Seven Months! 10/22/12


So unfortunately I did not pass the driving test.  But on the good side, I only made 2 really dumb mistakes, which I can easily correct next time.  But I did really well on all of the other aspects of the test.  I'l have to wait until November to sign up for another one when I have more money on my card.

I love being companions with Sis. Louis!  She loves everyone and is a lot more relaxed than Sis.Benson and we continue to work hard, but we still have fun at the same time.  I like being a missionary a lot more. (:  The ward also loves her and our relationship with the members has already improved immensly.  Sis.Louis is a hoot and a half so we have good laughs and I already feel like I have a better relationship with her than I ever had with Sis.Benson.

We are still struggling to fnd people to teach.  None of our investigators are consistant, but we just have to keep trying.  We did get a new investigator this week. Her name is Sally Glendinning and she's 65 and lives really far away, but she wants to be taught and I pray that the Lord will provide a way for her to come to church.  This coming week is Stake conference and that is way down in Merthyr so I don't think we'll have many investigators be able to come, but we'll try.

It is crazy that 7 months have already passed.  We had President interviews last week and Pres.Rasmussen pretty much told me that I'll be staying here another transfer.  And I am really happy about that, especially that I'll get to stay with Sis.Louis longer than just 3 weeks.  It would be lame if I got moved after just getting a new companion and I actually hope I can stay till Christmas because I love the members here so much and they really care about me as well.  But at the end of next transfer I will have been in this area nearly 9 months. Ha ha!  Crazy!  Time is flying by and I pray that I will find more people to teach and that I can help more people come unto Christ.  I am so very very grateful for the blessing I have to serve in this area in this mission and to learn and grow.   Every day I feel the Spirit in my life and I know it is changing me for the better.  I will come home a much better servant of the Lord.  These tests and trials are what shape us into instruments that the Lord can use to further His work.  He just shapes us all differently for different things.

And thank you everyone for writing me this week.  It was so good to hear from you all and I wish I had time to email you all back, but I'll try to write some letters over the next few weeks.

Ta ra!

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...

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...
