Hey Family!
So the news is... I get to stay in Baton Rouge for my last transfer!! Sister Wolf is getting transferred though which I'm really sad about. I really hoped we'd be staying together but that's alright. I'm gonna miss her so much. Man, I have to say that Sister Wolf has taught me a lot. And by a lot I mean a lot. She's awesome and I love her so much!
Goodness, I feel so bad for the poor soul that gets to be my companion for this transfer. I feel so bad because she only gets six weeks to learn how to get around in the crazy city of Baton Rouge and learn how to use the bus system and everything. Goodness, keep her in y'alls prayers. I only know Baton Rouge so well because I've been here forever but she only gets six weeks to learn it. I'll have to teach her all that I know!
We met President and Sister Hansen this last week. It's weird...I don't like getting new mission presidents. You expect them to just automatically know you already and all this stuff but they don't. It's just hard because President Hansen came and he wants to change so many things. My personal opinion is he shouldn't be changing anything quite yet cause he just got here and he doesn't know anything about Louisiana! Louisiana is a special place I tell ya. You can't just do things the normal way down here. I mean, I love this place like crazy but some things should just be left the way they are. I mean, we aren't in Idaho anymore. Other than that though they're pretty cool.
Ooh so the exciting news! Geneva and Johnathan got baptized and confirmed on Saturday. I just have to say it was one of the best baptisms I've been to too. :) First let me tell ya. On Thursday we go over to their house and Geneva comes out crying saying she doesn't want to get baptized on Saturday. We were kinda freaking out too because she wouldn't even watch her mom get baptized. And we had no clue what was gonna happen at the baptism. But Saturday came along and Amy's husband, Jonathan did a really good job with them. Geneva got straight in the water and was really calm and only had to get baptized once. It was super sweet. Haha and then Johnathan wouldn't plug his nose so he had to get baptized twice because his knees kept coming out of the water. I'm so happy Amy and her family got to come down. I think it helped calm everyone's nerves and make everything go a lot better. Oh and the best part. After their interviews, Elder Navitikula kept saying how strong of a testimony Geneva has. He said he couldn't really understand her but the spirit was there really strong. So cool and I'm so happy for them. :)
Sounds like y'alls 4th of July was pretty good. Since it was our p-day we switched our proselyting time to the morning so we had the whole evening to do whatever we wanted. Our district had a BBQ at the zone leaders apartment. And then us, the office elders, and the north elders went and got snoballs. (Snoballs are the greatest invention ever. It's a snowcone but it has ice cream in the middle and lots of flavors) And then we went downtown and walked around the city. And got to watch the fireworks on the levee. It was a really good day. Man, I love the elders so much!
That's so sweet that y'all got to see Sister Calderwood! I haven't heard from her forever and was thinking about her the other day.
Anyways, I'm gonna cut this email short so I can send y'all some pictures.
Love y'all so much!!
Love Always, Sister Schmutz
