Big Changes

Hello,
It was transfer week and the island had some big changes. I'm finally finished training which means no more 2 hour companionship studies! We were split into two zones and almost every companionship was changed around. I'm back out in the jungle in a newish area called Mesisou. We will be going back and forth between the Uh branch and my old home of Sapwalap. It was a bitter-sweet change leaving Kolonia Branch, but I happy to be back home for my last few months.  

My new companion is Sister Orrock and it's really fun to be with her. She is from Alpine, Utah, and is 19-years-old.  Everyone was really surprised that they put the two white sisters out in the jungle together. All the kids keep asking us if we are twins. 

One of the investigators from Kolonia, Yolanda, told us an interesting story this week. She said her brother-in-law wasn't breathing right so they were trying to get him to the hospital in the middle of the night. One of her friends said she was going to check the Dolonier Apartments to see if she could find the Elders (the Elders moved out of there 8 months ago). Anyway, her friend returned with some men in white shirts and ties and missionary name badges. The two men gave the man a blessing and took him to the hospital. No one thought to ask their names until the man was safely in the hospital room. When they went to find the two Elders,they had already disappeared. Later Yolanda asked her friend where she had found the Elders and she said they were just standing by the road at the Dolonier Apartments all dressed in missionary attire at 2:00 in the morning. None of our Elders know anything about it. 
Well, love you all.
Sister Beutler
