Oh my goodness. This week has been crazy. I don't have too much to say this week except for... boy oh boy do we have our work cut out. We showed up to our area and we had absolutely no history on anything. We are starting fresh:)
This area is super super crowded and populated. There are lots of cars:)
Saying goodbye to Decatur was bittersweet. I hate leaving the people I love so much. Yet, I know that I did what I needed to do and it was my time to leave. So here is a bunch of sappy pictures saying goodbye.
The first day in Carrollton was pretty crazy. We felt like strangers here and it's an odd feeling. We spent most of the day going through a really long list of white washing guidelines. We met with our leaders and we got a better idea of this area. It turns out that the previous sisters didn't do much here... so we have a lot of work:) we prayed for help and we set goals and made plans. We met with every one in our area book and we found 3 new investigators out of it. All this area really needs is work. It's a fruitful area, it's full of people ready for the gospel.
We found this amazing lady named joy. She listened to us and was excited to learn more. She actually came to church yesterday! She brought her two kids and it was so fun to sit with them. We have a lesson with them today at 5 and I am so excited.
The wards here are good. They aren't too big... yet;) they created the Carrollton Second ward from 3 different wards. So it's just a little baby ward right now. It's filled with really young families. Most of our area is apartment complexes so there are lots of newlyweds with small families. I have never seen so many babies before in my life.
It's weird being in this part of Texas. Dallas is right across the street. We actually live outside of our mission and we go to church outside of our mission as well. The people here are not very friendly and tend to keep to themselves. It's great!
Well... I sure do love y'all. I look forward to writing more next week.
Love,
Sister Gray
