I am in
LOVE with Kalgoorlie! It has been such an amazing few days here.
I ended my
time on a good note in Wanneroo with Sister S and Sister T. They surprised me
for my birthday a day early and sang to me. They wrote down some memories and
things they loved about me as well which was my favorite part. They are
awesome. I loved serving with both of them. I learned a lot from them.
I had a
great train ride for my birthday... 7 hours. I was almost late. I got there and
the train left so that was stressful, but then the trip up actually went really
fast. We had a lot of fun. It was Sister Kand I and Elder B and Elder L. We're
the only four missionaries out here. We all get along really well too so it's
good. It's going to be a great transfer.
The ward
out here is awesome. We've already had more dinner appointments than I had
in the past two weeks in Wanneroo. We've gotten straight to work. We didn't
even unpack at first. We went to visit all the members of the ward council and
we made that our priority for the first few days. It was good. We've already
established some good relationships. The ward is so welcoming and inviting,
even though they’ve had some struggles with missionaries in the past, we are
reestablishing that trust.
I love
being with Sister K so much! We get a long so well. She and I never run out of
things to talk about. I'm learning so much from her. She's a convert of three
years from Kiribati. This is her last transfer and she is keen to just work her
tail off. We have been going so hard and also working effectively. It's nice
that we both know how to do missionary work and that we get along. Nothing gets
in the way. She is so kind to me as well. She never judges. She just builds and
helps me want to be better. I love her so much. We are so happy to be with each
other. Apparently President told her that we "deserve each other." I
couldn't agree more.
We have
actually had great success in really only having a few full days of
proselyting. She is really good at helping me contact people even when it's
awkward. Like we're talking we see someone walking and we pull over and talk to
them. It's been so good. It's been the way that we found a beautiful family
that we're now teaching. It feels so good. We were also able to get fellowship
to the lesson before we'd even met the fellowship member ourselves.
I loved
church as well, a very welcoming ward. I love it. There are so many adorable
children that are so sweet.
There is
only one problem with Sister K.... she always tells people that I'm an amazing
singer and makes me sing... She's such a punk. I love singing, but not when she
introduces it like that. We've had some really good laughs. We are always
laughing and smiling. We're so comfortable with each other.
I couldn't
be happier. I love Kalgoorlie. I love the people. I love the small town feel
and we're talking small town. It looks like it came straight out of a John
Wayne movie. I'm planning to send heaps of photos. I love it here so much. I
love being a missionary, especially here. It's the perfect place to end my
mission. I love it!
I love
you!
