New Companions and Crazy Weeks

Hello family!
This week was going somewhat normally until President called us this past Friday, asking if we could do him a favor and have another companion for a couple days. A hermana from our district was going home because she had a herniated disk in her back, and her companion needed some sisters to be with until she could get a mini missionary. He also thought we would be the best pick because we actually both had church in the same building.
So we have been with Hermana Lewis since Friday, until she gets a mini missionary, which should be this Wednesday or so. She was actually in the CCM with me, but she was with the gringos and was there for six weeks. She is also from Utah, so when we tell people where we three missionaries are from, we all say the same place: Utah, USA. Which doesn't help he stereotype here where everybody says all missionaries are from the United States. At least half are Latinos... But she's awesome and it has been a party with her around.
So this past Sunday was interesting too, because we had to go to two sacrament meetings. We had some meeting before church, but then we went to her sacrament meeting, and then our sacrament meeting. Nevertheless, both were great. And in my ward's sacrament meeting, Hermana Hirchak and I sang. And because Hermana Lewis can play any hymn imaginable, she played for us, which was a blessing in disguise.
And because we can't leave her area alone, we have been working to do splits so we can work both in our area and her area. She might be with us until Wednesday or until the next cambio, depending on the mini missionary.
It was an interesting week, but also a really fun one! Hope all of you are doing well!

Hermana Reed
