Are you ready to party?!

 July 12, 2021

Good morning!

This week has been CRAZY! Not only did we have transfers but I was thrown into the fire called training. 

Turns out...training is not as bad as I thought. I haven't stress cried which is a win!! It's probably because my companion is a DREAM!!

Everyone meet Sister DeGroot (yes like Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy). She is from the Ogden Utah area. She loves music and coloring. She also has a gorgeous singing voice. Like wow. She is a party and a half, and I am, too. That means we make up 3 whole parties!! 

It was hard to say goodbye to Sister Brown. I did have a come apart the night before transfers, but we are strolling now. They announced Sister DeGroot as my new companion and we were on our way.

We were walking home from church and we passed this house. Sister Brown and I have passed this house a gazillion times...no sign of life. Yesterday, I was like, should we take a different route to church. I said nah and stuck with our original way. We passed this house and this lady walks out. We had the best conversation with her. We had so much in common it blew my mind! Her name is Jennifer (that makes 3 Jennifers we are in contact with). We hope to meet with her again. 

Sister Brown and I dug trenches for a guy named Thomas. Remember him? Well, Sister DG and I went to his house because we were in the neighborhood. We talked to him for an hour. We tried sharing a message several times, but he just kept going. This made me think. He is huge into physics and engineering. I know nothing about either of those. He kept going and didn't stop to clarify or anything. As a missionary, you constantly stop, clarify, and ask questions. If you just lecture them, they are going to pretend they know what you are talking about. That was my "ah-ha" moment this week. That's why this week I am really working on asking questions and defining words. 

I have the best opportunity in the world. Not only am I training, but I get to teach the people of White Rock.

As senior companion, I get to drive. Proud to say I haven't gotten any violations or check your speeds *high 5 to me* 

Remember God loves you 

I love you I love you I love you

This is the way

Sister Brown and I with Sister Thompson. She's the best.
