Hello family 🙂
Oh I am glad you got to see a picture! She is a doll. Me and her are like peas and carrots.
1-Did you say she is fairly new?
1. She has been out for 3 transfers. So she came out with Sister H.!
2-She was trained by Sister C. just barely?
2. Sister C. trained Sister S. and they were together for 3 trans. just like Sister H. and I! So basically we just swapped daughters and islands!
3-How long has she been out then?
3. She’s been out for 4 and half months.
4-How are the people in where you are?
4. The people here are WONNERFUL!!!!!!!! They grow closer to my heart every day. I am not going to lie, it was really hard to leave all of the people from B’dos. But the people here are so great and feel like fam already.
5-How is the branch?
5. The branch, is very small. The people are so sweet. Sister S. and I have big big plans for this cute island. There have been disobedient/less than effective missionaries here in the past so there are trust probs and stuff like that. We are kinda starting from scratch with everything so it’ll be challenging but SO FUN! And worth it!
6-Is there more than one set of missionaries in your branch?
6. There has normally been 2 sets of missionaries here. But when I came in they blanked another set of elders… So now we have six!! 🙂
7-How often do you see the senior couple?
7. I have seen them twice since I have been here… So basically hardly ever.
8-Tell me the most interesting thing you have learned since you got there.Â
8. I have learned that life can always always be worse and someone always has it worse off then you. I have learned so much in these short weeks. The people here hardly have anything and I just want to give all that I have to them!! I “accidentally” gave away my watch the other day… Hahah it’s alright 🙂
I have learned to LOVE LOVE LOVE And to be yourself always and people will love you. Just like the Stake President told me. 🙂
Sister S. and I have been working our behinds right off!!!!!!!! This week we set HIGH goals and reached every single one. The best week in numbers I have ever had. Hard work and goal setting takes you a long long way 🙂
Although we have had just about every miss fortune possible..
Hahah our water has gone out completely and then partially. One of your investigators yelled at us and got super offended and that set off the Branch Pres. who was helping us teach that man. There have been so many crazy tings appen.
We are finding lots of great people and trying to find those who are prepared.
I love the people here so much already though seriously.
And I got my wish! I wanted to be in an adventuristic mission and it is happening even more so this transfer!!! LIFE IS GREAT.
Anyway!!! Sounds like all is well for you all 🙂
I am so proud of my cute Sar bear! She will be a great missionary!
Ok so something cool is that before my mission if I had a bad or stressful day I would whip out Bob Marley and listen to Three little birds, and multiple times on my mission where I was stressed or worried somehow I end up hearing that song… Tender mercy from the Lord in a funny way….??… I think yes!
Anyway ereybody I know this is the true church on the earth today. It is my light and my joy and I am so grateful for it 🙂
Have a great week I love you all! Look unto the lord in every thought, doubt not fear not.
Love always, Seester Emily 🙂
