Hey Family!!
Guess what?! I
got transferred! It's a little bit weird being somewhere else but change is
fun. I am now serving in Cheltenham which is the southern part of our mission.
It is amazing! It is a pretty posh area so very different from Dudley. Everyone
is dressed really nicely, the houses are insane, and the cars are incredible.
This week was especially crazy because it was horse racing week. There was
drunk people everywhere! At all hours of the day! We had to change our schedule
around a little bit because of it but this week should go back to normal. The
ward here is awesome! There are around 200 members and about half of them are
from America. It's pretty great :) Most of them work for the U.S government and
they go on three year tours to different parts of the world. Pretty cool! Also,
guess who my new companion is? Sister Lee!! She's the one from Elder
McFarland's mission. I was flippin' out when I found out that we would be
serving together. How crazy is that?! It is a little bit difficult because she
doesn't speak English very well and I have to explain things again or talk
slower but so far it's been pretty good.
Cheltenham is
also a biking area. At first I was pretty excited because I had been wanting to
bike for a long time. I've changed my mind. haha. I am SO sore!! I got my bike
from Sister Eldredge who just went home, and it ended up being in worse shape
than I thought. The back tire wobbled and the brakes didn't work. So the Elders
helped us out and we took it to a shop. Everything seemed to be going okay so
we didn't worry too much about it. Then, when we were riding to church
yesterday, I looked down at my wheel and saw that it was completely flat and that
the tube was coming out! So long story short, Mom do you think you could
transfer some money in to my account so I can buy a new bike? :)
So here
are the pictures of my foot you've been waiting for. They really aren't that
bad but just a little bit gross. My foot is completely healed and everything is
great so no worries there :)
I'm sorry that
this email is so short! We don't have a lot of people that we are working with
so this week is going to be full of finding. Wehoo! I'm excited to get things
going here and hopefully have some success. Apparently the sisters here haven't
had a baptism since about a year ago, so Sister Lee and I are setting goals and are
ready to work. I know that there are people here who are ready to accept the
gospel and I am grateful for this opportunity I have to serve here.
Thank you guys
for all of your love, prayers, and support!! I promise I'll be better and
writing more interesting things; stuff about our investigators, the area, and
the things that I am learning. I hope you have a great week!! I love you!!
Love,
Sister
