Today is a Good Day! 8/12/13

Well, this week flew by, but it feels like it was ages ago that I was with Sis.Turnbow.  It was really really weird to see her go and to have my departing interview. President pretty much thanked me for my service and gave me marriage advice ;) Ha ha!  But the weirdest part was being at the final banquet and testimony meeting and telling everyone goodbye. A couple of the elders who were leaving came me hugs and I ended up not being able to sleep all night because I couldn't stop thinking about how weird it all was. I don't even remember the last time I hugged a boy.  Man, I'm going to be so weird when I come home.   But it was even weirder on Wednesday because I felt like I should have been on a plane, but yet there I was at transfers again.  My new companion is Sis.Krylborn from Sweden. She came out in January and we're still in Harborne. She is an amazing missionary and I am so grateful to have her so that by Thursday I was back in missionary mode and I ...

Wow, the Heap reunion sounds like it was SO much fun! And I am excited that we'll have one next year! Those were always so much fun and camping in the forest sounds like so much fun!  The only camping we do these days is in other sister's flats on their couches or floors. It doesn't have the same thrill, but it's all for a good cause (:  And tell Aunt Susan it's ok that she locked herself out of the van. She's not the only one with car troubles. Last monday after emailing, we went to ASDA to shop and then to fill up the car with petrol. I was almost finished pumping the fuel when I looked up to notice that I had just filled our tank full of unleaded rather than deisel.  I wanted to cry I was so embarrassed. There was a huge line behind us and we got absolutely drenched by the rain while we had to explain to an employee what happened. We put the car in neutral and pushed it out of the way so that others could use the pump. Then the zone leaders came whil...

Hi ya! It is so interesting how things change. I still feel like everything at home should be the same as when I left. Ha ha! Especially because I love St.Johns so much, I'm trying to prepare myself mentally for the changes. But oh well, life is meant to go on. This week was quite good. We haven't seen Henry since last week. We're not too sure if he's worth our efforts.  Because we are gone so much, we really have to prioritize our time. We just don't have time to spend on every person we meet.  I do enjoy having this calling though because I get to go and learn so much from the other sisters and I can help them as well.  After I leave, all but 5 sisters will have come out in the year 2013. They are all so new and many of them are going through struggles that I went through as well.  It is kind of neat to be able to talk to them and give them advice and help them to be better missionaries.  I don't think I personally am the best missionary, but I hav...
