Hey guys :)
Welp, this letter will
probably be super short. But I do have a few things to update you on. None of
them are of any importance (as usual), but they all make my life a little bit
more fun :)
· Sister J: Ah! My heart misses her greatly, but she is doing so well! For
those of you who were wondering, she went to Bowie! My last area before DC2! I
was so excited for her! And she loves it out there :) I still have 1 VC shift
with her, so that is nice. But she's doing well way out there.
· Sister Naka: Oh, my Japanese princess :) How I love her! She is fantastic!
She's been resting a lot this week, which is good! I want her to get better so
she can return to full work! Even though she's sick, she's so cheerful and just
as funny as ever! I love being companions with my sister! It's so great!
Hopefully she'll be able to come out and work with us soon! Oh! And I'll send
you a video soon of the Naka Jump :) This is something I'll definitely be
teaching my kids some day.
· Sister Merida: Uh, I mean... Sister Robertson! Remember that
one time, our family was driving to San Deigo, and we were stranded in little
nowhere Victorville? And so we went to their mall and watched Brave? well, I
had no idea that when I was watching that movie, I was looking at my future
companion! It's hilarious! Sister R is EXACTLY like Merida. Hilarious. I can't
think of any other way to describe her! I wish I could tell you how much fun I
really have serving with her, but I can't. You'd just have to see it and
experience it to understand! Love her!
· Barlow stuff again: I feel like I talk about the Barlow Center all
the time now, but I really just love all these kids! Last night, they held a
mini "Why I Believe" fireside at the Barlow, and encouraged/invited
so many people to come! There was a pretty good turnout :) And there were 3
wonderful speakers that had great insights! One was a student at GW, one was an
intern living at the Barlow, and the last was a member of the ward that was
baptized years ago. Ah! Just so good! I love being able to learn what
informs someone's beliefs. It's just so cool! And our investigator, Tory, was
able to come :) She really enjoyed it!
· A fake I am not: Some of you have questioned my true love for
staying in this ward. I am here to tell you that I truly love this ward so
much! When I come back and visit my mission, this ward will be the one I visit.
It has become my home ward. I feel like it is my ward! I'm a part of it, and
it's a part of me :) And all the members of the ward I talk to are amazed that
I'm still here, but they tell me that now I can't ever leave. I'm okay with
that! I really, really hope I finish out here. (And now that this is what I
want, Heavenly Father will send me elsewhere. But that's okay, I guess. He
knows better than I do.)
· VC: I love the Visitors' Center. And I love being here ALL the time
:) You get to meet so many different people and here their life stories and
it's just so fantastic! There is nothing better. Truly. My duties as trainer #2
aren't really any different. I just have more responsibilities. And more is
expected of me, which is kind of scary. I still don't feel like I know anything
or how to handle anything. But I'm trying, and Heavenly Father is helping me
out. I have high hopes for this transfer :) I think it will be a good one.
Um... Yeah, I think
that is all of it :) I hope you all have a great week! As always, thank you for
your love and support! I feel so blessed and loved out here. The Lord takes
care of His missionaries, and I know He is taking care of you all, too. Have
faith, be strong, and take courage. With Christ, all things are possible.
Love, Sister Bullock
