HEY GUYS!! So I got to Orem this week! I got here on Tuesday and wow it was such a long trip. A senior couple picked up 21 of us in these vans and we drove to Lindon to our mission office and then to Presidents home is Lehi! That night we stayed in a hotel and then the next day was transfers so that's when we got our new companions! My trainer is Hermana Mitton and she's from Alaska and I love her so much!
So we are in an area called Geneva and its basically Orem haha! Ya I'm like 10 minutes away from my grandparents, so sad :(( but anyways it's a Spanish area so we are completely Spanish! And it's also a car area BUT.... we are on BIKES BRUH. ya so it's hard. I love biking but we live outside of our area so to get to Orem we have to go up this huge hill everyday and wow I hate it. Basically long story short - before I got here last transfer they had a car, but another set of sisters who are in a bike area, one of them broke their toe so they stole it from our sisters and had it for longer than expected. My companion was supposed to have the car before this transfer but hadn't gotten it yet. We just found out today that we are getting it back tho, so YAY!!
The members here are super nice and I love them even though I can't understand them HAHA. The first day I got here we had a lesson with a girl named Darihagnys and we set her on date for baptism! She's set for November 6th but hopefully we can get it sooner!
So we usually get dinner everyday just by the members or by our relief society president who covers for us if anyone cancels, so that's amazing! And we share a ward with two elders so we always get fed together so that is super fun! One day someone canceled and so we were biking to a senior couple who offered to make us dinner and we were biking on the street and then my companion goes on the side walk but it has like a half inch lip to it and I'm going and I just EAT IT! Ya that hurt and it was only my 3rd day in. And the worst part is there was a bunch of cars that just watched me get totally wrecked.
But ya! My week was awesome and I love it here so much! AND I LOVE YOU GUYS TOO SO MUCH!
Love yall!
