Well for transfer news, I'm moving!! and, I'm going North! I'm sad to leave
the area, but more excited to be going north again! where exactly though, I'm
not sure. normally I would go to transfers tomorrow.... but I guess they need a
few of us to go up early so that there are enough seats to go up I guess... or
something. So I'm going up this afternoon with all the departing missionaries,
in the 'trunky truck'. It's a little sad because I had to try and cram in all my
goodbye's yesterday, instead of also having tonight. But it's okay. Bishop had
me bear my testimony yesterday in sacrament meeting which was really neat, and
then everyone knew I was leaving, so I got a lot of really sweet hugs. I got
some sweet cards from a lot of people, and some gifts too. A lei from the
awesome Tongan family that helped us put on the luau, and some sage to burn....
it was a good day. The Brown family here that I love so much said that as long
as I can get myself to EP, they will provide everything else. They're going to
start the adoption papers soon ;) haha
Also a bonus of going up a day early... I get to go to the actual transfer
meeting, and see a lot of missionaries I miss so much. AND, I get to stay the
night with Sister Carter in my last area tonight!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!! :) :)
How are all the missionary mom's and their missionaries doing? The sisters in
our mission are good. There are a lot, but I know that a LOT go home. There was
a time, when I was an STL, that in a matter of like, 3 months I witnessed 6
sisters go home. And since then many more. It's really hard to watch, and I know
that we still have a lot going home. But overall I think we average about 90
sisters in the mission, of a total of about 250. So not too shabby.
Sister Mayberry is a little nervous to stay in the area. I feel bad because
of all the hype and attention of me leaving yesterday. But the ward loves her,
even if she doesn't see it, and I know that things will go really well for her
here. Just pray that her new companion is as cool as me haha jk jk ;)
It's still hot here. This week was a little cooler... the mornings were in
the 80's, and the average in the high 90's. A lot better than the last couple
weeks averaging above 100 daily. But, monsoon season is starting. It doesn't
really rain much, but I can feel some humidity setting in.
We found a new investigator this week. I think I'm really drawn to like,
the only black people in EP haha. Her name is Annabell, and she is so cute. We
helped her bring in some furniture, and they are teaching her the Plan Of Salvation tonight.
I'm sad that I'll miss it.
I think that's the biggest news! I love it here, but I am so excited to go
see where I will die! ;) haha
love you so much!!
Love,
Sister Brown
