Hello Everyone.....
I don't know why people want to be senior companion ever..... I would be perfectly happy to be jr. companion my whole mission.
It gets dark really early here, and when it gets dark EVERYONE goes to sleep.... We have been having a hard time coming up with things to do. Last night we had to go to our 5th plan.... just for a one hour time period. haha.... I'm trying to keep a smile on my face!
So we had 3 "warm" days last week. It was in the 50's while the sun was out. that was nice! We were able to work with out our coats on in the day light (we still had 2 long sleeve shirts on and a sweater, but no coat) :P
On Tuesday, Elder Walker from the 1st q. of the 70 came to our zone conference. It was so good!!!! Sadly, I didn't get a picture with him. :( But I got to meet a general authority, and hug his wife. haha. I also got to see Sister Nelson, my trainer there. That is the first time I have seen her since my 6th week in the mission. It was so fun!!!! And it is her last transfer, so I was glad that I did get to see her.
So I have an update on our miracle from last week. Well the man who called the church saying he wants to learn more, is the same person that was behind the very first door I knocked on in Plymouth. It took almost 8 weeks for anything to happen, but because we gave him a card, he had a way to contact us. We will be teaching him this week!!! It's so cool. Most people that you meet and give a card to, you never hear from again, but he called!!!! HOW COOL!!!!! I was super excited!!
On Friday my ankle started hurting again. So I called the mission doctor, and he told me some things to do, and so we will see if it helps. Why did I have to fall down the stairs back in May???? haha.
We had another miracle this week. We have been wanting to get involved with the college some how. Well On Friday at our branch thanksgiving dinner a member came up to us and said that a former member of the church called him. She works for the college, and they want info about the church. We have been playing phone tag with the lady all weekend, but we are going to have an "in" at the school!!! We were very excited about that.
So one funny story. Remember when Cory was on his mission, and his car fell into a big muddy puddle, and there is a picture of him in his gym shorts and white shirt/tie by the car..... Well yesterday we had a similar experience. We went to park on the side of the road, and all of a sudden the car starts sinking. Immediately I go back to drive and try to get out. The car kept sinking in more, and sliding around like we were on ice. After a few minutes, I was able to get the car out. If not, we would have had a big problem. Two sisters (one with a hurt foot), with their car stuck in mud, in the middle of no where. Needless to say, our car needs a mega car wash today. haha. It went way deep down into the mud. It was kind of scary at first, but fun too! We also saw two big moose on the side of the road yesterday while driving. I tried to get some pictures, but they were starting to walk away by the time we pulled over, and got the camera out. But I was excited to see a moose!!!
Well my 8 month mark is this week.... CRAZY!!!! I think that means I need lots of letters (my mail box has been pretty dry the last 2 weeks.....) :P
Although I don't always understand what my companion is saying to me, and vice versa, we are making it work, and laughing a lot. :)
Well I love you all, and hope everything is going great!!!
Love, Sister Rankin
