"What a week! Yesterday I did get to see the Christmas devotional-
SO GOOD! Ms. B is back in the choir! Well, now its "Sister M"...They did a couple of close ups on
her last night. It was fun to see her again! I loved
Sister Wixom's talk about children and Christmas. Elder Nelson's talk was
really neat! All the video clips in it were really cool. I taught one
of the older Primary girls in the "I'm trying to be like Jesus" video at
APA. The little boy that winked killed me. Elder Nelson reminded me of
Mr. Roger's Neighborhood in his cardigan and tie haha (: What a great
message each speaker had to share! Because of the weather, we were late,
and completely missed President Monson's talk, so I am going to watch
it over again. I took a lot of good notes."
"Ok, so you're probably wondering about the weather. Holy bipolar! Living on the south/north weather boarder is a trip. Tuesday and Wednesday were almost 70 degrees. Totally no tights weather. It was hot- we had to turn our AC on in our house. Saturday
night the branch auxileries called and canceled church because they
were expecting ice and snowstorms in Bedford county. Because of the
humitity, ice is what gets everyone out here. When it decides to rain
and freeze, the black ice is so hard to see out here, and it gets
everywhere when it does do this. Our back porch steps were frozen over. I
was almost scared to drive. We stayed in most of the day yesterday and
worked on area books. It finally thawed enough to work a little, so Sister V and one of the sisters next door went to an apartment
complex I've been dying to work around, cause we have so many formers and
potentials that live there. They also went to see some less active
members. I stayed with the other sister and helped her clean up her area
book and potential investigators lists. The
four of us do a ton together, and we've all developed a great
friendship".
"We had a zone meeting on Friday, and then exchanges Friday and Saturday
with the Sister Trainer Leaders. One of them I went to school with
haha. I think we had
an English class together, too. We totally hit it off! I absolutely love Sister W! Sister V trained Sister W, so Sister W took Sister V to Vinton, VA and Sister W's companion Sister S came here. I love Sister S, too! Geez, I make so many good
friends out here! I have a list of sisters I need to serve with before I
go home Bahah. PS- I absolutely LOVE Bedford. I want to stay here the
rest of my mission- so much work! I LOVE the branch! I love the people! This place is Zion (:"
"At the zone meeting, we had a white elephant gift exchange. I got the most amazing thing
ever- probably the best white elephant gift I have ever gotten...(see
picture). We're going to cut the face out so that we can stick our own
in. It's oil on VELVET. EW. The elder that gave it to me got it at a
goodwill store. He said he couldn't keep it in their apartment because
it gave him nightmares. He said that he talked to it...and it talked
back. I could not stop laughing. The elders in our district are so
great! Our district is just so much fun! It was the funniest district
meeting I have ever been to."
"Our investigator is doing well- but she dropped her baptism date
because she feels like she is not ready. We picked up a new investigator
this week. She was a member referral and has so much
potential!! We love teaching her (: We have a big list of former and
potential investigators that we are going to crack down on this week and
see if we can't get any new investigators out of it. This area is about
to explode! So much to do! I LOVE IT!"
"I sent in a referral today of someone I went to school with. I love
thinking of people at home I could send the missionaries to. Now that I
feel for the missionaries and their referrals, I'm going to be the best
member missionary ever when I get home haha."
"I'm excited for Christmas in the field!"
