New things?

Hi aunties -

This week has been a ride. Hermana Sundstrom went home on Tuesday and we said some sad goodbyes that I didn't want to make. All these missionaries have been posting on facebook photos of them and their families and it kills and I'm so happy that they're happy.

The dream teamzzz got together again and I got to chill with Hermana Corona for one day here in Twin and then, after over a year, go back to Burley. I drove into that little town and felt more at home than I've ever felt on my mission, we went straight to Araceli's house and ate dinner with her. Too much laugh, too much love. Me and Hermana Corona taught some sweet lessons and I've missed teaching with that girl. 

We drove back to Twin on Thursday and picked up our greenies - I'm training Hermana Nielson from St. Geroge, Utah! We're pretty stoked and we've hit the pavement hard - the first hour she had in Twin we taught Diana, one of our progressing investigators, about the Book of Mormon. Yesterday after church we knocked on this door and Nayeli let us in, there were maybe 20 people in her little house (for a birthday party) and they shoved a plate of enchiladas in our hand and a cup of horchata and treated us like fam. 

It's been a sweet week to do some self reflecting and remember that I love being a missionary. Through all the crap you take and have to do, I love this work. I love these people. Here's to 5 transfers in Twin Falls, thxxxxx fo da prayers 

LOTS OF HAWAIIAN LOVE,

Hanatea Elkington (Hermana lol)
