Oh my goodness
gracious! I cannot believe that it is already transfer #3! Man, that
flew by..... well... time flies when you are having a great time!:)
So
the moment you all have been waiting for about my new companion. This
is my 3rd companion in 3 transfers... which does not happen very often
AT ALL, especially since I am still a "greeny". But the wonderful
companion that is "greeny breaking" me is Sister Clement. Oh my
goodness, she is the best! I love her to bits and we have become super
close over the last week. The story is, is that when I was told that my
companion was going to be her at transfer meeting, I was SUPER excited!!
I looked around for her but she wasn't there... I was like, what? where
is she?... Sister Richardson said that she would talk to me after the
transfer meeting.... uhhhh.... why? Well it turns out that Sister
Clement was super sick with the flu that has been going around in
Florida.... so she was at her apartment. I then went on exchanges with
another sister and we drove over to Coral Springs to pick up my
extremely sick companion!!:) I picked her up then took her home and got
her into bed. Those next two days we were in the house all day long. I
have never been so excited to go outside and work in my whole mission!
Our house is so big, it got super lonely, but, I got to read lots of
ensigns and watch the church movies a lot.:) But, we also got to talk a
lot and to get to know each other. We had a party at the house!:) My
companion is the best and she is super happy all the time!:) We are
going to do amazing things in this area!:)
We were blessed yesterday (Sunday)
to see Liz and Nicklus get confirmed!:) They have the Holy Ghost in
their family now! Having that in their family will be a total blessing
for that family!:)
Sister Clement and I were also able to have a few of our Less Actives come to church Yesterday!! It always makes my Sunday
50 billion times better when I see these people come into the building!
I cannot express how much I love these people! It is always such a joy
to see them at their houses and to help them to remember what it is like
to have the spirit in their homes. I been able to see a difference in
their countenance since they started to come back to church again. I
love to see that!:)
The most meaningful part in
all of the emails that I received, was the fact that Katie Fackrell
asked Jack to Sweethearts! I'm so excited for him to be able to go on a
date with Katie! She is so sweet and he is probably SUPER excited!;) His
friends at Mountain Crest love my brother and they want him to have fun
and to be ok. I love that! That made my day.:)
I
love you all and hope that you all are going to have the best week
ever!! Always trust in Heavenly Father that he will provide you with the
things that you need, both spiritual and temporal. AS LONG as you keep
His commandments. He always provides a way!:) I'm super grateful for the
opportunity to serve a mission. I know that I say that every time but I
really mean it. These last few months have truly been the hardest AND
best time of my life, but, it is worth it. It is SO worth it to see the
happiness of this gospel change people's lives entirely. I have seen
many blessings that I would not give up for anything.:)
Have a blessed Week!!
Love Ya!:)
Sister Salmond
