Plays and Olympics

Hello Y'all!

It has been a good week here in Greencastle, Indiana! I got a new companionon Wednesday! Her name is Sister Muñoz. She has been out for 3 transfers now and is awesome! We have been having lots of fun the past couple of days. She is 24, from St. George, and is licensed to do hair! I don't do very much with my hair anyways, but if I want to, I have someone who will do it free! Haha the Elders like it all more since they need their hair cut more than I do but it is still fun! She is funny and I am sure we will have a good transfer!

This week was really slow with our missionary work....like super slow. It was hard to teach lessons due to transfers and various meetings/service opportunities. So I will talk about some of the cool things we got to do this week! So the Branch Mission leader here decided that he wanted to go out in the community more and try out for a play with the community theater! So all of last transfer he was going to rehearsals and what not for that. He got permission for the missionaries here to be able to go and watch on the free family night! It was really funny! It was called "The Man Who Came to Dinner." It was really, really funny! Since it wasn't an actual performance and was technically a rehearsal, we were able to take pictures. It was an exciting night and we were able to enjoy a night of laughs and giggles, which is always nice to get sometimes!

We had transfers on Wednesday and then had a zone meeting on Friday, which took up a lot of our day. It was a good meeting though and I really like the zone. There are lots of good missionaries here! We talked more about how we can better use the Game Plan in becoming more effective and powerful missionaries! It was a good one. Then on Saturday we had a really cool service experience in Indy! They were having the finals for some of the Special Olympics games this weekend. It was the softball and corn hole finals and we got to go up and  help out! It was so fun! There were about 80 missionaries from Indy and the surrounding areas who were able to come help out. I really enjoyed it and chuckled that in Indiana corn hole is considered an Olympic event! For those of you who don't know what corn hole is....well it is basically tossing a bean bag into a hole on a board across from you. Sounds simple right? Well, there are actually 4 pages of rules to it and it is pretty intense! We were assigned to help with scoring the corn hole games...but Sister Muñoz and I didn't think we could remember all the rules so we announced things on the microphone. Obviously what they told us to announce. It was pretty fun to have the microphone! It was also fun to watch the games going on around us! When a lot of the games started to die down and there were empty...courts maybe is the right word...I went out and played a game with an Elder. I made an epic toss right into the hole! It would have been a perfect swoosh in a basketball game! It was legend....wait for it...dary! Legendary! Super fun day and it was so great to be able to see all the excitement on the athletes faces when they got their medals! It was an awesome day!

Sorry there was not too much to say this week! I wish I had more to tell you about lessons and investigators this week, but we just didn't really get a chance to see them. :( Hopefully next week can be more exciting! I love you all and hope your week is just magical!

Love,

Sister Abbie London
