Emergency Transferred?!

Hey guys!! Soooo this week was super crazy! We got a call from our mission president early Wednesday morning saying that I had to pack my bags and leave my area...that same day!! I have never packed up all my things so fast! I was on the bus leaving Melo all before lunch. It all happened so fast that I didn't get to say bye to anyone, you guys it was sooo sad. It broke my heart leaving like that! You'd think I'd be used to change by now but I'm not sure it gets any easier leaving people. Even though I was only in Melo for a short time I'm gonna miss them all so much!!


It did feel like a crazy adventure though. I traveled alone again all the way to Montevideo. Not gonna lie there were a few tears, but now I'm so happy to be here with my new companion Hermana Tolley!! She is from Washington and is absolutely the best. She's been through a lot because her companion got sent home early to finish the mission as a service missionary. Hermana Tolley spent a few days in Montevideo until I showed up Wednesday night!


Now I've been here in my new area for a few days. It's the tiniest little town called Sarandí Grande. It's super cute and small and I think I like it so far. We've got normal transfers on this Friday so who knows if I'll be staying or leaving. The mission is crazy but I know its God's work! Even though change is so hard especially when it's unexpected, I'm grateful for the time I had in my trío in Melo and for all the people I met there!!


Love you all!! Thank you for all your emails and your prayers, sending lots of love!!!

ROCHA

Hi guys!!! I finally made it to Uruguay!! I've been here for about a week and a half now!! My area is Rocha which I think is about 3 hrs from Montevideo. The people here are so nice and patient with my spanish, especially my companion. She's from Idaho and is the nicest ever!  We went on exchanges this week and I spent the day with another hermana in San Carlos. She has been here only 6 weeks longer than me so we are both still learning spanish! Im still shocked that our companions trusted us enough to be in charge of an area for a day but it all worked out. Not gonna lie it was way scary going around trying to teach people when we had no clue what anyone was saying!!! The people here looooove to talk and tell stories and so it's a stressful guessing game trying to choose which facial expression to make while they're telling me stories because I never can tell if they're sad stories or happy ones. Hahaha please pray for my spanish. Being in Uruguay is so cool though...

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well! This week was so awesome! We found 7 new people to teach and are so excited because we are finally seeing success in our area! It's definitely been a struggle though because the heat is so intense!! Apparently there is a big drought going on right now and so they're starting to shut the water off in different cities near my area.  Our mission leaders had us all buy emergency water today so that we can all be prepared because we don't know when they will turn off the water or for how long..... ahhh pray for us here in Uruguay!!  I miss you all!! Feel free to write me whenever;););) it makes my day hearing from you guys! Xoxo Hermana Heyborne PICS: 1. cookie dough!!! 2. my first torta frita 3.
