Dutch-Oven and Sticking Together

Hey everyone! Before I tell you about my week, I'd like to clarify something. If you write a comment on my facebook wall or send me a message, my friend that monitors my account relays those messages to me, but I have no way to respond to you. I also don't have access to your mailing addresses, so I can't send you any letters. However, you can write to me at my mission address. I don't want you to think that I am ignoring you. I love each and every one of you, and I would love to hear from you and be able to respond! If you decide to do that, please address it as follows:

Sister Amy Prenatt

Now onto all the exciting stuff that has happened! Let me start by updating you on transfer news. Every six weeks, we get a call from our Zone Leaders, and they tell us if either one of us is being transferred to another area, if one of us is staying, if one of us is getting transferred, if both of us are staying, where we are going if we are being transferred, etc. Our Zone Leaders called us last Tuesday around 3pm, and they told us that we are BOTH STAYING!!!! We were walking down the street to an appointment, but I was so excited that I shouted out "YES!" in the middle of the sidewalk. I really love the area I am serving in, and I really love the people here.

This past Saturday, one of our wards was having a Dutch-oven cook-off. I didn't know what a Dutch-oven was before, but I found out. It is a cast iron pot that you put food in, then you put in on hot coals so it cooks the food. It was amazing! I thought that maybe there would be stew or something, but my favorite dish was corn tortillas, chicken, cheese, and green salsa cooked together. I was already impressed with the dishes cooked in the Dutch-ovens, but then I became even more impressed when the ward mission leader picked up one of his Dutch-ovens and removed the lid, revealing a chocolate lava cake! It was delicious. I learned something new that day about cooking without electricity.

I hope each of you are doing well and are healthy.
