This past week has been CRAZY! It was Hermana Shaffer's last week in Valencia (which we knew was going to be the case for several weeks because she has been here for 6 months) but we ended up being separated for 4 days because of intercambios (companion exchanges). We tried to work as much as possible but with Monday: Preparation Day, Tuesday: District Meeting/Intercambios (Hma. Shaffer headed up to Zaragoza and Hma. Arana came down), Wednesday: Intercambios, Thursday: Intercambios (Hma. Shaffer returned, I headed up to Barcelona), Friday: (I returned)... it was a little nuts (sorry for the WAY too detailed description) Intercambios were great. For some reason my Sister Training Leader changed when no one else's did down here in Valencia so Hma. Arana came down from Zaragoza to spend a couple of nights with me. It was great! She is this super cute, little Peruvian. We spoke spanish the whole time (besides a cita with a Nigerian) which was so nice. Speaking of that appointment, I asked Manuel (our recent convert) if he would help and he was so excited. He did amazing! He bore his testimony at the perfect times and when we asked him to share how he felt after he was baptized he said: That day changed my life, I am so happy.
My intercambio up in Barç was great because I got to be with Hermana Noakes but it went by super fast because we were pretty much running around the whole day doing little errands like getting her piso contract signed and me getting my DNI (yes I am officially legal here in Spain... no big deal that I was like a month overdue for it...Oops... but it's fine because I didn't get deported....YAY). I also brought back an English triple for Manuel, he almost cried when I gave it to him. He is so excited to study it. We didn't have a ton of appointments this week but the ones we did were great!
Well... it's official... I'm training! I am SUPER nervous but very excited! This means our suspicions were correct: I will be in Valencia for 3 more months. Woot Woot! I'll keep you updated when I learn more about it (like who).
Love you all!
