So this week was a pretty good one.
We were
able to find new people to teach and I was able to get to know the ward
members better. It already feels like I've been here for forever though.
it's weird. It's really funny though. the ward in which I'm serving has
like the epitome of a small southern town feel. Super nosey, super
gossipy, everybody knows everything about everybody within seconds and
everybody has a opinion. People get offended really easily, and they
will love and feed strangers right off the bat just out of the goodness
of their hearts. It's great. A little nerve wracking, but great. So we
have a lot of potential investigators right now who I think will turn
out to be just golden. Lots of prepared people for sure.
The different thing about this area is that while it
was primarily tracting/ self finding based in my other areas in order to
find people to teach, in this area, people are not very kind or
receptive at all to us when we tract, but because the ward is so
missionary minded we have plenty of people to teach. This is the first
time that I've been able to see what a fully functioning missionary ward
looks and feels like. It is pretty amazing. It really is such a
testimony builder that the Lord knows the best way to do His work, and
that is through the members and missionaries working together. Pretty
cool stuff.
Anyways, we have zone conference tomorrow and our zone
is meeting with non other than the Houston North 1 zone which was my old
zone!!! I am so excited to see everyone down in Melbourne again. even
though it's only been like 2 weeks, it feels like forever. It will be so
great. Plus Zone conference is always great regardless, and this is our
last one with President Pingree before him and his family go home.
Seriously the saddest thing of my life. I know that the new mission
President will be great, but I will always consider President Pingree to
be my mission president. I guess we'll see though on July 1st.
Anyways, I love you all and I hope that you have a
great week. Search the scriptures, ponder and pray and watch the
mysteries of the Lord unfold to you! See ya!
-Love, Sister Williams
