This new transfer has started out so wonderful!!!! My new companion Sister Thongrit is such a sweet person!!! We work so well together and we always make each other laugh!!
Tuesday was transfer day and I had to say good-bye to my dear sweet Sister Smullin.... she is going to be going to the Los Angeles mission. Then I got Sister Thongrit and we hit it off right of the bat!! Her favorite color is purple and she is the youngest of three!! Just like me!!
Wednesday we went to a Mission Leadership Conference.... the last one ever to be held in the San Fernando Mission.... The main topic was focusing on the good things that we have done instead of the mistakes that we have made. We want to make sure that we are focusing on the every day miracles the we see!! Because Heavenly Father's hand is in everything that we do!! Since Sister Thongrit and I are the sister training leaders for two zones we get to go to two Zone leadership counsel meetings!!! We had one with the Valencia elders which was so cool to see how two different zones work and how we can take the good things from each zone to help build them all up.
Thursday we had district meeting and Sister Thongrit and I got to do a get to know you game with our district! President and Sister Henrie came too! The game was taking a jelly bean out of a bag and then answering a question for the color that you got! We made president tell us all a joke.... probably the best training I ever got to do! When we were knocking doors we found Ceaser!!! We taught him the restoration gave him a Book of Mormon and then he invited us to come back and teach him more!!! We went and visited the Grupman family and shared a missionary message with them. Sister Grupman is such a sweetheart and make us a bunch of healthy snacks to eat!! We had dinner at Sister La Rous house. She is the cutest little old lady. She told us all about her cute husband who has passed away and then she made us homemade cookies.... what a wonderful lady!! We had a scripture study with Shawn, Paula and Davin!! Paula and Davin have decided that they want to learn more!!! We are so excited to start teaching them!!!
Friday was a super busy day!! We visited Sister Valencia and talked a lot about the importance of families. Then we had ward correlation with Brother Moutrie. We went to Brother and Sister Burgess's house to read scriptures with them. Then we knocked doors!! We found four people!! Aaron, Erlinda, Joanna and Deanna!!! They were all so excited to learn more and happily invited us to come back!! Then we had a pass-off lesson with the Spanish elders River and Christensen..... only problem was there was no parking so we had to run a few blocks and jump a rock wall to get to the appointment on time!! We started teaching Olivia and Kayla because of the elders!!! They asked a ton of awesome questions and can not wait to learn more!!
Saturday we stopped by a lot of ward members so Sister Thongrit could get to know them better. Then we had dinner at the Lamersons!!! Aiden and London begged us to play games with them. Then they made some adorable videos on my phone!! Londan was asking her mom questions about repentance so we watched the kids' atonement video and talked about the power of prayer. We went to the Kelly's for a scripture study and we finally got to meet Brother Kelly's wife!!! We talked about the power of scriptures!
Sunday we went to both of our wards and Jennifer came to church with us!! We had a dinner party with her and her family at the Mansfields...... it is so cool to see how much the ward loves Jennifer. Sister Mansfield and her daughter Lindsey told me I was going to get married five months after I get back from my mission!! I am so not amused!!
I love you all!!
Love Sister Howard!!!
