The sister missionary: Leaves, Moose and the Northern Lights

hello hello hello OH MY HECK I CANT WAIT TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK. its insanity i tell you. pure craziness. but its good.

i THOUGHT i was busy when i was in the city last time... but this is crazy!!!

ok.. but from the begining.

so when i was still in drayton valley at the beggining of this week i might have forgotten to tell you that we saw FIVE MOOSE aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the NORTHERN LIGHTS. my life is officially complete. jk im still on a mission for the lord. not completed yet.. but it was pure joy i tell you. seeing the world in perfection. i cried in joy :) ha

ok so its been kind of a blur but its been a good TIRING blur.

so monday tuesday packing and cleaning and saying goodbye to my friends :( that was hard. but its good. wednesday transfer meeting. it was HUGE transfer and those are always fun seeing old friends and stuff.
my new companion ROCKS :):) her name is sister Gardner from crescent valley NEVADA. she rocks. seriously. and she rocks style too.

i have NO TIME TO DO ANYTHING. ever. we plan bucket load of things alllll the time. its a HUGE ward, and we had to plan plan plan and planning exchanges takes forever cause you have to line up your schedule with 5 other companionships and we only have the car HALF OF THE TIME.... so ya thats an adventure for sure. i love the sisters im over tho...
ok so for those of you who asked a sister training leader is like.. the girl version of a zone leader but only over sisters... btu their not in your zone really cause there are not as many sisters and they are kinda spread out and we just make sure they are doing good and help counsel them on some things they cant really talk to the elders about. so not really qualified to do that but i do my best. havent actually done it yet.. first exchange is tomorrow. im excited :)

this ward rocks. i love them already. its very big ward tho. thats weird to me haha.

we have alot of investigators to work with. i literally couldnt be sent to a more happening area.. i need to stay on top of things its a loooooot to think about and plan for and make sure goes well... the first three days i felt like my head was about to explode i had been thinking so long and so hard but my heart and emotions were tooootally calm and felt so peaceful about everything. and i sleep like a rock every night. its so crazy. i dont wake up till 5:30.. cause i think my body is used to daylight savings or something. but i can go back to sleep till 6:15. then i get up :P thats PROBABLY the hardest part of my whole mission. MORNINGs. ha.

we go running in the mornings tho :) i LOVE it :) i loooove it.

it snowed this week

like 5 inches
and its -15

hello edmonton. i see you.
