BIG SUPRISE

Hey howdie hoe family!

Happy 9 Months! :) so crazy that I have now hit this part of my mission. It all seems to have happened so fast and I cant believe that its already here.....just crazy crazzzy. p.s. the things im sending is to help me not count the days but make the days count and let you two worry about the counting down days part ;)

Well yesterday I went to dr and you know what he did? removed my stiches! A shoe is now on my foot! mind you that its swollen...I look like I have prego cankels. but nonetheless, a shoe is on my foot! :)

And transfers happened this week. BIG SUPRISE. Ive been transfered. I am no longer working in the downtown city. Now Im in the suburbs of Chicago, Arlington Heights-right next to the temple. I am also no longer training. My companion is Sister Reyes---name ring a bell?? well it should. we were companions in the mtc the first week and then she moved up to the advanced class. But now we are serving together in the field and both celebrating our 9 months together. I really wonder what this transfer will hold. Im no longer on a bike which makes me really sad...but its good. there is a reason for the change. I may not know what it is but there is one. If the only reason I was in the city was to find Irma than it was worth it. This transfer will be full of adventures just a different kind-Hna Reyes has been in this area for 6 weeks and Im the senior companion and also the driver :/ well see how long THAT lasts.

Not gonna lie the change took me for a loop-no pun intended. but I really felt like I was just getting to know Hermana Hoer and we were doing some great things and talking to some cool people in the city. But there is something else to learn and someone else who needs me here. It will be good. Nothing like the life of a missionary. :)

The weather here is plain nuts! No building here in the city has a thing called aire conditional aka air conditioning. which I dont understand. houses in az have heat and ac and yet here chichage actually really needs the heat AND the ac and the buildings dont have ac. just crazy. So its been HOT these past couple days. hittin the 90's and just keeps climbing. This year Illinois skipped spring and went straight from winter to summer. weeeee for sweating. and sweating and sweating. :)

Thats all I've got to report this week- :) hope all is well! sure miss you all very much!

Paz y Amor Hermana Maughan

p.s. I finished the Libro De Mormon hoy en espanol! :) :)
