Well! I found out today that I am being transferred! Transfers are tomorrow morning, so I'll find out where I'm going then. I'm scared. And nervous. But excited. Kinda. Ha! I am not however being transferred to Brasil. I wish! But I STILL don't have my visa.. I'm not so sure I'm going to be going there after all. So many people in the ward have been telling me they don't want me to ever leave and that I should just stay here in Miamisburg for the rest of my mission. Hahah. They're all so nice. But I think they jinxed me (; Now I'm leaving just not to Brasil. Hopefully some day that will become a reality. Cause right now it just seems like a dream I made up and it's not going to happen..
Well lets see what happened this week.. My friend, Emma Hansen, reported to the MTC this Wednesday! I received an email from her on her first P-day there! She's doing awesome. She leaves for Singapore in a week! She's super pumped! I'm excited for her (:
So every Friday we have Weekly Planning. Which is just planning for three hours of things that will happen during the week. Well our zone decided to do it all together at the church. It was different. And awkward because there were 20 missionaries there at the church, and there was a funeral going on! A bunch of missionaries equals loud and goofing off, and a funeral equals quiet and sad.. So it was a bit weird. But basically all they did was quarantine us in little rooms to do our planning. Instead of in the comfort of our apartment. Ha! We were in the tiniest room, for TWO hours! I felt like I was in prison. It was hilarious. We had to take brakes every so often. Which worked out well cause I got to talk with my missionary friends (: Well when that was finally over, we were all in the parking lot, and as I was backing S. Clawson out in the car, I like to mess with her and run into the car so it looks like she hit me (it freaks her out. She's not the best driver, so it's hilarious to mess with her), well I did that and like 10 missionary heads all turned to look at me with the most worried looks ever! They thought that S. Clawson actually hit me! Then I just started laughing and they realized it was a joke and everyone just started cracking up! It was so funny, S. Clawson was so embarrassed, it was cute.
Then I had one of the best nights ever! We had dinner at Olive Garden with Mariah, Shelly, Lauren and Valorie. Which is the group that was always at Mariah's lessons. Basically we're all just family, and it's happy. So we got together and had a blast. I love them SO much. It doesn't even make sense how much. It was so cute, during the dinner, Mariah just randomly said, "I love you all." It was the sweetest thing ever! I'm so blessed to know them. It was fun (: Valorie asked if I was going to move to Ohio after my mission, ha! No. And she said that's alright and that they'll just start a "Sister Dunn Visit Ohio Fund." Which I'd be okay with! (: Then the next night was Laurens Sweet Sixteen Birthday Party! And it was hoppin! We helped set up lights and Valorie had done a great job decorating, it was beautiful! It was just a giant dance, and it turned out great. S. Clawson and I did our missionary work by setting out Pass-A-Long cards on all the tables (: Hopefully people took some! Lauren wanted us to convert some of her friends. Hah! But it was so fun. Hanging out with them all again before I leave. Mariah introduced us to her boyfriend! Who just got home from his mission in Mexico! And they are adorable together! I'm so happy about her. She's doing AWESOME! So that was a lot of fun (:
Other than that, not much happened. I have a Transfer Journal, which is basically just a missionary yearbook. You have other missionaries sign it and families sign it. Have them write a little something and then put contact info so I can reach them. It's nice, I like it. So I got all the missionaries and everyone to sign it. It's been fun here in Miamisburg. I'm sad to leave.. Mixed feelings. Knowing that I won't see Mariah, Shelly, Lauren or Valorie for awhile is a sad thought, and I don't like it. Hopefully I'll get to see them tonight.
I'm so jealous that you get to go to the temple! Seriously. I miss it SO much! I'm dying out here! Going to the temple would seriously help me out. I need that kind of upliftment, and yet, I can't. It's not in our mission, so we can't go. I honestly cannot wait to get off my mission to finally go to the temple! Whoa, okay, when I just wrote mission, it was weird, like I forgot that I was on a mission! Ah, what?! I'm on a mission, weird. Oh gosh. Ha.
I'm sad about the holidays.. I'm hoping it'll just seem like another day and it won't really set in that I'm missing out on Thanksgiving dinner and traditions with my family.. Cause that's hard just thinking about it. Ha! And also.. So because I am still staying in Ohio, I found out that our mission president doesn't let missionaries Skype home.. They can only make phone calls. When I found that out I almost started crying. Like seriously?! So don't get your hopes up of actually seeing my face.. You may just be hearing my voice.. Sad.
Well I've gotta email some other people and then I gotta go pack up all my crap.. Yuck. Not looking forward to that..
I love you all so much! Thank you for all your prayers. You are seriously the best family ever. I couldn't do this without you! Yesterday marked my 4 month mark! Can you believe it?! I've already been out 4 months. Crazy!
Love you all,
Sister Clara Kay Dunn.
--We're just goofs. Ha!
--Seriously, feeding my so called "friends" is scary! I went up there and there were zero ducks, and I just threw a piece of bagel, and before I knew it, I was surrounded! They're freaks! Haha. It was exciting.
--I don't know if I've mentioned Angela a lot, but here's a picture of her and I (: She loves feeling the Spirit and is doing great! She's a sweet woman.
--Sister Sofele and I (: She's my best friend. Basically it's just hilarious to be around her. I think the elders think we're weird. Which is saying a lot because elders are weird. Ha!
--Aunt Val (Valorie Guerrero) and I (:
--Shelly, her dog Ryker and I. Seriously, when I grow up, I want to be Shelly. She's incredible and the BEST member missionary.
--Posing at Laurens birthday party. S. Clawson, Mariah, Deerdra (a friend) and me (:
--Me, Deerdra, Mariah and her boyfriend Andrew.
--And Mariah and I (: She is my best friend. She is incredible and I love her so much. She is why I'm in Ohio. And I am so glad that I got to meet her and be a part of her conversion. I'm sad to leave her.. But I know the work I'm doing is great. And the Lord needs me somewhere else.
