Having Too Much Fun

It has been really really cold! We have been doing our best with lots of layers and hot cocoa! This week I found some kneehigh socks that Jen had sent me and added them to the layers. That and my new coat have made a big difference. Sister Rogerson and I are probably having too much fun, but what else can you do when it's so cold, but laugh when you slip in the snow, when your head accidentally hits a branch and the snow falls off it and down your back, or when your biking and you slip on the ice or run into a snowbank. haha. But we knew that was coming when they put two Southern California girls together.  Last night it started snowing while we were on our bikes and you should've seen us being so excited that it was snowing! Because that means it was warmer!! hahah. Never thought I'd say that in my life. (I have pictures but I forgot my cord, so I promise to send them next week. :)))

 

I love you soo soo much!! Thank you so much for all your love and support! Give everyone a big hug for me and let them know I'm thinking of them.

love love love!

Two Cali Girls

My trainee is Sister Rogerson from San Diego California! Yes it's so comical to have two Cali girls together in this teen's weather! She is enjoying it and that makes me smile. She is a great girl and is willing to help and already loves our investigators and just wants to help them as best as she can which is definitely helping me a lot! Today I tried to cut her some slack and report some numbers for her, but she wanted to see how it was done so she did it afterall. Very helpful! :)

 

Its been a little scary but at the same time its just more of the same stuff and Heavenly Father has helped me through it, and as much as I was learning to love Sister O I'm glad our time together came to an end when it did.

 

I love you love you love you! Christmas Package should finally be in the mail today. I hope you all enjoy! heheh

Give everyone a big hug for me!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!

 

So Christmas was beautiful! I loved being able to talk to you and be uplifted by all of your love!!! The day after Christmas we had a great missionary meeting and got uplifted by what we need to do and how we need to do it, then that night I came home and was sick with the stomach flu all night. :(  That morning I called Sister Moffat and asked to stay in, she said everyone had this flu and to rest it off. I slept the ENTIRE day.   It was an amazing blessing because I'm already up to full speed again. And its amazing how comforted I was by Heavenly Father through that time, it really built my faith in how he never leaves us. I was calm the whole time and just endured through it and slept and rested and knew I was safe and watched over. It was a great blessing and one that I know I needed because...

 

*drumroll*

 

Transfer calls came this week.

 

I will be staying here in Murray and tomorrow I go to the mission office to pick up a brand new Sister from the MTC to be her trainer for the next 6 to 12 weeks.  I want to progress and if this is how Heavenly Father needs me to progress then I'll do it because it is a very big confidence booster that he trusts me  to help another missionary grow and learn the ways of his work.

I'll know her name and all that info tomorrow so it will come in next weeks email. :) But yes yes yes thank you thank you thank you in advance for your prayers and thoughts for me this week. And I am happy to be able to look back on being sick this past week and remember God is with me, especially through the hard times!

 

 

Thank you always for your love and support. :)
