Hello One and All!
Life is grand as usual!
Transfers
happened Tuesday. And as usual it was stormy and cold. We waited at the Stake
Center for Sister Christensen (my companion) and Sister Young (Sister Zvirzdin's
companion). They were driving up from Loveland with a brand new Jeep for the
Rawlin's area. So, when Sister Christensen and I were finally united, we went
home to get some unpacking done before dinner which we ate at the Wardle's
house. I love their family. They are the best! Then we stopped over and saw
Sister McCormick and Bishop. I love them too.
On Wednesday, we taught four lessons and introduced
Sister C. to some of the ward. One of the sisters we visited was Sister
Spackman. She showed us the quilts that her daughter had made for her, and she
also gave us each a lap afghan that she crocheted herself.
We also did some
service at the VA hospital which is always fun. I got to talk with a man named
Tom and with Bill again. Bill is so sweet. He told me that Jennifer (the lady in
charge of all the activities) is his best friend because she is so helpful and
good to him. It was cute.
Thursday was an adventure.
We ate lunch with Nancy and taught her about prayer and commit her to read Enos
1. She is so much fun. I wish she didn't have to work on Sunday's, so she could
come to church with us.
We also had a really fun district meeting. The
elders want snacks, so I am in charge. I said I would make a peanut butter pie.
That will be fun. (Luckily I have a lot of cookies and candy I can pass out each
week thanks to the Branch and the wonderful package they sent ) Ps. The new elders in our district: Elder Springer - he has been
out for 6 months and spent all of that time down in Boulder, CO; Elder Tyler -
he has been in our district before as District Leader. He has since been called
as a Zone Leader; Elder Maola(sp) - he is awaiting a visa to
go to South Africa. He has been out 10 days...or less.
We also taught
Dave the workout guy. (I don't know his last name yet. ) He is still reading the Book of Mormon and is in the Isaiah
chapters of 2nd Nephi. It's awesome. He says he doesn't want to go to church
with us yet, but I think someday he might. He also told us he doesn't usually
let people talk to him about religion, so something touched his Spirit when
Sister Z and I stopped by a month ago. (Woah...has it really been that
long?)
Friday, Sister C. had MLC's, so she and two other sisters went
down to Loveland while I worked with their companions. We were able to do some
service at one of the museums down here that is near the Air Force, but that was
it. It was a lot of fun.
We also went to a baptism for the Eastridge Sisters. It was so good and
super spiritual. Miracles really do happen!
I also received my package
that day as it was delivered to me by our Zone Leaders. I was so happy! Thanks to all who donated for the cause of a Happy Sister Bryans.
You totally made my day!
