Hello family! I'm writing to people in Germany, Denmark, Colorado, and Utah. Wow! Greta, I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying Germany. What an amazing trip. Too bad you missed 4th of July in AMERICA!!! haha!
We had a visitor at church who is a nuclear engineer. He said that Grand Junction is the most radioactive city in America and that like a billion dollars have been spent cleaning it up! Have you ever heard that? That explains the hand growing out of my side....!
I hope you all know how much I love you! I enjoyed getting a lot mail this week and a package from Stake temple day. There were so many cute pictures from little kids and some great letters from friends inside, also tons of food.
I received a phone call Saturday night informing me that I would be transferred. I don't know where until tomorrow morning at transfer meeting. I spent today packing and tie shopping with Elder Graham. We had a great day today. It is sad leaving Brunswick, but exciting to see a new area. Bring it on! We stopped by the Hutchesons (from GJ) yesterday and said goodbye. Sunshine (Irwin's cousin) was sad to see me go, but I gave her your information so she can stop by if she ever goes to GJ. Luckily, I will be able to keep in contact with all these people. I can shoot them texts or call them every once in a while. Go State-side missions!
I had a really unique opportunity on Wednesday. Because E. Pelo left home last Sunday, I went with E. Graham to Zone Leader Council. What a choice experience. I learned so much and had a good rejuvenation from it. Pres. and Sister Barry are so loving! They can talk to me for only ten seconds, but they leave me feeling like they have known and loved me for my whole life. I am happy to have them has my Step-parents for these two years. I am in good hands. The feast after the council was arguably the best part. Elder Baker has a brother who just moved to GJ. I wish I could remember his name... I'll ask him tomorrow.
We had an amazing miracle after Zone Council. We were instructed to contact every investigator every day. Following that, we stopped by Joe. We knew he had work, but we did anyway. Turns out his girlfriend Tiffany was on the phone with her sister, who's little baby had just died. It was touching as we shared Alma 40 and Moroni 8 with them. Tiffany LOVED Alma 40. Everytime we meet with them, she says, "ALMA 40!". Her brother was killed at 15 and she'd had a dream they he came to her and said he was in peace. Least to say, she loved Alma 40. What a miracle.
It was hard to say goodbye to Sister Watson. She was sad to hear I am leaving, but it is ok because we can still keep in touch. She is so sweet! She had the biggest smile on her face on Sunday. She even stayed afterwards to watch the baptism of a kid. She's remarkable and I love her so much. One of my best decisions was going to Goodwill last Monday. I was so happy to see a GW here in Brunswick! There, I bought 3 shirts (a yellow one for Valdosta State. On the back is a nuclear explosion, "Kaboom" and it says the "November Nukes." Another shirt has a wolf on it. The last shirt is a St. Simon's Bball league shirt. They are my keep sakes of an area that I love so much.) I was tempted with buying a shirt that had a running horse and the words "Italian Stallion." I love thrift stores. The mission budget only makes that love grow bigger.
Welp family and friends, so long from Brunswick, Ga. Have an amazing Fourth of July!
