This week has been
kinda rough but good. We have seen more sun this week but as I am writing this
email it is raining... G'ma told me I need to take my vitamin D so I am
starting today! The Peery's sent me a
package this week. It was a Box of Sunshine! I loved it and it made me so
happy.
So this week....
Things have been a
little stressful with our investigators. G'ma sent me an email talking about
how everyone has their agency. Sometimes it is so stressful because I just want
to make the right choices for our investigators but cannot. Cody's situation is
interesting and there are some questions about getting permission from both of his parents. We fasted with them
and some other families in the ward yesterday. We still have Cody set forJuly
30th. We are hopefully talking to the Bishop more about it today. I have faith in them though.
This week we
had dinner at Gramma Conine's and for dessert she
had chocolate covered strawberries and a few other things. She put
the plate right in front of me - I ate so many and she wrapped some up for me
to take them home. I was thrilled.
We also had lunch with
Sister Dorsey (ward missionary) she is in her 70s but is a hoot. She loves us
and we love her. She fed us toasted PB&Js - so good! She feeds us often!
We also had a new
missionary training with President and Sister Rasmussen. At the
end we prepared lessons for role plays. It was funny because
President Eaton was super strict about Elders and Sister communicating with
each other. After we prepared lessons, President explained
that 2 companionships would come up and trade off teaching each other
in role plays. He picked Elders and Sisters to role play with each other. You
could tell the older missionaries were freaking out because they have never
role played together. It was kinda funny to watch because I role
played with Elders in the MTC so it wasn't that weird to me. At the
training Elder Duncan told me his mom asked how I was doing. While we were
talking I felt the other missionaries looking at us thinking
"why are they talking to each other?" Elders and
Sisters barely talk to each other. It may change with President Rasmussen
though...I don't know. Also Sister Rasmussen
said that we probably won't be getting iPads for a long time.
We went on splits with
Sister Linker and Sister Wright for about 2 hours. I was with Sister Linker and
we found 2 new investigators and Sister Wright and Hollingsworth found 1. So it
was awesome.
Last night we had a
missionary devotional. I sang in the choir again. I was next to Sister Linker
and she is an amazing singer so I tried sing quiet to blend with her...so
people thought I was a better singer than I am.
Also Pokémon Go is
everywhere here. We see people all the time playing it but it is good for us
because more people are outside to contact. There is also little kids running
around the library right now because they have Pokémon balls on the walls and
stuff.
Overall, it as been a
good week. Some days are rough but I just can't wait to be past my first
transfer.
Love you,
Sister Wynder
