Dear Family,
This week was a pretty good with. With transfers happening things were a little different.
Sister Bullen got transferred and I stayed. This is the first time that I have stayed in an area while my companion has left. It is a little crazy. This meant that we took the time on Monday and Tuesday to say goodbye to all the members that we could. It helped me get to know the area though, which was good. I know some of it but it was just nice to be able to get to know it better :)
On Wednesday Sister Edgley came!! She is amazing!! She was born deaf but has partial hearing in her right ear. She has a hearing aid and that helps her. She is also really good at reading lips. She is such a sweetheart :) Her last companion served in this ward for 10 months, so she knew a lot more about it than I did. It was fun. She is very outgoing and is just wonderful. :) She is from Kaysville, UT. Don't we have family from there?? She is just a sweetheart!! She signs, so we are going all over the mission to go and teach these kids. It is amazing!! She is teaching me how to sign and we are actually using it. It is funny in the car though. I drive so her left ear is facing towards me. This means that a lot of the time she can't hear me. I have started waving my hand in front of her face to get her attention when I want to talk. It is kinda funny. Otherwise, I just touch her arm and make sure that she is looking at me. It is working out wonderfully :) I am really loving serving with her :)
I have met lots of members and have started building more relationships with them. It is fun to see the connections that I have in all the different wards I am serving in. So many members know each other. It is exciting :)
We are trying to do new things and to really make this ward our own. There are things that we are going to be applying from the different missionaries that we have served with and from the different areas. It is really fun to be able to really be in control of how to do things. It is a tad stressful but Sister Edgley is truly wonderful :)
We haven't been able to meet with our investigators, but we will. We are planning on meeting with them this week, so it should be good :)
Conference was amazing!! I love being able to listen to the Prophet and Apostles. It is wonderful to hear their council and to know what they would have us know :) I enjoy it a lot :)
Well, I love you all!! I hope you have a wonderful week!! Love you!! <3 <3 You are in my prayers :)
