Today is a foggy day here! We can't even see the sun behind the
clouds- Sister O thought it might snow! How crazy is that! But our most
exciting news is that TODAY WE ARE GOING TO THE TEMPLE! So excited I can hardly
see straight! They are opening it special for the missionaries in our zone today
and we will have a completely full session- every single seat filled with
something like 40 of us! Crazy isn't it! The rest of the mission will just come
as districts but we will all be there as a zone. I am very excited- like
Christmas morning excited!
We had a smooth transfer. Traveling and all that packing made me a very
tired girl! Especially since we had to be at the church by 6:30 to wait for the
bus- I had to get up before that to pack my last things and get ready. So I was
exhausted by the time I got here. And since I've been on my mission I struggle
with motion sickness. So that was not so fun after being in a bus for about 10
hours. But it was good to talk to missionaries. Sister C got transferred up
here so I was able to update her on things and I was able to sit with Sister
R until Monahans. Then we got here and I am LOVING Sister O! She is from
Draper, Utah and was the first 19 year old in our mission. She went to Utah
State before and is just so quirky and fun. She has been out for about 7 months.
And we work REALLY well together and get along really great! She does great
impersonations and has me laughing all day long! This is going to be a great
transfer!
So we had Stake Conference yesterday and so I am
still feeling a bit out of the loop with the ward. But that's alright, Sister
O knows exactly what is going on! As I was talking with Sister R on the
bus we realized how many contacts we had with YSA aged people while we were here
and I recognize that maybe that is one of the reasons I am back. We have already
contacted 2 of them (S and C) and set up appointments AND there were
these less actives we were working with back then and so Sister O and I went my first day here to check up on them (esp since one is YSA aged) and sadly
(so sadly) they had moved! BUT of all the miracles- the lady who moved in wasn't
home but her granddaughter and best friend were WHO ARE YSA! So we are now
teaching them!
We split the YSA with Sister O's old companions and the Assistants. The
Assistants are pretty busy so that's that. And we are still working out the
kinks of sharing in a YSA. There are definitely enough to share but how to split
boundaries and such is interesting. Right now we are kinda just working with
what we come in contact with and going from there. Luckily we have a great
relationship with the other sisters so communication and organization is
fine!
If anyone looks at my blog probably no letters in the mail from me this
week. Too busy with a temple trip.. :/ sorry
I love you HAPPY HALLOWEENIE!! XOXOXO dress up real nice for me since I
can't!!
Love Sister Peterson!
