So, lots to be discussed! Wednesday morning we picked up our trainees and I discovered my new companion was Sister Croxall! She's the most amazing person ever. She's from Wisconsin/Pennsylvania (her family moved to Pennsylvania about a year ago, so she's a mix of the two). She has a cute Wisconsin accent, and a very sweet and powerful testimony. Getting the privilege to train her has been the best. She is just so eager to learn and so willing to take on any task thrown at her.
Meanwhile the area has slightly exploded. The Elders who used to be in the Palmyra ward have now been taken out, and so we just have two sets of sisters. We've taken over a piece of the Elders area, and so we are working with a lot of their people now, one woman named Laquana who is on date for baptism! We've recently found a lot of new people in Sister Croxall's first few days. Just to hit a few highlights the Novicks are doing well and we had a lesson with a member who clicked instantly with Wendy, so we're excited for that! We're still meeting with the Castellanos and speaking Spanish has still been a pleasure. Speaking of Spanish, Sister Croxall's first tour at the Smith Farm was in Spanish! A family from Colombia came with the sweetest kids and the strongest testimonies, it was a pleasure to get to know them.
The week has been filled with lots of new sister meetings and new missionary trainings, and as we've attended them I've been hit with flashbacks of what it feels like to be new, to be overwhelmed, but excited and ready for an adventure. And though I may not be in that spot, there's still more adventure ahead which we're very excited to experience.
Love you all! Have a very great week!
