I got transferred to Tooele. It is almost as far west as you can get in my mission. I am with Sister Turner. She is from Washington state. I really like her. She has been out for about 9 months. The new sister that was supposed to come out didn't b/c of heath issues. So Sis. Sinclair (my MTC comp) is with Sister Wang. It should be an interesting transfer. They are both very dominate personality people. I didn't bring my planner today so I can't look back at my week to tell you about it. So I will try my very best to remember. Oh I need stamps! If you dont mind sending me some.
Tuesday I went with Sister Reyes and Sister Bliss, I e-mailed dad a picture with them, because Sister Wang was with all the other departing missionaries who went to the temple all day with Pres. and Sister Sonne. They are spanish speaking sisters. I am meant to speak spanish and tranfer to be a Spanish sister! I loved it! We spent the evening with a family. We ate dinner with them, had a lesson, and a testimony meeting. We were going to watch The Testaments but we ran out of time b/c the dad pulled out some cake after testimonies and all was lost. haha. But it was one of the most amazing things to hear the parents bare their testimonies on how they know this church is true and how they want to join! It was really cool. So I want to learn spanish and transfer to be with the spanish sisters. Sister Bliss brought me her Spanish book from the MTC so I can learn. Don't know how well it will go with me teaching myself. haha.
We don't go to the temple b/c we are 45 min away so if we went we would have to wake up at 4 am. (b/c the member that takes them wants to go to the 6 am session) But we might have found someone that will take us to the 8 am session so we would not have to get up till 6!
Three of the girls that I taught are getting baptized on Sunday!!! You Jia, Si Yun, and Amy. I am so sad I have to miss it! I sent dad a picture of them too.
Conference was amazing!!! I loved it! I got to sit in Plaza 1 for 2 sessions! I shook Elder Perry and Oaks hands, like 7 members of the 70, and women from the general presidencys. OH and Emma sat next to me for the very first session!!! She was only a few rows up from me so she moved back and sat with me!!!! She also gave me a present....ninja turtle socks!!! They are so cool! After Saturday session we got home and I asked Sister Wang who she got to give us a ride to conference and she goes, "Oh, I forgot".....SO I started thinking of who could take us and I go. "Sister Wixum!! She has to go to conference now! She is the General Primary Pres!!" So we called Sister Wixum to give us a ride to conference. haha. So I got to ride with the general Primary Pres. to conference!!! Her husband is the one that I told you about last week. He used to be the mission pres of the Washington DC mission and is now the WML in one of, now one of, my old wards. It was sooo good to see everyone at conference. I saw: Kels, Katie, Emma, Caily, Kara, Todd, Moa, Sis/Bro Lansing, Aly (old roommate) and Kendall! I looked for Sister Jordana Wilde all day but never found her and then we went to dinner and then back to TS for a lesson while the priesthood session was going on. Well I looked for her again and never found her. Right when we were about to leave I thought to myself, I will see her when I see her. When I least expect it I know I will see her so I will just stop worrying. I turned around and 4 sisters were walking near us. One of them looked like her but I didnt get to excited b/c I could not be so lucky. Well it was her!!!! I was sooo excited to see her!! It just made my day!
Easter was good. Went to conference and then had a dinner appt. and then went to go visit Asian investigators b/c they don't celebrate Easter.
On Monday our lesson cancelled right as we pulled in their driveway...but it was all good b/c 2 elders (our DL and one ZL) called us to see if we had appts. and if we didn't asked if we wanted to go singing with them to investigators. So we did. It was shockingly really fun!!! Oh and it had been snowing all day so I was slidding. It was kind of scary but I did pretty good and Sister wWang said I did good too! haha. So thanks dad! After singing we were walking to the cars and of course a snowball came flying at me! One of the elders threw it and so then there was this huge snowball fight where me and the 2 elders just attacked each other. Then Sister Wang ran around in her Asian accent saying-- who knows what. It was great!
There is a girl in my zone from VA! I know her brother and sister -in- law! Small world! Her name is Sister Stoner and she is to my right in the huge sister's pictures. Um this week was just all weird b/c of conference and transfers so I dont have to0 much to report. Thanks for the e-mails!!! Love you all. Love, Sister Anderson
