This week has honestly gone by so fast. Everyday has been packed with so many things! It's been real fun.
Well as you know, Hermana Winterton got transferred to Rochester. Transfers are on Thursdays, so we had a few days to go around and say goodbye to people. I was pretty sad that she was getting transferred, but I met Hermana Meredith on Thursday and she is really sweet! She is from Bountiful Utah, and she goes home in August! She is an amazingggg violinist, and she is going to major in music so it's been pretty fun to talk music with her! We are going to do some songs together sometime. Change is hard, but I am excited to work with her and be her compañera😊
Last night we had President's Fireside. Hermana Winterton came up from Rochester and we got to do our musical number with Hermana Roman! We played "Paz en Cristo" (Peace in Christ). I don't have a video from the actual performance, but I do have one from us practicing that I will send. It was really fun and I'm super grateful we were still able to do it. Recent converts/converts in general are asked in advance to give a talk about their conversion stories. It was so cool. Missionaries are allowed to come if they are participating in the fireside or if they have an investigator to bring. The last half of this week has been crazy, as usual! I got my Tiwi card, so I have finally been able to drive! It's kinda nice haha. Except our Tiwi doesn't even work in our car, so that's even nicer. It's a tradition in the mission that if you have to go to transfers because you or your companion are getting transferred, after you switch and everything, you go with a bunch of missionaries to Chic Fil A. It's so fun cause there's so many missionaries there and you get to hang out with your new companion. Thursday night we taught English class, and we practiced buying things in the store. I had brought some clothes and shoes and stuff and pretended to work in the store and they had to buy them from me and what-not. It was super fun and cute!
Friday morning we went to Currans for their $2.50 breakfast. You know you are out of MSF money when they decline your card because there's no more money on it😁😁😁😁 (*hint hint*). Lol but then we had district meeting and then went to the Veteran's Home for a BBQ and to play games with them! One of the elders put a bunch of fun sheet music on a Google drive folder and shared it with me, and they had asked me to play for them, so I had a lot of fun playing Disney Songs, Maple Leaf Rag, Kiss the Rain, and I even played My Heart Will Go On hahaha. The guys there are all pretty old, and when I was playing a guy in the front row started unbuttoning his shirt (he had an undershirt on) and undoing his pants (he had boxers thank goodness). It was hilariousssss. The ladies were helping him out and I just continued playing haha. I felt bad for him though because he just didn't know what he was doing! One of the funniest moments on my mission haha.
Saturday morning we had a zone service activity in Bloomington. We split up into teams and we had to go to a few houses and do yard cleanup for some old ladies. We raked, pulled weeds, and cleaned up their gardens. After that we hurried back up to Minneapolis for a baptism that I had to play at! Afterwards we went over to a member's house for a lunch/dinner BBQ and they had cornhole. I was very much grateful for all the time I had spent playing cornhole cause I kinda whooped the elders butt in it hahahaha. It was fun to play it again. I miss playing it with you guys!
Yeimy had her baptismal interview yesterday! Whoop whoop! She's so ready. This Sunday she is getting baptized, and then the Richfield Hermanas have an investigator getting baptized at the same time. 2 convert baptisms in our ward! We are very excited.

I love this Gospel and being a missionary soooo much! This week was kind of hard with changes, but I know that I will learn and grow a lot. Thank you for your support and love and everything! It means so much to me.
I love you guys,
Love Hermana Nissinen
(Another name I have been called by from a few kids is "Hermana Cinnamon." Lol I can't find a Spanish word that sounds like my name so I just go with whatever they want to call me.)
