Honestly not much going on this week. I got a new companion. Her name
is Sister Davis from Prescott Arizona. She comes from a family of 5 I
believe, she is the 4th youngest. She went to Utah state for a year
before her mission and then a semester somewhere in San Diego,
California. She has been out for 5 months, so just a transfer after
me. She is very quiet... Lol although she told
me she loves to talk... She is a journalist which is pretty cool,
maybe I'll start to be better about writing in my journal. Haha
But anyway, last Monday after pday, Sister Richards and I got a call
from a member in our Ward telling us about a less active we were
teaching got in a motorcycle accident. So we went to the hospital with
some members to give him a blessing. It was pretty cool to go to a
hospital honestly. Haha I can't remember the last time I've been in
one! It was definitely a different environment than I'm use to!
Anyway, we went into the less actives room and poor guy completely
broke his leg. He had a bunch of metal stuff sticking out to help it I
guess. He told us what happened and I thought it was kinda cool, he
said he went out to drive his bike on Sunday and he passed the church
and thought to himself that he should go to church, BUT he decided to
keep driving. Well he ended up turning a corner too sharp and one
thing led to another and he broke his leg. Poor guy! Maybe this will
help him want to come back to church? We will see. Then we went to
visit a new move in and we were talking and he told me he use to live
in San Antonio and it turns out he knows Brother Ray Stadler and his
brother!!!! Small world!!!! I just thought that was so funny!
Tuesday we were super busy saying goodbye to people for Sister
Richards last day, that was hard. Then that night as she was packing
we put on face masks (like facials) and it was hilarious because the
one she put on made it look like she was sweating like a sinner in
church and also like her face was literally melting off of her face!!!
Oh man I was dying. I so wish I got a picture of it!!! So then what
made it even funnier was we were carrying her suitcases, that weighed
like a thousand pounds, up the stairs and into the car and well she
accidentally crushed my hand and now I have a big blue bruise on my
hand haha. I guess it's just something to remember her by.
Transfers were Wednesday and it was crazy when we pulled up because it
was basically all elders. Not very many sisters were getting
transferred. But with my luck I did. :/ it was hard. I was not ready
to be separated from sister Richards. She definitely became like a
sister to me....
So that's when I got sister Davis. And I actually am driver. It was a
little weird to be driving at first but it's like riding a bike! I
have missed it so much. And I actually got a new car. It's crazy! It's
a red 2016 Toyota Corolla! And it only had 16 miles on it when I
started driving it! It's great! Lol I definitely enjoy not having to
be the one in the rain backing up! Haha
Saturday I was asked to give the baptism talk at a little girls
baptism in our ward. So I was a little nervous for that. I ended up
getting a backpack and filling it with cans which represented
different sins and then I explained how after baptism we are free from
all the sins. It ended up being really cute. So that was fun. And then
that family sat with us in church and the 8 yr old that got baptized
has little twin siblings, a boy and girl and they are adorable!!!!!
They are like 5 years old and a handful so we help out the mom by
entertaining them during sacrament. Haha reminds me a lot of being
back home and helping out the different kids. The only sucky thing is
we can't hold them so that stinks. But it's still fun. I miss little
kids!
Oh man I almost forgot! So do you guys know who Johnny Miller, the pro
golfer is? Well president Taylor somehow knows him and he is coming on
May 6th to give us a fireside! So I'm pretty excited for that, ahaha
even though I don't even know who he is really. It should be good
though!
AND YES OMG ONLY 13 MORE DAYS TILL WE GET TO SKYPE!!!!! I am just so
pumped!!! It cannot come fast enough!!!! Oh it's going to be so
awesome!!!! I was thinking about 2:30 my time? We have church at 11 so
that might be the best time? Just let me know what your schedule looks
like!
Well I miss you guys so much and love y'all to the moon and back!!!!
Don't forget to remember me;)
