Even bigger news, I'm training a brand spankin' new missionary from the MTC. Her name is Sister T. I will attach a picture of the two of us with Sister K. and her new companion, Sister F., who is also straight from the MTC. There were only two new sisters and we got them both! So, no worries -- just doubling into an area that I have no idea about and I'm training as well. I don't need to tell any of you that I'm stressed because you all know me too well!
Sister T. is fantastic, though! We are both loving it here. She especially loves the rural aspect because she's from Geneva, Idaho, and grew up on a dairy farm. In fact, our ward mission leader's wife offered to give us fresh milk from their cow every week -- before she even knew that Sister T. grew up on a dairy farm. This was very good because Sister T. is not a huge fan of store-bought milk. I'm kind of excited "to get hooked" on fresh milk myself!
A few notes about my previous area -- it is on fire! Members have been inviting their friends to church! The day before I left, a member invited her neighbor to the play group that the women in the ward do together, and it turns out the neighbor is looking for a church . . .!! Well, the member called to tell us all about it -- she was so excited. She's a returned missionary and is thrilled to be sharing the gospel again. We invited her to ask her friend if she'd like a chapel tour. Turns out she'd been thinking of asking us about a chapel tour, but she wasn't sure if we did that in our mission or not. Yay for the Spirit! I also heard that the members found two interested families last week. I have such mixed feelings about this; I want to be there to see all this happen . . . but I'm just going to have to help it happen here, too!
