Hello Parentals!

I loved the emails. They make me laugh. It only took me 14 minutes to read through all my emails! I am getting better!

This transfer is going to be really hard. My companion is hard. Well, I can officially say that I have been called 'selfish' and 'bossy.' Those are not verbs I generally hear. We've had some words....

My first three months went by super fast. Sister S. was amazing and we taught well together. She was caring and generous (though narcoleptic). Training generally lasts for 3 months, so I am counting down. Hopefully only 11 more weeks with Sister R.! Though, President does random things (like having me train after 3 months) so pray for her (or me....preferably her) to get moved....

Well, other than that, I guess things have been going well. We are hoping to extend the baptismal commitment to a few people, but we are working on getting them to church. Last week, no investigators came and President and Sister M. were there.....and they came to the Sunday school class we were teaching....so they saw that I am a bad teacher....haha. Luckily they have patience with me.

For Thanksgiving we are going to the church and having it with the H., J., H., S., anyone else that is related to them....apparently it is a huge deal and I'm excited. I don't know how Sister R. will feel about it, but I'm sure I'll hear about it. :S

I don't take well to people taking over and not knowing what they are doing, but I am trying to be patient. She is here for a reason, as am I and we will make the best of it.

While I was waiting for her and was in Humble I had fun with Sister M. and Sister M.. They are both powerhouses and I was hoping my greenie would be more like all the other missionaries I've served with now, but not so. Hopefully we will learn to work together. Give it time....

Well, I will try to think of more things, but as of now, that's all I got.
