New Comp, Same Area

Well everyone, I have survived transfers. I mostly just waited for Sister Martinsen to get here. Amazing, I know. 



She's so great though. We get along nicely. We got to know each other a bit on thursday and we're both excited. It's kind of fun how there's a different dynamic now. Different for each companion huh? So far yes. I kind of like it. 



And Grandma, she likes the horses. Enough to work with them every week so no worries there. We had fun cleaning out stalls and grooming the horses again this week. It's hot and sweaty work but it feels productive. 



We met a new friend! We got a referral just before transfers and we got to meet him on Friday. He visited his brother who lives in Georgia, who introduced him to the missionaries there, and he loved it. He seems cool so far, so we'll see how this goes. 



So, we've also done some more Chalking! A bunch of them actually. Trying to branch out the content of such things, so we did a diagram and a quote instead of just a scripture. We did three in the past few days. They've been fun. Running out of a bunch of colors unfortunately. 



Happy birthday to me!

I call my dog Smee

I'm a missionary

Please come to church with me!



Hope you liked that. I'm 21 now. A little old compared to some missionaries but I'm not the oldest so I have that going for me. District council was on my birthday, and everyone sang to me while I stood there awkwardly. Then us Sisters in the district got doughnuts. I made birthday Fajitas, which was a hit for Sister Martinsen. She liked them. I'd say it was a good birthday. 



Well, that's been this week! Keep in touch everyone!

More At The Temple Open House!!

Image
Hello everyone! I’m back again with another email. I’m sending this on time today! Woohoo!! This one’s going to be short but I think it is something I should share nevertheless.  Open House!  I’ve really enjoyed my time at the Red Cliffs Temple so far. I get to help these people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to walk around the temple at all. It makes me feel like I have an important job even though most of the time I just write numbers on a clipboard. I got to take a few people in myself and I love how they become silent in reverent wonder at the beauty of it all. It really tells me that the spirit is definitely there and I can feel it too!  Pushing Grandpa I helped Grandpa Reynolds in a wheelchair. I’m not a jerk I swear. XD That was a fun experience that I was able to look at it with my family. I’ve been through the tour a bunch of times but It’s different when you’re with your family. Even my little brothers were using inside voices! I didn’t know they knew what that ...

I Love Conference

Image
Hi! As I’m sure you know, General Conference was this weekend. I’ve been so excited about it and it certainly didn't disappoint. Everyone did an excellent job and the spirit was present. I loved them all. I really need to look back and study them again. I forgot who did what ones but there was a couple I really liked in the Saturday sessions about being peacemakers. How despite the world around us we can still show the love of god. Actually, I think one of them was from Elder Oaks. He did fantastic.  I also loved that Brad Wilcox spoke this afternoon. He is one of my favorite speakers. He also did one of the most listened to BYU devotionals ‘his grace is sufficient’. It’s so good and so was the talk he did today. I love how he said you can’t be a lifeguard if you look like all the other swimmers. Inspiring.  I’d like to share a little tender mercy that was a couple of weeks ago. I was going to the temple with my district in the St George temple. We were doing an endowment ...

Hi Again Everyone!

Image
I am back at it again this week! With yet another email. I know it’s late, but I almost forgot and I was saved by Mom threatening to beat me with a wet noodle. So I didn’t forget and as I’m writing this I’m keeping an eye on all the pasta. And Mom. She’s looking at me very ominously across the table.  Zone Conference!  As I mentioned last week, I had Zone Conference! On Monday we met at basically in the same time and same place as District Council, but it was longer and with more people. I can now say I have officially met my new Mission president! President Staples and his wife are sweet. I got a picture with them.  Temple Trips! And no, not just to the Red Cliffs one. Me and my Companion Sister Amy did some Initiatories in the newly Re-dedicated St. George temple. They remodeled it like they had it originally in the pioneer days, and they used rich colors and beautiful curtains. I love it! After we did the ordinances a temple worker asked us if we’d like to see the sea...
