So to start off I found out today that I am being transferred and getting a new mom (trainer) which is hard to hear. I love the area I'm in now and my comp is great. On the bright side though?! We're still close. I'm just kind of salty because I have to pack all of my things and move and I've only been here for 6 weeks which is kind of dumb. But I know president is directed by the Lord and I will be a good sport. I sort of had a feeling we'd be separated but I tried to talk myself out of it and ignore the feeling. I am excited to go to a new area. I'm just sad about the whole trainer situation. If I got to choose my second mom I would've picked cute sister Lee( sister Jensen gets her now, so lucky!), but instead I'm with her current companion sister Nail, who I don't know like at all, so everything is changing! And we all know how much I like change
I AM SOOOOOO NERVOUS!!!!
Anyways let's move on and talk about our week! We saw a lot of little miracles and it was amazing! I knew coming out that I wanted to be a missionary and what that entailed but I did not expect to fall so deeply in love with the work or the people this quickly. I WAS BORN TO BE A MISSIONARY
this week went by SUPER FAST so it's a little bit of a blur. But I'll do my best to fill ya in! We found the most elect investigator on Sunday in our apartment complex! It was so good! She said she's been wanting to read the book of Mormon and learn more so we left her with one and got her phone number. She said her daughter was baptized about a year ago so she wanted to learn and see if she should be baptized too! So good!!!! This week I got to see sister Goffs true colors(aka I got yelled at.jk)we did have a crazy experience though! so we went to go see this family that's kind of a ways from us and then when we went to leave we had some technical difficulties... as we got in the car I asked if I needed to back her ( it's required when we reverse) and my comp said no so I got in the car and away we went............. into a ditch. Not just a little ditch either. This thing was at least 2 feet deep, and filled with muddy water. Yup, you guessed it folks, WE GOT STUCK IN THE DITCH. we very quickly learned that we couldn't drive it out forward or backward. So I got out and was trying to figure out what to do. I thought of like when the car dies and you have to push it so we tried to push it out of the ditch, no such luck, we are stuck, chuck we tried everything we could think of and my poor companion was just yelling and didn't know what to do and threw the keys at me and I tried everything she already had and nothing, so we were about to admit defeat and call someone to rescue us ( also I forgot to mention this happened right before our curfew time at 9pm) when the people next door ( who is our members son and his family came over and I was like oh good did you come to help? And they're like yeah we watched you drive into the ditch and get stuck. EMBARRASSING! So the guy tries to push it out ( like we already tried) and he's like yeah it didn't budge I'll be back with the truck. So he went and got the truck, hooked our car up to the chain and pulled us right out. After the stress of the situation was down all I could do was laugh. So crazy! The Lord was definitely watching out for us that night though! Another interesting experience we had was as we were leaving a membsrs home. We went and knocked a door down the street and two teenage girls answered and we were talking to them and my companion was like are you sisters? And the one turns tk the other and says no, this is my brother. But the person was very clearly female. So yeah, i guess (he?) Identifies as a boy. So confusing! we also got to go to chic fil a with our cute STL'S sister Clark and sister hansen ( and it wasn't an intervention this time!) so that was good. I love my mission so much, even if I'm not very good at being a missionary yet!
Fun Facts:
♡my clippy name tag somehow broke in half (so mom I'll probably send it home to you for memories)
♡I am constantly getting poked by those annoying sticker weeds( like kara used to have in her yard, they kind of look like the wild thistles on tinker bell when Vivian has tink rounding them up)
♡The cats here like to live in the sewers drain pipes.
♡Sister Clark sent me a picture of a street sign with both our names, isn't she so cute!? I love her!
♡Kansas sunsets are like nothing else
{{Its a great day to save lives}}
Xoxo, Sister Greenwood
