Staying in Wales 8/8/12


So Monday night we were waiting anxiously to find out the transfer dodge.  The whole district thought I would be leaving Wales.  But guess what?  I'm staying! And so is Sis.Benson!  We have another 6 weeks together in Newcastle Emlyn.  It'll be good because we get along better each week and I am used to how she teaches so it is nice because we can rely on each other.  I am only bummed that I don't get to learn from a new companion. After going on exchanges with other sisters, I have realized that there are many ways to do missionary work and it would be fun to change things up and learn new things.  But the Lord wants us together here longer.  In the end I will have been here 5.5 months with Sister Benson.  I haven't heard of anyone going 5 transfers togther so this will most likely be our last.  There are only 19 sisters in the mission and I know all of them.  There haven't been any new sisters since I came out so it's fun to know everyone and know where they are all serving.  We all try and guess where everyone will go and then we all call each other on transfer dodge night to find out the news.  It was fun and exciting.

But our investigators keep flogging!  In the past 2 weeks it has felt like every appointment has flogged us!  Last night we were going to teach a man named Shaish that we met a month ago.  He is the owner of an Indian food restraunt and he asked if we would come share a meal with him and we could discuss the BoM more, but he totally forgot.  But the manager, Russel, still let us come in and eat a free meal.  It was amazing!  Indian food is really different, but really good at the same time.  It was a super fancy place and we were the only ones there, but Russel wouldn't let us pay.  It was way nice of him.  But Shaish sent his apologies and said he'll call us later to reschedule.  We'll see (:

We had a good lesson with Andrew Lemmon last week as well when I was on exchange with Sis. Laborero.  Andrew wants to know everything before he'll decide to be baptized, but I know that as he comes to church and feels the spirit that it'll all feel right to him.  So I think with him it'll just take some time and more lessons.

Sorry this is so short, but I don't have a lot of time today to write.  I'm glad you guys are getting a lot of rain because we're getting loads as well.  I don't even bother to fix my hair these days. It just gets soaked anyways.  And that is so awesome that Sammi is going to Chile!  I didn't realize that she actually put her papers in.  And I had no idea that Brant and Levi had babies!  Our family is getting huge!  Ha ha!

I love you all so very much and I'll email again on Monday.

Comm. 150 Journal

Gee whiz, it has been several years since I personally posted anything on this blog.  I don't even know if anyone evens looks at it, but hey, that's okay. I am starting my 8th semester of university and I am taking a class where I have to keep a daily journal.  I just have to write about something that happened to me that day. I've started it on a Word document, but I had the thought that I could keep on here and share unique experiences that happen in my crazy life. So here are the ones I have done for this week so far: Comm 150 journal: Day 1: Monday, 15 Sept. 2014 When I was in my first area on my mission, Newcastle Emlyn in Wales, I had this funny zone leader named Elder Hopkinson. He was from Leeds and had a great accent. Every time he called he would always ask what the craziest thing was that had happened to us that day.  I remember feeling dumb if I didn’t have a wild story to tell him, but from then on I tried to make every day of my mission be a...

When it Rains it Pours

Day 4: Thursday, 18 September 2014 Today was my first day going to my Digital Imaging class, taught by Sis. Caryn Esplin.  I am so excited for this class. The homework is just going to be fun stuff!  I took a class last winter from Sister Esplin and she is amazing! She is my career role model. I want to be just like her some day!  When I took her class in the winter, I received several awards from her because she liked my work so well.  Today, I again impressed her as I was able to recite back every person’s name back after we all introduced ourselves. There were only about 27 kids in the class so it was easy. I just have a good memory. So I won the Bright Idea award (a light bulb jar filled with M&Ms).  Anyways, about an hour after class, Sister Esplin called me and asked me if I would like to be her TA for one of her classes! She thought I did really well in the winter and thought I would make an excellent TA.  This is the 9 th job of...

I headed to school this morning at 7:45am. I wasn't sure what the temperature was, but I realized it was in the negatives when I could feel my boogers freezing in my nose. I know it sounds gross, but you literally can feel your nose hairs become stiff as the moisture in your nose begins to freeze. It's quite the sensation. So I have my hood up to keep my ears and face warmer and there is a slight breeze, which makes it even colder! I had only been walking about 3 minutes when I noticed that the ends of my hair to my left was looking really white. As I looked closer, I realized that frost was collecting on my hair! I'm not quite sure why this happened. I had straightened my hair today, so it more dry than wet. The only thing I can think of, is that the moisture from my breath must have been collecting on the ends of my hair closest to my face. By the time I got to class I probably looked like a rendition of the White Witch with my frosted white hair. Oh the joys of Re...
