Still Got My Eyebrows 1/18/2016

Dear Family,

This week went by very fast! I swear it's getting faster and faster. Next week begins my 2nd last transfer. I also got an email today from the mission office asking me what airport I want to fly home to. It freaked me out!! 

I had a great week. I'll first tell the story explaining my subject. We have a gas oven that we have to stick a flame into this bottom hole thing. Sometimes you have to blow on the flame to get the oven lit. So Sister Vernes has trouble lighting it. She asked me to do it. I go to the oven light a q tip to stick in the hole. I give a little blow and BOOM there's an explosion in the oven and all the weird fluff stuff blew out of it. I shut the oven and we were just all in shock. Sister Vernes kept on asking are you ok?? The only thing I kept saying was, "Do I still have eyebrows?? Is my hair there?" Turns out some front baby hairs were burnt off but thankfully nothing elses haha. We just all started laughing like crazy. I was so confused why it did that but then it turned out that Sister Vernes turned the gas on--then went to the bathroom--then asked me to light it. Hence the huge flame that erupted! No harm done but a lesson learned. 

Cool story from this week is our less active Sister Klas. She is not smart but just the nicest lady. When we first found her we would teach and she wouldn't understand anything. Last week we started to really focus on the Book of Mormon with her. We've been reading together and she's been reading on her own. Her comprehension has shot up. She's understanding so much more! It's been fun to see. 

We also have a new investigator names Radjan. Found him through contacting in the city. He grew up hindu but he's super smart and knows stuff about Christianity  He's been reading and understanding everything. He's cool. We will see him tonight and see how he's progressing.

I went on an exchange with Sister Jensen this week. We always have a great time together. I would love to serve with her before the end but I don't know if that will happen. Next week I will be telling you my new transfer call. I don't think anything will be changing for me though.

I'm having a really fun time in my trio. We all get along really well even though we are all different. They are really growing and becoming great teachers. 

Sister C leaves this week which is so sad!! It's gonna be really hard to not have her in Suriname. She's my best friend here and it will be lonely without her. 

The work is moving on! I'm loving my life here. I miss you all and can't wait to see you all soon.

Love,

Elizabeth
