NEW COMPANION FROM AMERICA

Longest. Week. Ever. Oh my goodness I feel like this week has been
going on forever and that my new HIJA and I have been serving together
for at least 6 months. Its probably been the craziest week of my
mission and maybe my life soooo yeah...WELCOME HERMANA ANDERSON!!

Alright let's start from the beginning:
Tuesday I said goodbye to my favorite Spanish companion and then Elder
Lindley and I set off to pick up our hijos! The whole matching up
greenies with their trainers was just as dramatic and exciting as I
remember and it was even more special for me because it was the last
new group coming in before President and Hermana Deere leave! We all
gathered in the palace (the mission home) and were assigned our
trainees. I am companions with the beautiful Hermana Anderson from
Draper, Utah!! My second American comp! 

Ah man I'm so excited to be
with her, we've already had so much fun!! She's already got me caught
up on all the slang and everything. So now I'm on point--my comps DA
BAE. Haha I sound like dad when he tries to be cool.

Anywayssss we spent the night at the mission home and the next day we
headed to Jaen! After a five hour grueling bus ride my comp was
welcomed into a Jaen by a drunk man trying to give her kisses. Nice.
So after defending her from him and then running away from another man
who was trying to beg money from us we finally made it safely to our
apartment. Best start ever. And it only gets better!
The third day hermana Anderson grew these impressive blisters ON THE
BOTTOM OF HER FEET! Never knew that was possible. But she pushed
through it and was a hero and tried to hide it from me all day but
when we got back to our apartment she took her shoes off and she
literally had HOLES in her feet! Im pretty sure I saw muscle! Guys, I
only had my comp for two days and I already broke her!!! But she is
amazing. She can barely walk but We were still able to work and see so
many miracles!


For example, the first thing we did was sat down and decided that
Hermana Anderson would be the one to invite people to baptism in every
lesson with an investigator for that week. She listened to the Spirits
promptings and invited three people to baptism, two of which said yes!
One of them, Margarita, I had contacted on the street the week before
and we found out that she had been taught by the missionaries years
before but had somehow lost contact with them. She's GOLDEN guys! She
even told us she would switch work around so that she could come to
church on Sundays! BAM. Miracle. The other woman was Becky, the friend
of a recent convert. We even set a date with her for June 13th so
we'll see what happens! BAM. Miracles. The third is a gypsy woman who
Hermana Anderson street contacted pretty much all by herself her first
day (mind you she's only studied Spanish for 6 weeks yet she is
rocking it!!) it was an amazing lesson but we just need a little more
time with her to help her see how much her life can be blessed by
following Christs example.

Another miracle we had was we finally got iPads!!! Friday we took a
bus to Granada and our assistants to the president handed them all
out. Haha it was quite a sight to see 15 missionaries crowded in a
small room attempting to use technology that we haven't seen or
touched for up to 2 years! It was pretty frustrating and one of the
most stressful things I've had to deal with so far on my mission but I
know once we get the hang of it it will do so much good! And plus, not
only will we able to go home knowing how to use technology, but we
will know how to use it WELL. And then we can teach our families and
future children how to use technology in the best way and how to avoid
temptations lurking on the Internet and how to avoid wasting time.
That's honestly what I'm most excited for.
So yeah, pretty crazy week....it got super hot again...pray for my
comps feet please....and that these iPads won't stress me out too
much...I LOVE YOU ALLL! HAVE AN AMAZING BLISTER FREE WEEK!
HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!!

Love,
Hermana Morrow


PS hit 11 months!! In our first moments together my comp asked me how
many months I had in the mission and when I told her 11 her eyes got
big and gave me a look as if I was going to die (end the mission) like
tomorrow. So apparently I'm old. Doesn't help that there's now
officially only SEVEN Hermanas in the entire mission that have more
time than me. Where has the time gone!!! Ahhhhhhhhh!
