Uh so i am now in Hunters Creek in Carly Reid's ward - same stake as St. Cloud- Its great!
BUT for the record: My HART will FOREVER be in STC NORTH! Shout Outs to my HOME WARD IN FLORIDA!!!!
(I know i shouldnt pick favorites but if you served there you would feel the same-trust me-there is just something about people with no teeth and no clothes that just gets to you;)) HAHAHA!
Okay so this week I transferred and arrived in Hunters Creek - my Senior Comp, sister Pierce, who came out with me... Ya know I thought I wasnt as prepared as I could have been after training but MY trainer and I learned and became SOO prepared! I got into the area with a very unorganized area book and NO GPS! AHHH! (i realized how much i enjoy and thrive if i am atleast in an organized chaos!keyword:OrGANIZED) And my comp can't drive so she doesnt know where exactly things are....its always an adventure! Ex:
Sister Pierce:'turn right at this street."
me: OK
turn down street
sp: 'oh no no maybe its the next left'
Me: OK.....
Its SOO FUN!
Then first day with her I saw her signing with some other missionaries - then she tells me she is hard of hearing and that i have to learn some sASL.... AH! but cool call me trilingual. She always has to say what because i like to whisper too(hence the subject line) PS i use my spanish like ERRYDAY HERE! My comp makes fun of me because when I speak spanish I use different tones of voices and she laughs because sometimes i sound flirty. Its ridiculous. A little discouraging at times but i told her so now it isnt as bad but comp inventory is always a good time with me;) haha! She is great because she connects VERY well with pre-teens and teenagers. Which is always good. I am trying to think of someone she is like but I cant. so OH WAIT I KNOW! OKay think of the SNL with the kristen wiig character who says "i can grow a beard in 5secs, just kidding just kidding," Thats who she is haha! It is hilarious! But she just loves LOVES LOVES to kid around with literally EVERYONE.
WE saw tons of miracles this week and now are in the process of just figuriing out lessons and what not. I love it! And we talk to SOO MANY PEOPLE IN A DAY! and we are REAL close to the mission office to get packages and stuff and now they are saying we can go eat lunch with them - well they told me that but i am not sure- I love it!
My members are awesome family! My goto family right now are the Orantes! They are the best! And they are always wanting me to improve my spanish! YES! everyone is either latin, or poly or theres like 2 caucasian families in this ward. Its dah best!
Random but some guy I contacted into said he just wanted to be baptized... unfortunately he didnt live in our area so he got referred but still COOL! there is always something wonderful going on!
This week I studied in Alma and It is when he is talking about the Lords work - 29:13-15! It is what is going to happen when my mission buddies and i get into heaven and I get to see everyone that they have brought into the fold! HOW GREAT WILL BE MY JOY! but seriously! I have been praying and thinking about all of my friends that are out and being out has really helped me come to the REAL realization that i have been blessed with wonderful friends who are all out serving missions-doing the exact same thing as me - and that i have their influence and support in what i am doing. And throughout my whole life. I am so excited to see what fruits their labors will bring forth! WE are a peculiar people and this work is hastening even more because of it!
I am so thankful for the wonderful support that i receive from my family and friends! thanks for everything seriously! I would invite you to begin now to prepare any questions or concerns that you would like answered and resolved for general Conference - Because it is a year ago at this time that I entered GC with a question and I received my answer. Look where it took me. As you prayerfully go into General Conference with those questions/concersn, and an open mind and heart, YOU WILL receive an answer. As a representative of Jesus Christ I promise that to you. Your answer may not come the way you planned or for what you planned but it will come. The Lord loves us and wants to help us. All we must do is turn to him and ASK. I know you can receive the same kind of guidance and comfort I have received here in the FOM.
I LOVE YOU ALL!
Peace and an abundance of BLESSINGS
Sister Hart!
