So
news about transfers besides what you already know. I have a new
companion named Sister Pike who is from St. George. She came out the
same time Sister Schmutz did. Oh and we are the sister training leaders
for the New Orleans North and South Zones. Which entails we are to see
how each of the companionship are doing, and taking care of the needs
that the zone and district leaders can't, which means we go on exchanges
a lot....actually every week because we have six companionships we are
over.
It has also been a long week, because I am use to having someone
who knows the area a bit more. But it's OK I have had to help a sister
get to know this area once before. Also it was freezing Friday. I think
the highest I saw it while in the car was 33 degrees, and tomorrow is
suppose to be even colder. President sent us an email telling the entire
mission that tomorrow will be a no car day. Which means we will have to
walk or bike and we will need to stay close to our apartments. We may
even have to postpone district meeting.
It is funny you don't know how much you appreciate the car until
you have a no car day and/or President takes away your car and gives it
to another set of missionaries in your district (didn't happen to us but
it did happen to the elders. President knows that we need a car and
that is a rant that I will save for later.).
Also news that I was happy to hear at transfers, with some back
ground to help you understand why I am happy about this. As you may or
may not know the missions in the south are told not to wear boots
(unless the mission president allows it), well at transfers Sister Wall
announced that we could! The requirements for them are: not rain boots,
not booties so mid calf or higher, leather or look like it, and only
brown or black. With the possibility of snow tomorrow I am most
definitely going to go find me some boots...because we all know that I
love my boots and that flats in the snow are a bad idea for me (just
call me grace).
In summary this week I have had to learn how to do this new
leadership assignment, while helping my companion get to know the area
along with dealing with the cold and trying to keep warm. Well if freeze
it is going in my journal! Not like I haven't pretty much froze before,
but this one will be an entirely new experience, freezing in the humid
cold.
Well I think that's all for this weeks letter. Hope all is well
with y'all (one day you will get those recipes but that day is not
today)
Love,
Sister Brady
