Transfer news....

So the news for this upcoming transfer is..... Elder Christensen and I are staying here in Highland Hills and Elder McQuinn will be leaving :( We are sad to see him go this Thursday but we know that he will continue to do amazing work! So after more than a year and a half I am finally explaining transfers in case I have not already. So Sunday night we get called by either President Slaughter or the Assistants and they tell us whether we are staying or leaving. That Thursday we meet at the North Stake center to have transfer meeting. This is where we meet all the incoming missionaries and then they have call outs. They announce the area, who is already there and who is coming in if anyone. Then there is another meeting up in Austin. So there you go haha other minor details are that we will not receive another companion and we do live by our selves. and we cover the whole East Stake for the Spanish Branch. Which by the way all three of us gave talks yesterday in Spanish so that was interesting haha!
This week was interesting. We had stopped by a part member home and were speaking with the non-member husband and he received a call from his daughter. he told her that we were with him and he handed the phone to Elder Christensen and she got around to telling him that she wanted to be baptized. Miracles do happen. We met with her that night and she told us everything that was going on and that she had been thinking abut this for about 2 months now. She had spoken with her mom (member) about it and finally made the choice. Things have been going back and forth now but there is still hope!!
N is still doing really well. She has been reading and loving everything! We are meeting with her tomorrow.
Fun thing for the week. One of the guys that we are working with; J. He makes tacos for a bunch of people on Fridays and we get them for free. I think his little set up his hilarious because it is so...mexican... haha he cook his tortillas in lard on a stove and has a seperate cooker for the meat. Which he then cuts with a huge knife on a slab of wood (like a slab that was just cut from a tree) and then he has all the salsas and condiments. The meat was sooo good!
Another funny thing is we have a Part-member family and the little girl in the family speaks tex-mex. For example: " Quiero un book." or " tengo hot" it is so funny listening to her haha
that is all for the week!! I love y'all!
