"Wow,
I'll tell you what, wow." This week has been crazy. My last few days in
Como with Sister T were wonderful. I
love her so much. She and I had an amazing two transfers together in Como. I
love the people there and I miss them already, but I knew it was time to go. I
could just feel it.
I was
able to have a final goodbye with Haylee and her family and she gave me a cute
little gift. I love her so much. I want to do everything in my power to keep
her active. I love her too much to let her go inactive.
Transfer
day ended up being craziness. Sister E didn't get up to Perth until three in
the afternoon so I went with another sister to deliver a lot of luggage to
people's flats. Then I finally got to be with Sister E... It is amazing. I love being her companion.
She and I have the perfect personalities to complement each other. We get along
so well. She is amazing and we both are so excited to work our tails off this
transfer. We both have a big vision for what we want to happen this transfer.
It's going to be epic.
We
were doubled in (both new to the area) so we wanted to start it off right by
building relationships with the members. So we made a batch of Anne Hewlett’s
cookies and tried to visit as many members as we could. We had short
visits but were able to get to know a lot of members and they were all amazing
and so willing to help us in any way
they could. It was great! We also got lost a lot. Neither of us know the area
so it can be quite comical trying to find where everything is. We "chucked
a lot of Uies", as the Aussies would say, but we always had a good laugh.
Also
our Zone name/theme for the transfer is the “North Coast Soldiers” so S. E and
I found a battle scripture and took each of the sisters some "war
paint" for our next zone p-day, which will be laser tagging. We're trying
to build the excitement for the zone and sister unity. It's so important. I
love the sisters in this zone. They are some of my favorites so it should be an
amazing transfer!
We
were even able to find two new investigators and teach a lesson to an
investigator with a member there! It was great. I love it here already. The
people are wonderful! The ward is huge compared to the Como ward, which makes
for a different dynamic but I love it so far.
I
think my favorite thing about this week was just being able to do missionary
work with Sister E. I love her. There is so much I can learn from her. A lot of
my weaknesses are her strengths and vice versa. It's such a good companionship;
although, I have loved all of my companions. I have been very blessed.
One
good experience was when she and I wanted to go tracting so we prayed for
a street and we felt some very slight
promptings. Through that we were led to one of our new investigators who is
amazing! He has such a strong belief in God and has been prepared! It was
another witness to me that while the promptings of the Spirit may not be huge
or obvious, when we just follow the subtle promptings we can be led to great things.
I am
so happy! This is going to be a great transfer. I love you all. You're always
in my prayers:)
