Alooooooooooha! This week rocked! :)
Monday was full of packing (It was transfer week). And we had fun with the Milton Sisters. They rock.
Tuesday
was our last district meeting together. Which was sad. And then Tuesday
night we had dinner with the B Family. I might've cried on our way out.
But Sis B. told me to call her whenever I needed anything. Sister
Loader was there to comfort me :) I sure like her. After too many
goodbyes and the final packing of things, I hit the sack. I went from
Trainee to trainer overnight! Literally! :)
Wednesday morning was sooo different. I woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed, so so excited for my new Sister (companion) !!
I thought back to my first day in the field and I got greenie-excited
all over again! I gave a hug to Sister Loader and then my ride came and
took me to the mission office. It was sad to leave her, but I'm gonna
see her tomorrow at Zone Training. So that's cool. :) When we got to the
mission office, we sat in the Chapel and all heard the names of our
trainees for the first time... after about 30 mins, they walked in! And I
met Sister Marshall!! She's 19, from Riverton, UT. And she's super
cool. Her dad shipped her bike to GA and she put it together at the
mission office. Without help from the elders. I wish I was that cool.
Hopefully some of that will rub off on me by the time we're done
together :)
We got a packet with some info about our new apartment, keys to the
car (yay for a car!), a phone number of someone who was supposed to
give us our keys and then we were on our way! Thanks to my
trusty-handy-dandy GPS, we found our apartment! The other sisters had
'heart attacked' our door. :) Oh yeah. We're the 3rd set of missionaries
in that ward. Does the Lindon Stake even have one set of missionaries?!
We met with Bishop Foye for dinner and he gave us some names of
people to talk to. We talked to the sisters and they gave us some
referrals. Basically this ward rocks.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday were full of visiting people, contacting, and sweating. Gotta love missionary work, am I right? :)
Sunday was awesome! It was ward conference so there were some people from the Webb Bridge ward (her previous ward)
with stake callings. That was my tender mercy for the day :) By the
way, Paper Mill is the best ward in the mission. Just sayin :)
Also. My apartment is in Sandy Springs. Guess where
the temple is? Sandy Springs. The other sisters told us that if it
wasn't for all the trees, we could see if from our apartment. Ah! Let me
just tell you this. I am never going to take the temple for
granted again. :) We didn't get to go last month. So... the next time I
go will be the last day of my mission.
Crazy story! So this morning we went walking with a
member because it's her favorite thing and there's a super pretty nature
walk along the Chattahoochee. We were walking to the nature walk and
Sis Allen said that there was a fire in a complex a couple of streets
over. So we passed that street and there were still trucks and stuff.
And news people. So... we passed them. So... I might've been on TV this
morning. Haha. :)
I love training. I love the mission. Life is great! :)

Quote for the week:
I wish we could listen to Tangled music. It's the best. -Sis Marshall.
Yeah. Tangled is pretty cool -Sis J
"I see the light" is my favorite -Sis M
Well. That's a good one, but it has romantic overtones... -Sis J
Psh, we're thinking about the light of Christ! -Sis M.
We had a good laugh :)
