zone over but is switched English, so that is pretty sad. I'm going down to the mission Office area (near Don Pedros eatery) and am becoming a sister assistant. It was very shocking news, especially since I only have 1 transfer left, and have never been an STL before, so I don't really know what I will be doing. But it'll be quite the adventure. 

Tune in next week for more of Georgia's crazy adventures
