Hello my friends of the real world! Words can't even explain the insanity of this week. So after sister Wilcox left I joined a different companionship in the area and now I am the only sister covering Pima! It's something else. So I had to move apartments which was soooo sad. I moved from the biggest apartment in the mission to this little sketch apartment on the other side of town. So life has just been a bit scrambled to say the least because I never even fully moved out of the other apartment and so my stuff is literally everywhere. And now guess what! I get to move again! I got a call from my mission president today and he wants me to move in with the YSA sisters because my area is still within their area and there are less conflicts in our schedules. But either way, I am still covering Pima ward on my own... But you know what, it's pretty fun! I went to church yesterday with a member and everyone freaked out because I was the only sister. It is super weird and I feel super disobedient all the time even though I am not doing anything wrong. I just have my own phone now and kinda do my own thing. I go with the sisters to do stuff, but I do all of the planning on my own. It's a little extra pressure but I am doing alright. I think I am just sad because I know that at the end of this transfer I know that the area is going to get elders. So I have to get everything ready so that 2 brand new people will be able to know what is going on and what to do.
Other than constantly being confused or trying to get my life together, this week was pretty fun. Life in a trio is different, that is for sure. Not exactly sure how I feel about it, but I am sure things will get better when I move in with the YSA sisters tonight.
Crazy story! We went over to this lady's house to help her put some new curtains up... turns out she is a major
hoarder! Possibly the worst I have seen so far. And I think what made it worse is that she had no idea how bad it was. She was sorry that it was "a bit messy". First off, there was so much stuff that you couldn't
open the front door all the way. Then, we couldn't actually get to the curtains because of all the stuff. So we had to clear out a path to get to the window, and then of course, the curtains are completely rotten and moldy. It was bad. Everything in the house was half way rotten. What got me was a box of nasty candy canes. We were throwing stuff away, but asking permission for each thing of course. And then we asked her about this box of rotten old candy canes, we asked as we were throwing it away because we assume that no person should dare touch that. But no, she said they were still good, she insisted that her stomach could still handle it and that they probably were not that old...

I was super pumped because I felt like I was on fire this week! I am the only sister in my district right now and so the elders started #lonesister. They thought that I wouldn't be able to reach my goals, which would make sense because I am now pretty much on my own and I don't get as much time to work in my area.. But nope, boy did I show them! I reached my goals and then some! It was such a relief and super motivating to know that I can do hard things and that when I am putting in my all, he is there to back me up and take me all the way!
I hope you guys have a wonderful week! You are all amazing! Don't go eating any rotten candy canes, I promise, your stomach can't actually handle it!!
