I am FROZEN. It is rotten cold. OK, so its still in the 30s but that is as cold as I want to go. Yesterday we got a whopping 1/2 inch of snow. It hardly stuck to the ground, but it was snow none the less. We were studying, and I looked out the window and had to dart out the front door to run in it.
On Tuesday, after emailing you, Sister Nay started to
feel kinda crummy. Her stomach bothered her and at dinner, she just
sipped her water. We went to our first home that night, and knocked on
the door. The guy walked out, and Sister Nay said, "Excuse me," and she
walked away. "Sister Nay? Sister Nay?" I rescheduled with the man, and walked
around the corner. The poor thing was busy being sick in the dirt and
shrubs...so we canceled everything for the night and went home. I felt
bad that she was so miserable but I was thankful for the opportunity to
catch up on my extremely long to-do list.
On Wednesday we met with Leonard. I taught him in
Shiprock. Actually, he was the very first appointment that I went to on
my first day there. I love Leonard. There is something very special
about his spirit. I feel connected to him on so many levels. When I was
in Shiprock, discovered something cool with him. We would read the Book
of Mormon outside because he was a single man, every single appointment.
He was on probation, and was waiting to be baptized. He is still
waiting, but he is incredible. We sat and read again this week. Whenever
I read with Leonard, the scriptures become alive for me. I feel like I
am transported there and that everything is happening right around me.
It doesn't happen with anyone else, but I love that experience.
On Thursday we had a Zone Training Meeting, which is
pretty much a glorified district meeting where the entire zone is
there. Elder Huff, has been serving in Toadalina for a few transfers,
and has become a good friend. He is an incredible missionary, and is soo
focused and put together. You know he will be a great leader someday.
Well, in this mission there is the tradition of passing down ties from Elder to Elder...In all of my areas, there have been good friends that I
have given ties to...but NO ONE HAS EVER GIVEN ME ONE BACK (I know I'm a
girl, and don't wear them, but Sister Tsosie and Sister Thomas ALWAYS got
ties in return, and I never did)...well, Elder Huff gave me a tie. Hooray. I know its not a big deal for you, but for me that is huge!
The day got better because at lunch, the lady at KFC
(our regular Thursday, post-meeting-food-place) remembered my order! That has never happened to me! I have never been regular enough at a
place for people to remember me. Dang. It was just a good day.
We spent all day Saturday finding new investigators
it was a long day, but very rewarding, At the end of this week, we
found 7 new people to teach, and that is the most I have ever gotten in a
week. Sister Nay may be a pain to live with, but she is the best
tracter and finder I have ever been with.
I love you all! I'm sorry there aren't any photos to send, I don't take many pictures with Sister Nay.
