Hola.
I hope all is well for y'all, and I hope you are getting
everything your heart desires.
This week was soooo long but short at the same time.
Transfer week is always that way, I think. So Tuesday I said goodbye to sister
Memmott, she went to Redding! My new companion came. Her name is sister
Andersen, and she is from Gilbert, Arizona. She is one of seven siblings and
she likes musicals and movies a lot. She also quotes spongebob all the time.
It's wonderful. She has been out 4 1/2 months.
So far we have had a lot of fun this week, and I have
seriously loved being sister andersens companion. We get along great, and I've
already scared her a few times. It's been wonderful.
We went tracting a little this week when we saw this
really weird house completely decked out with art and signs telling us to come
in.
So of course we knock. This hippie guy named Norm let us
in, and his entire house was covered in paintings he did himself. the first
thing he said was "are you here to make me vote?" Then he saw our
nametags and he said "oh you are, you're making me vote for Jesus!"
And then proceeded to tell us that he lives his life according to his emotions.
So if his emotions tell him to kill someone, he will do
it. Ok Norm.
Let us know how that works out for you when you are
serving a life sentence in prison.
We were driving to Durham one evening when a train came
up behind us going like 50 mph. I decided to match the speed of the train, and
we tried to catch the eye of the conductor and wave to him. It didn't work, but
we beat the train and it was fun.
We also got to pet a wolf, which was amazing because wolves
are my favorite animals, next to hedgehogs. The things you do on missions.
Anyways, we had a good time teaching this week! We were
able to contact a lot of people that haven't seen the missionaries in a while.
One instance was really neato, I was driving along a
neighborhood and I suddenly got the impression to go see this less active lady
we have been trying to contact forever. We pull up to her house and knock on
her door, and lo and behold she is home. We talked to her and set up a return
appointment for next week. Follow the spirit people, it knows what it's doing.
We are teaching these two kids named Mobeen and Rameen.
Mobeen is 13 and Rameen is 11. They are adopted, and when the adoption papers
go through, they can be baptized, yay! Please pray their adoption goes through
successfully, I love them both and want to see them get baptized before I
leave. I love teaching kids so much.
There's this deli/hotdog place called Zotts that gives
lunch for free to missionaries. We went there this week with some elders, and
that was fun. I will never get free food again like this on my mission, so I am
taking advantage of it.
Also we are officially in the ward choir for Christmas.
That's gonna be fun.
I've really come to appreciate the sacrament. When I take
the sacrament now, I truly see it as a sacred ordinance that helps me repent.
It makes me feel clean when I take it, and I love that time where I think about
the atonement and how I can make my coming week better. Sacrament meeting has
become one of my favorite things to do in my life.
I love you all! 11 weeks to go. Gosh this is going by
fast.
Love,
Sister Ginn
