Ashley's Mission Email #58
Transfers! My new companion is Hermana Munoz. She’s from California, but her dad’s from Peru and her mom’s from El Salvador. She is so cute and happy and I’m so excited for this transfer!
So earlier this week an hermano in the ward had an accident in his house and a fire started and everything in his house burned. But you know what he kept saying? It’s all material stuff that can be replaced, we’re just grateful that nobody got hurt. That’s an example of humility. We went to his house the other day to help scrape the burnt paint off the wall to start the clean up. (Houses are all made of cement so the structure’s still there, just black.)
Oh, and no worries. We survived la tormenta Erika! We just couldn’t leave in the afternoon on Friday, but it really wasn’t too bad. Just rain and wind and we didn’t have gas, water or electricity, but it was all good. We got our 72 hour kits ready to go! And seeing as we don’t have any type of technology to entertain us, we had a good 6-7 hour talk with the sisters here in the house. Maybe you can try that sometime because it’s amazing how sucked into technology we can get. Put it down and get to know someone new.
But I love you guys and as always, I’m really grateful for the prayers of everyone. This experience is changing my life and I’m grateful for the support.
Love,
Hermana Allen
