Dear Fam!
My welcome to OK was
great. The Mission Pres, sister Walkinhorst and the APs all came to welcome us
off the plane. There were 7 sisters who came from the Provo MTC and 3 elders
who came from the Mexico MTC. We had orientation and got to see our bikes. Then
we stayed the night at the mission home. The next morning we went to the church
where transfers take place and got to meet our trainers. My new companion is Sister
Stewart (I promise to send pics of everything soon). She is from Roy, UT and
has been out for 7 months. She reminds me a little of Mads :} hehe. Anyway, I
have gotten lots of hugs from the sisters and it is awesome!! All of my luggage
arrived with me so I was really happy about that :}
I have all of the
necessary things to keep my teeth clean, just for you mama ;}
We are in an apartment in
an area called Quail Creek. It is about 35 mins north of Oklahoma City. It is a suburb to OKC and it is pretty big. It is a
one room, one bathroom, on kitchen apartment and it is home sweet home out here
haha. We are in a car area unless we run out of miles... then we start biking. But
we walk a lot when we go out tracting. WHICH sister Stewart made me do on my
1st day out haha. She is so awesome though. We get along really well.
I am near OSU I believe.... but all the houses are split, meaning they cheer one both teams haha. We shop at Wal-Mart. I have eaten out at a place called Broms and it is really good. It's a fast food restaurant and it kinda reminds me of In-'n-out but much better and less greasy. On P-day we study, clean our apartment, do our laundry in the apartment (cuz we have a washer and dryer in the apartment), go to the library and write emails, go shopping for food and necessities, then to the church where we play sports of all kinds, then shower and get ready at the apartment, go eat food at a members house and then tract for the rest of the night :} it is a busy day haha.
I am glad that you guys
are doing well. I can Definitely feel your prayer for me.
Which reminds me. Yesterday
we were at a members house (the Olsens) eating Father's Day dinner (HAPPY
FATHER'S DAY DADDY!) and before we left we left them with a message. But this
was no ordinary message. We asked them to do a short but sweet prayer for me
and Sister Stewart to go out and see miracles. So they prayed and with their
faith combined with ours, Sister Stewart and I went tracting for an Hour of
Power. It was amazing!!! We prayed with 6 people, gave pass-a-long cards to 13
people and got a return appointment from a man named Jay! Sister Stewart and I
decided that we would do Hour of Power every week now haha.
This mission is hard but
so fun at the same time. I hope everything is going well for you in alpine :}
We may or may not have had an earthquake last night haha. Just so you know :}
Love you guys TONS!
Love sister Meagan

OH I forgot to tell you about what happened on Tuesday of last
week when I was at the Presidents house..... BUENO CALLED!! He wasn't going to
be able to go to transfers because he wasn't being transferred but he called
the President's house to talk to me and tell me how excited he was that I
was here! Is that not the craziest thing in the world! President was joking
about it all night and into the morning as well.... so weird. He is like dad. But, most of his jokes are not funny haha. He is super nice and always puts the need of others before his own. He is so awesome!!
Anyway... Love you
soooooo much!!
Love Sister Meagan :}
