I survived this
week...it's a miracle! I am really happy in my new area though. I
will tell you more about it in a minute. But first let me tell you about
leaving Brighton...it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Saying
goodbye to everyone Monday and Tuesday was so hard and I cried a lot. I
had my last teach with T, which I was crying for an hour leading up to it
just cause I didn't know what to say...but I just bore my testimony to him and
told him to bear his testimony. I really hope he will continue to learn
and progress in the gospel. It is so hard leaving these people behind who
I have invested so much time and energy into. But I know he is in good
hands. Saying goodbye to T was so hard as well. He didn't come
to our study class Tuesday night to say goodbye, so I had to do it over the
phone. I was crying so hard, he just kept saying don't cry, but that
didn't help at all. Man I miss all of them, I love Brighton so much and I
still pray for success in missionary work there.

That being said, it is weird cause I have kind of forgotten
I was even in Brighton a week ago. It is weird how quickly I have
adjusted to my new area and focused on the work here. Wednesday was
transfer day which was the longest day of my life. We went up to transfer
meeting at 9 AM, drove for 1.5 hours, stayed there for like 5 hours cause we
had to wait for new missionaries, then had a 4 hour drive to Taunton. I
am way out in the middle of nowhere. But it is great here. The flat
is nice and big and the ward is so great. Sister Dimond is the
best. We are best friends already...it is going to be such a good
transfer. I don't think I have walked as much as I have this
week in my whole life. There were originally 2 areas in my ward, the
Taunton area (which is where I am) and Bridgwater. But they just closed
down Bridgwater so we have to take it over. All together, our area is
half of the stake boundaries. It is crazy. We keep praying we can
get a car, but I don't think that will happen. And there aren't really
buses here so we walk everywhere! It is so tiring, but I am losing all of
the weight I gained in Brighton so I guess that is a plus. Sister Dimond
is a super hard worker, I don't think I have ever worked this hard in my whole
life. We are always running somewhere or talking to someone. I would
say she is one of the hardest workers in the whole mission. I am loving
it. I am so exhausted, but she is teaching me a lot. I really hope
we can be companions for more than just one transfer....
So Taunton is great. Lots of work going on here and lots
of potentials to teach. There are families here too which is so
nice! We spent the day yesterday at the Bishops house, and he is
awesome. The difference here from Brighton is amazing. I love
Brighton, but I have a feeling I will love it just as much here. Sister
Dimond served in Brighton too, so we talk about the people there all the time
haha, but she liked Taunton better than Brighton.
The first teach we had together we were meeting someone for
the first time, and he is solid. He was a referral from some other
Sisters and we taught him the restoration. We extended a Baptismal Date
and he accepted it! We are seriously seeing so many miracles here, it is
amazing! Sister D is really good at following the promptings of the
spirit as well which is really good for me to learn from.
All in all I am doing
really good. I am tired and still adjusting to Taunton.
Well, sorry I don't really know what to say....we are seeing
lots of miracles here and have so many hilarious stories already.
We went to see a
potential investigator the other day but we didn't have anyone else with us so
we couldn't go in his home. This man was from Italy and couldn't really
understand our english...we tried explaining to him we had to sit outside, but
he just didn't understand. He kept saying 'I no Gansta' it was hilarious,
we were dying. Then he kept asking us if we had boyfriends and asked
sister D to go run away with him hahaha it was hilarious. Man I love life
right now.
Well I love you all so much! I hope you have a
fantastic time in Norway mom and Dad. I am really jealous, but not really
cause I love my life out here. Oh and we get our ipads tuesday.
Which is scary but exciting!
Love you!
