So
we went tracting with the english elders again looking for service, and
we had this super awesome experience at the first house we knocked on.
But on the way out, Hna Pirir didn't see a step and twisted her ankle.
Luckily the elders were right there so they carried her to the car (As
they said, "This is the most I've ever touched an Hermana before!!!").
To the ER we went! And of course it was super busy so we were there for
the rest of the night. Our branch president and his wife had made me a
birthday dinner, but we weren't able to go, so they came to keep us
company at the hospital. :) Hermana Pirir is a trooper though...she just
keeps crutchin along! :) Everyone asks if she was playing basketball to
hard. We say, "Nope. Just tracting too hard."
However,
earlier that day, we had district meeting! E Gaylor and E Lallaton made
me a cake that had 20 candles and also cake pops. 20 is a gross age.
There is no birthday age to look forward to after this... But oh well!
At least I made it through the terrible teens!
Aaaannndd
as for transfer news! So as we were sitting in the ER, we got a call
from President Felix. He talked to me for a good 10 minutes about Hna
P's foot, and then he says, "Well, I also called to talk to you Hna
Ricks. Your assignment is being modified and you will now be a Sister
Training Leader." Because the branch president and his wife were there I
just started crying because I knew that meant I was leaving
Lompoc...but the next morning I found out I was going to Ventura and
that made it a lot better! I have always wanted to serve in Ventura! It
will be such a great opportunity to serve around some amazing
missionaries and so close to the mission president. I know I will learn a
lot from it! So I am super excited! AND I will be companions with
Hermana Griffis!!! I lived with her my very first transfer in Oxnard and
I have always wanted to be companions with her! She is soooo funny and
such a good missionary! (She was Hna Jeronimo's companion.) SO! It will
be a good transfer. :)
Well, I will miss
Lompton. I sure have learned a lot here! Now that I'm leaving I will
tell you mom... it definitely is a SkEtChY town. I wouldn't recommend
living here... But don't worry, I made it out safe! :)
I
hope you all have a wonderful week! The gospel is true! Read your
scriptures, say your prayers, and go to church! Life is joyous in the
gospel of Jesus Christ. Any trials you are going through can be lifted
through Jesus Christ. You don't have to go through it alone!
