What a week. Monday and tuesday we said goodbye to people and packed and had to get the area book and apt ready for the elders. OH man was that not fun. I will just say on tuesday night we where up really late. Wed not a fun day had to get up early and load our car with both of our stuff (it barley fit) and drive to st. louis. It is not fun carrying your suitcases up and down stairs! Then I had to say goodbye to sister Minyard. Man am I going to miss her! I am so grateful I got to be companions with her. Well I am in my new area. My new area is Sandy Creek. It is kinda in the hillsboro area. But I live in Arnold ( that is is not in my area, yes we live outside about 10 mins outside of our area). My companion is Sister Webb she is awesome! So Sister Webb was trained by Sister Minyard (my mom) so I am with my sister. So we share a ward (yes a ward this time not a branch) with elders. It is different sharing a ward with other missionaries. The elders are Elder Spencer (our district leader) and Elder Johnson. So Sister Webb, Elder Spencer and Elder Johnson where all in this area last transfer so they know the ward, area and each other so it is different sometimes because I kinda feel like the outsider sometimes. But I am getting to know all of them better. The ward is pretty big and there are a ton of people I have meet but I have now idea who is who. I am just trying to remember all of them and get to know the area. The Bishop Bishop Shirk is great we had dinner at there house on Thursday night. He is just chill and laid back but is so willing to help us in anything we need. He is kinda young to he is only 34 and he said I think they chose the most least spiritual person to be bishop. I think he is great. Sandy Creek is half big city half country. It is so pretty and green here. It is a upper middle class area. We don't have many people that we are teaching so we are trying to find find find. So the way we are trying to find is by asking everyone for referrals and tracting. We are tracting a lot. The area is very hilly so we are walking up and downs hills all day long. But I am excited to see what Heavenly Father has in store for me in this area.
Oh my heck guess what I saw last night tracting. Lighting bus aka firer flies! And sister Webb even caught one. They are so cool!!
Oh ya totally forgot to tell you that last monday sister minyard and I climbed to the highest point in missouri. I am not a big fan of highest but I did it just for sister minyard.
