so tell me sweetheart, when are transfers? I'm sending a package and don't want you to miss it :) Transfers are May 13th ;]
How did your week go? We had to go on 3 exchanges this week. 1 was actually scheduled and the other two were emergency exchanges. So sister duersch and I have seen like 2 ½ days of each other. It is crazy!! Plus it was really hard to plan for the day when you then would be in a different area and your comp was gonna do everything you had planned for. It was just really weird.
Are you usually the one who goes on the exchange and your comp stays for the exchange or do you swap that around too? usually we swap back and forth on who will stay and who will go. but lately i have been the one staying and sis duersch has left... so next transfer it will probably swap haha
did you have to teach at a zone meeting? Not until next transfer, and even then it is up to the Zone Leaders whether they want us to train or not :}
how are the sisters in your zone doing? is there love there? They have been getting along a little better, but there is still some tension and it is messing with everybody’s moods. So a lot of us are easily upset over little things now and I am scared that soon, it will get worse. But for now we are managing it the best we can.
What are your greatest strengths now as a missionary? Have you gained new ones? My greatest strength right now is the ability to understand others. To understand their side of the discussion and then figure out and teach to their needs. That is something that I have learned while on my mission cuz I definitely didn't have that back home ;] haha
What is the hardest part of being a missionary or an STL? Hmm.. that is hard. It depends on the day I think. But probably staying positive when everything goes kaput. (I don’t think that word is spelled right but the auto correct didn't say it was wrong haha) also it is hard some times to keep calm and stay strong while someone is bashing on what you believe.
What is the best part? The best part would have to be watching someone around you (even you) change because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Atonement.
What have you learned so far that will help you the rest of your life and can you teach me too? I have learned that you cant just have a testimony of the gospel but you need to be converted to the gospel. There are so many people out here who know that the book of Mormon is true, but they aren't willing to change or to come closer to Jesus Christ through the covenant of baptism. So as a go through the rest of my mission and then the rest of my life, I want to be continually converted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ ;}
is it weird that this will be my last phone call home? the next one will be me getting off the airplane haha
i gotta go mama, but i love you and will see you on Sunday :]
