I have a puppy!! (Don't worry, he lives outside.)

Hey family!
So I got transfered to Chorrera and I'm opening an area called LosAltos...eek!! Well, white-washing it because there were elders herebefore but they sent us here instead. I haven't slept in like three days from all the traveling. The house was trashed (elders are gross) so we spent from 10-12:30 last night cleaning as well as all morning. We're almost done.....haha. The house is way nice (we have a dog!!) and the members have been so nice and considerate showing us around and letting us know about the different meals and investigators, etc. I feel sort of over-whelmed but also excited because this is the zone I wanted to go to....woot.
My compy is Hermana Serrano from El Salvador (my Spanish will improve again, yay!) She has two transfers and is way cute and I'm super excited to be with her. They sent her with her trainer to open an area when she first got here and they had 13 baptisms last month so she already has experience doing this and doing it well....I'm stoked. Oh and my district leader is one of my favorite mission friends, Elder Gomez from Boston. So pretty much life is awesome.

Oh, they white-washed our area in Bolivar and put in elders (one of the ones that used to be here so we just changed places) We definitely weren't expecting it and Hermana Graham was really really sad because she thought she was staying another transfer and we were sad to leave this super cute family we've been teaching for about a month. But so it goes. I think they will do well there...
Ok sorry for all the boring transfer updates but that's all I've been doing since Monday (packing, saying bye to people, traveling, taking 50 buses here and there, unpacking, cleaning, blah blah blah. Hermm, what else to tell you all. Oh, wanna know how I know God loves me? Ok lots of things but last night I was reminded again. Lots of my companions have laughed at me because I pray for silly insignificant things sometimes but I have always been like that and I like it because I always know He answers even though it's not a big deal.
So last night it was 12:30 a.m. and we'd been scrubbing and cleaning and I finally wanted to finish rinsing out the shower and then shower and go to bed, but the llave (in english, knob? I dunno, something like that) to turn on the water was broken and we couldn't figure out how to get the shower on. We tried for like 15 minutes, and then I went outside to look for buckets to use to take a bucket shower but there weren't any, and then I just felt all frustrated. I cleaned some other stuff and then came back and tried again and then I remembered duhhh, say a prayer. So I told Heavenly Father that I was really tired and icky and wanted to go to bed but I wanted to take a shower and could He please help me to fix it. And then 2 seconds later I had an idea, tried it, and it worked. :) God loves me. I sort of feel like a doofus for writing that all out but it gave me warm fuzzies. I told my compita that it was working and she asked how and I told her I said a prayer and she smiled and laughed a little. I like her.
Annnnnyways. Hopefully by Monday I'll have something interesting to tell you all, but for now that's it. Love you all, have a good weekend!
Love,
Hermana Dance
