Hey! This week was fun! We had a lot of little miracles.
Unfortunately I hurt my leg somehow and had some difficulties walking for a
larger part of the week. We hosted President and Sister Tavares here at the end
of the week. They told us about transfers Saturday morning and said that I was
going to Evora (or in other words, land of the college kids) and that Sister
Carr would stay here. Then on Sunday President called us again and was
basically like "Just kidding, I moved everything at the last minute. Good
luck." So we're like 90% sure that I'm going to Povoa to serve with Sister
Nogueira, who is an awesome native from Brasil, and Sister Carr is staying here
to train. She's so excited and I am too!
Also Sunday night Sister Carr and I were walking home and I
heard this whoosh behind me and a splash. The Elders jumped out from behind a
fence and hollered at us with water balloons in each hand! They chased us all
the way to our house where we got cornered at our stupid front door that is
literally impossible to open sometimes. The Elders had squirt guns and a sack
full of water balloons and the only thing I could was try to dodge them and
protect Sister Carr as she tried to open the ancient door (which usually only
opens easily on the full moon or if you do a rain dance). Sister Carr managed
to open the door and we ran inside and the Elders ran home laughing their heads
off.
It's war. Have you already heard of the wars and rumors of
wars? It has begun. We're in the chapel right now waiting for the elders to come
by to pick up lunch... What better way to get Elders to show up than to offer
them free food? Well we have a huge bucket of water balloons and two water guns.
Story to be continued but the spirit of prophesy in me is telling me that there
will be casualties on the opposing side.
:)
Sorry for the short email but love you still!
Tchau!
Sister Ellsworth
