Hola Family!
Things are really good here this week! I am still in
Pukekohe but I have a new companion named Sister Isnard. She is half French and
half Tahitian. She is from the little island of Bora Bora off of Tahiti. I was
so comfortable with Sister Holmes that it is taking a little getting used to
and there are A LOT of cultural differences but things are good. I had heard
that the islanders were super laid back and man were they right! I am trying to
be exactly obedient but I am mostly just learning patience for my new companion
who has a very laid back attitude about everything! She was a chef at a resort
in Bora Bora before she came out so I have been eating really good... I even
ate tomatoes! But all our investigators are kind of freaking out! She talks a
lot... not just a lot... like an abnormal amount and her English is kind of
broken so she never makes a whole lot of sense. I am trying to work with her on
listening a little bit but in lessons she mostly just talks about herself, her
culture, her family, her entire life story to everyone we meet! I hardly get a
word in edge wise and when I do she usually cuts me off mid-sentence. It’s
going to be an interesting six weeks! If she is going to talk so much I really
wish she would actually do language study but she thinks her English is perfect
so she mostly dorks off during that time while I study. She also texts and calls
all the people all the time and last night she almost picked a fight with our
Sister Training Leader Sister Bird.
Most the time I figure just do the best I
can and the Lord will make up the rest. And then the other half I try not to
laugh because I just think she is crazy and her French accent is funny.
In other
news Shanti's daughter Kavita and her roommate Jessie have started taking the
Lessons though! I am so excited they seem really interested! Kavita promised to
come to church next week and Jessie took a Book of Mormon. Rose also took her
first Book of Mormon last night! She is so funny because she is like dragging
Oakley back into his own religion I just loveher! Teno seems to be doing ok
this week but she has to move now because her landlord sold their house! We got
a bunch of really awesome referrals this week from the ward! Three lessons
scheduled in member’s homes with their referrals! I am super stoked about it go
Puke 2nd, best members ever!
Other than
that it was kind of a blah week because we had transfers. Sister Holmes had to
say goodbye to everyone on Wednesday, Thursday I was in Papakura waiting for my
new companion and then Friday and Saturday we mostly introduced Sister Isnard
to everyone and had a few lessons. Things are great though learning and growing
everyday just trying to do the Lords work!
Love and
miss you!
Love,
Sister Miggin
