This was a great week, much different then what i am typically used to.
The new calling i have has made things a little different, but things are going so well!
So first off my new companion's name is SIster Davis, im not sure if i told you guys that last week, but she is AWESOME! this is her last transfer and i have already learned so much form her. She is an incredible missionary and im way excited to work with her more.
At the beginning of the week almost nothing got done. As Sister Training leaders, we are in charge of looking out for nad going on exchanges with & companionships. So one Tuesday and Wednesday most of our time was taken up with visiting/meeting all of our sisters and with training meetings, which made for very little work getting done. But it was really fun to visit with so many sisters.
On Friday we had a church tour with lance! We have been trying for weeks to get him to come to church, and we finally got him to the building! he didnt come to church, but it was still a HUGE step for him! The tour was great, we showed him all the rooms and explained what happens at church, and talked about a few of the pictures in the building. We ended in the Chapel though and when we went in you could feel the spirit SO strong. Sister Davis explained the sacrament and then i asked Lance how he felt (he was extremely nervous about coming to church) and he just sat and thought about it for a minute and said, "i feel really good. Very peaceful." It was such a good experience :)
On saturday i went on my first Exchange! i went with sister Higbee, the sister i stayed with when we were waiting for our greenies. We had a ton of fun. We spent almost the whole day just street contacting and tracting and it was a blast! We meet a few people who just wanted to yell at us, which stunk, but it made for funny stories. Over all we had a ton of fun.
Yesterday was good. I woke up pretty sick though. I had a fever and a cold and an ear ache and a bunch of other stuff. But me and sister Daivs decided to go out and knock doors anyways, and its was awesome! we set up tons of return appointments. I love the super Bowl, because everyone was home and you could hear them yelling inside so they couldnt hide! At one house this lady answered the door and we asked for her son daniel. She assumed we were his friends from work, and grabbed my hand an pulled me into the house. Then thier 3 HUGE dogs jumped on us and were licking al over us haha it was hilarious. Then we talked for a minute and then asked my name and i siad "uhh sister redd...im actually a missionary, i dont really know your son, were just looking for him because he requested a book of mormon a while back" She was taken so off gaurd it was awesome! but she was still really nice :)
Over all it was a pretty good week minus the being sick.
I love and miss you all!
Sister Redd
