I have to start this letter with an apology. I have been absolutely terrible at writing these past three weeks. If I am being completely honest, nothing happened the last three weeks haha. Nothing happened until transfers came. I found out last Monday that I would be leaving highland village to serve in Roanoke and Trophy Club. I was sad to say goodbye to the people in highland village. But I am excited and grateful to be serving here in Roanoke.
Monday and Tuesday were spent saying goodbye to families in the ward. It was interesting. I thought it would be hard to leave but it's nice to know that I will see them again. Many have asked if I am going back. I know the answer.
Wednesday was absolutely crazy. After finishing up final packing touches we went to transfers. I spent about 2 hours waiting for my new companion. Her name is sister booth. She is from west Jordan and she is absolutely fantastic. I have never laughed so hard with anyone. She is awesome. The first day was spent going over area book, calling investigators, recent converts, and making appointments with everyone. It was crazy. It was awesome. While we were planning, we received three phone calls concerning referrals. Three different referrals in 10 minutes. It was crazy! I have never seen that before. We have solid appointments with all of them tomorrow. Pray that all will go well:)
Basically all that we have done this week is clean, sort through people, and try to learn the names of 900 new members. It's been a challenge but it's been a good challenge.
Sunday we had the opportunity of speaking in both of our wards. Little did we know that it was going to rain in 28 degree weather right before church. Everything was completely iced over. Church had to be cancelled for safety. Luckily our later ward didn't cancel and we were able to attend all of the meetings and give our talks. It went well. We are being welcomed here. We spent all day at church. Literally 8 in the morning until 4 at night. We came home and went straight to our dinner appointment. We had dinner, and then we went to a meeting with our ward mission leader. It was a relaxed meeting to get to know him and his family. He is from Uruguay and has a sick accent. We absolutely love him.
Well, I'm sorry this week wasn't a great letter but we have been running since 6 this morning. I will talk to y'all later. Love you!!!
Love,
Sister Gray
