HI!
I survived the
jungle!! The weather is much, much cooler this week! It's kinda nice, but I
don't like being cold. I guess I can't have it all, eh? ;)
I have been a very busy Sister this week! Although, I feel like none of
it has been anything really towards finding investigators :( But it's all
things that HAD to be done... It's an eternal internal battle. Oh, well. It's
been a good week though!
Friday I was in meetings all day (from 10 to 4)! Then Saturday we had to
do weekly planning and we had Visitors Center shift. Then Sunday we had church and
other meetings, then spent like 3 hours talking to people out on the streets!
That was cool. It's always fun to meet people. Monday we had zone
training, some time to practice for Night of Music and Inspiration (I'm singing
again... I don't know why people ask me to sing. I don't sing! But oh well.
Sister Jorgensen is singing with me so it's fine, I guess.) Then 3 lessons with
less active members of our ward. Tuesday we had full studies and Visitors Center shift. And between that, I got pulled into a trainers meeting at the Visitors Center. (My
poor companions have to put up with me.)
And then today we had another private tour of the Capitol, but this time
with Jocelyn! It was the best tour ever :) I don't want her to go back to Idaho
:( Also, President Cooke's daughters (Carolyn and Elizabeth) came to the city
with us! They are so cool! I love them so much!

But unfortunately, that was our week. We don't have any investigators
still :( I'm really ready to start teaching again! But I guess Heavenly Father
wants me to learn patience this transfer. Patience, and the ability to rely on
my Savior and just to place everything in His hands. I literally can't do this
alone, so He's going to be the reason I survive this transfer. Well, Him, and
my companions. I love them so much!! I have the best companions in the world!
We get along so well and laugh all the time. We've filled 3 (almost 3 1/2)
pages in our quote notebook already :) They make this drought so much more
bearable! I'm so grateful for them! I just wish they had investigators to
teach...
So, I've gotten some
questions about exchanges! I would love to tell you about them! I go on 8ish
exchanges per transfer. They are whenever I schedule them to be, so they don't
all happen at once. We (as Visitors Center trainers) go on exchanges with the sisters so we
can help with transfers. On exchanges, we find out what the sister we're with
could need for the next transfer, then we can bring that to the meeting where
we put new companionship's together! It's kind of cool, but very hectic and a little
intimidating to me. But, the Lord knows what He's doing, right? I still love
working with President and Sister Cooke! They are great! I talk to them so much
more than I ever thought I would. They have put so much trust in me it's kind
of scary! But since I'm a Visitors Center trainer I see him all the time. He's new, I'm new
and so we're both trying to figure some things out together. It's cool. Plus,
he is SO concerned with all of his missionaries happiness and well-being! It's
adorable! He has me call him once a week just to tell him how I'm doing.
Thoughtful, eh?
Oh, by the way,
mail is back to normal. Just a fluke :) No worries!
Anyway, this is a
really boring email. I'm sorry. Just know that I love you and miss you and I
love the work I'm doing (or trying to do). The Lord is so aware of us, it's
amazing! Hopefully I'll have more to report on next week! Thank you for your
love and support :) I'll see you sooner than you think! (Weird.)
Love, Sister Bullock
