Well, Hermana Henderson finally got her visa! She will be leaving to Spain in a couple of weeks. I'm super sad to have to say goodbye to her. She's been one of the best companions I've had. We got really close. I told her that I feel like a mom sending her daughter off to college. Sad to see her leave, but at the same time I'm so excited for her that she actually gets to be in her mission. The day that she found out was an interesting day. I had been thinking about transfers that morning (they're coming up next wednesday) and had decided that they were going to take me out of the area and leave Hna. Henderson here. I have, after all, been here for 8 months. My beliefs were somewhat confirmed when we had interviews with our zone leaders and he told me that he thought that it was about time for me to leave and that I had done all I needed to do in Bella Vista. I thought I was going to cry, but I just nodded my head. I had started coming to terms with it and then we got to a BBQ at the mission home (it was a reward for being the first zone to get all of our 72 hour kits put together) and President came and sat next to Hna. Henderson to tell her the good news. Now I have no idea what is going to happen. I guess there is a slight chance that they'll leave Hna. Trepanier in the area and send a senior companion to her, but I have no idea. I guess I'll be letting you know next week. We have a baptism scheduled for Sept. 5! Her name is Mayra. She's from Honduras. Pray that everything goes according to plan! By the way, she's going to be feeding us soup tomorrow. I'm pretty sure that it's the kind that has little octopi in it. If you don't mind, I could use LOTS of prayers for that too. We're going to see how it goes... I'll be eating at 11:30, so do me a favor and take a moment or two at that exact moment to ask for divine help! By the way, thanks for all the birthday stuff last week! I feel like I'm rich. I used some of the birthday money to take my companions and our member exchange out to lunch. We went to Chipotle:) It was on a different day than my birthday. On the actual day we went out to eat with Yanet at Bangkok 54. It's a really good Thai restaurant. Later on we went to an appointment with Grover and Oliver. The night before, Oliver had asked me what I wanted to eat for dinner. I couldn't think of anything so he said, "What's something that your mom used to cook for you at home?" I still had to think about it because it's been so long. Finally I remembered Swiss Chicken Casserole. Mmmm.... I didn't think he was going to figure out how to make it and was expecting a different meal, but when we got there he had it all laid out complet with rice. It was DELICIOUS! So don't worry Mom, I got my home cooked birthday meal. For dessert, I took some peach dessert that I had made the day before. It was AMAZING. I'm going to make it again this week. I also got a cake from the coordinating sister and her companion (my comp. from the MTC.) The Elders in our district also made a Skor bar cake for us. I've never eaten so much on my birthday before. But it was all SO good. So the work continues to move forward, despite our shortcomings and weaknesses. Which is more proof that this really is the Lord's work and He will accomplish it no matter what. I'm just happy that I get to take part in it. Thanks for all of your prayers and support. I pray for all of you as well and hope that everything will continue to go well for you. Love you!
