Hey everybody!
First, I can't believe we're finally redoing the floors! It looks so different! So excited to see it all done!
So
this week was bomb. Today we went to the mall again with sis Edwards
and sis liou! Haha we were leaving the apartment and I realized I forgot
my jacket, but everybody kept reassuring me that the sun would come out
and it would be nice and warm and sunny. HA. HAHA. So we got to the
city around 8:30. About 35 degrees. Super, super cloudy. No sun. Crazy
wind. Walking around i was almost in tears I was so miserably cold. I
ended up buying another hoodie cuz I was actually dying lol. Eventually
the sun came out around 11:30, so hooray! Anyways, we saw the
Washington, Lincoln, Korean War, FDR, Martin Luther and Jefferson! Super
packed but it was way fun! I LOVE the city. The architecture here is
incredible! You're all coming to get me so I can show you cuz pictures
do SQUAT. OH, so this transfer they opened the city to sisters! There
are 4 sisters serving there now I think! Praying I get to go there
sometime in the next 17 months haha. I guess they don't sleep because
there are sirens going all night lol. WOOP WOOP.
So
this week! We've had so many meetings and stuff, agh! But we've decided
to start fresh in the area. The sister here before was in the area for 8
months and got stuck in a rut, so we don't have anybody progressing. So
we're starting from scratch and I'm super pumped! We have one
investigator (Shelley) that we're keeping. He agreed to be baptized last
week, but doesn't want to set a date until after he comes to church. He
was supposed to come yesterday but never showed up... *heartbreak*.
Working on him!
Last
night we had "Why I Believe", which was amazing! Basically, all the
missionaries bring their investigators and recent converts, and the
recent converts bear their testimonies! We also have a main speaker,
which was Senator Orin Hatch (senator pro temp), SO GOOD! It was such an
incredible night. Everything is done by the recent converts so it's
super powerful. We brought Miss Gene, who we ran into the other day
checking on people! She loved it! We gave her a BoM and she's really
excited to read it! She's such a sweet little lady! Excited for her!
Oh,
and I got the best surprise of my life when ANNIE LAMBERT SHOWED UP AT
THE VC. I just about cried I was so excited! ANNIE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
AHHH.
And Charity sent me the cutest card! I loved it so much! I love you
charity! We got to go do baptisms and initiatory with all the sisters
on Tuesday, and it was so cool. I did work for 2 sisters and UGH I MISS
YOU. So pumped to go through with you when we get back!
I love you all so much! I guess my funny captions and text on my pics last week for deleted when it sent, but my address is
Sister Emily R Wilson
9759 Good Luck Rd #7
