Hello friends and family alike! Here is an update on our week. (brace yourselves...it was crazy!)
On
Tuesday we had our Zone Conference. There are some wonderful changes in
the Cauayan mission. We reviewed and sustained our new goals, and I can
tell you, we ARE a hastening mission! These new goals have us working
hard, but we can already see the blessings from trying to reach them!
This week Sister Villanueva and I taught more lessons than we have in
any other week since we've been here!
There are also changes
in our area. Our ward in Pena Blanca is splitting because it is one of
the largest in the area! Exciting, di ba? Because of the change, our
mission president, President Rahlf, is taking two missionaries out of
Pena Blanca. Sister Maunana is going back home to Kirabati at the end of
the cycle, so it won't affect her, but that means that at least one
other sister here is going to transfer. President Rahlf said that we all
might even transfer. I guess we'll know in a few weeks who is staying
and who is going. It will be a challenge either way because the area
will be doubled in size for those of us who stay, and those who leave
will have to work in a new area! It will definitely take some
stretching, but will allow mountainous personal growth.
Later
this week, Sister Paniergo got sick. She was throwing up and couldn't
keep anything down for two days. It kept getting worse and worse until
Saturday night when she was admitted to the hospital. It was really
scary because we were all scrambling to get her to the hospital. Sister
Paniergo had a bad combination of food poisoning from street food and
gastritis that made her super sick. I am happy to report that she will
be released from the hospital either later today or tomorrow. She is
slowly recovering, and when we visited her in the hospital today, we saw
that she still has her sense of humor! We are looking forward to having
her back!
Thank you for your support and prayers!
Love,
Sister Lewis
