The area has been kinda ravaged by strange sisters and sisters going home early. Sister Allen is the only one who knows the area and she is not my companion so we kinda just run around and find members houses and try to not get lost and talk to people.
Our area covers techno valley. Yes, techno valley is a real place. I insisted we go up there as soon as i got here but was a little disappointed to find there was no dance party.
Sister miller is my companion and she is a little odd. Loves everything dweeb. Luckily all the important things are there- she's obedient, sweet and is down to work really hard.
Its really strange to not have a senior companion to turn to for help but im really enjoying being able to do things the way i want to have them done. I haven't felt this productive in a long time.
We have seen some miracles already- we went to a university close by our house and did some street contacting. As i was talking to people this middle aged man came up to me and started talking to me about learning english. I explained that we were missionaries and but we offered an english gospel program if he was interested. He continued to tell me that he was trying to find religion and that he thought we were meant to meet each other. We gave me his number and we met the next day with a member from the ward. He seems to have a lot of interest and i couldn't believe how much the lord is helping us to find investigators. We also picked up a chinese investigator and her husband- sweetest thing in the world. THey even came to church on sunday. Let me remind you i have been here FOUR DAYS. Love this place.
I have more to tell you about my dear sweet companion.
She has a crazy good memory and can remember every part of every movie she's ever seen and is an amazing story teller. She even acts them out sometimes. Its like having a tv.
only you have to be careful what channel you choose cause some are way too long and cant be turned off.
She loves everything magical and mystical.
I love love love it.
We walked over to the church to do something and a bunch of the youth was standing around the church. A punk kid threw a snowball at us so i basically had to defend ourselves. In the middle of all this i was running away across the parking lot when i slipped on some ice.
The next thing i knew i was on the ground with a cracked rib (seriously it hurst when i breath. but don't freak out IM FINE.) and seriously damaged pride. Pretty sure i made a really good impression.
I spoke in sacrament meeting. I did ok until this little kid ran on the podium and stuck his hand up my skirt. Pretty much forgot everything i was going to say but everyone was really nice to me afterwards anyways.
So glad today is pday. Im going to play my heart out all day... actually until 530 and then i have an appointment with our slightly creepy ward mission leader.
Im so happy. Im so grateful for the support i get from all of my friends and family. Im the luckiest girl in the world. Im so grateful to be a missionary- time is going by much too quickly.
Guess what? The gift of tongues is real. Sometimes i can understand everything people are saying.
LOV ELOVE LOVLOVEOELOVLOELOEVLEOV you
