Oh my goodness. Things just never slow down out here! It's so crazy but I do love it a lot. It is fun :) You'll never guess what happened this week.....Go ahead and try but there really is no point! So earlier this week we were in a teach (with our new investigator Claudia who is AMAZING!) and we got a call from president so sister alrled answered. President began with that phrase 'are you two ready for another adventure??!' Of course! I love presidents adventures. It's mad but it is so much fun. President has given us yet another assignment. We are TRAINING TOGETHER!!! hahaha There is a sister who is waiting for her visa to go to her mission in California. It hasn't come yet so they put her in this mission for a while till she gets it so president has put her with us and we are training her. She hasn't even been through the MTC yet. She is really cool. Her name is Sister Corner and she is from up north so she has a great accent! She lives in the Birmingham mission. She arrived in Hastings on Friday. Luckily our flat is huge so there is plenty of room for her but we only have two beds so I've been sleeping on the couch which has been surprizingly good for my back :) We don't know how long she will be here but President said plan on having her for a couple weeks. Transfers are next week so I don't know if he will keep three sisters here or what...who knows. he may just move me again so I may not even be involved haha. I can't believe I'm training again. I was really shocked but I love training! It is so much fun and the newbies always have so much fire. I love it! It will be wierd that both sister allred and I are training but so far we haven't had any problems. It is a lot of fun. All the tri's I have been in have been such a blast. I've been really lucky with companions!
This week has been really good. Things are going so well and the work is really starting to pick up in Hastings. The difficult part is we will be out of our area for most of the week this week so the two days we are here will be crammed with teaches and we'll be running from one appointment to another -if they all go through that is! We did our first 'senior sister trainer exchange' (ugh that needs a new name...) this week. It was a lot of fun! And complete madness for a bit. I brought sister preistley to Hastings and Sister Allred went to Eastbourne with SISTER HOWARD! man I miss serving with sister howard. She was the best. I've done several exchanges with Sister Preistley. This was our third. It was so much fun. She is an incredible missionary. I love her and I wish I could have served with her but it just wasn't meant to be I guess. She is from Lincoln (wherever that is. up north?) She is a convert. She has only been a member for 3 years or something. She finishes her mission right after I do so she came on a mission after only being a member for about a year. It was the same so many of my companions. Sister Mocza, Boleska did similar things. It amazes me when they go that soon after joining the church! Someone didn't want sister preistley and I going to Hastings... On wednesday we had zone conference in Crawley which was amazing! and after the conference we swapped. Sister Preistley and I went to catch a train and we missed it and the next one didn't come for an hour! so we went to eat dinner and then caught the train and we had to swap trains at another station and long story short all the trains were delayed and everything was a mess and trains were leaving from the wrong platforms and trains were delayed again and again. It was nuts. It was getting pretty late and no trains seemed to be going to Hastings anymore. The trains were delayed because of an 'intruder incident' or something. we caleld the office elders and the sister in Tunbridge wells were having the same problem and were stranded at another station so the elders picked all of us up and drove us to Tunbridge Wells to spend the night. The next morning we went finally made it to Hastings!!! And it was a great exchange. We had so many miracles and met so many great people. The area is really taking off which is difficult because we won't have much time to work in it this week.
Sooo...yeah. That was my week. I hope that all made sense. It has been so crazy and I'm running out of time so I have to go. Today we are going to the Battle of Hastings with our District which will be fun!
Thanks for everything! I love you so much and I am so grateful for all that you do for me! I love it out here so much. I nearly broke down in tears about 6 times yesterday because it kept hitting me how soon I will be home. Aahh!
I love you so much! thank you for everything. and thank you for sending that letter that dad had written. that was amazing and just what I needed to hear. Thank you, that meant a lot to me.
I love you!!!
Love, chels
