My new companion is Sister Bramall!!!! She just came straight from the
MTC and gets to be trained out in Nac-a-no-where!!!! She is from Orem
Utah and just graduated from high school. She is so ready to work and
learns so fast!!! She has such a positive attitude and reminds me of
my cousin (Melissa Thompson). We got to welcome sister Bramall into
east Texas by passing billboards that say "JESUS" and "REPENT" :)
My STL companion is now in Gilmer instead of being with me, so we talk
on the phone quite a bit to coordinate our efforts. Sister Whittier is
now my STL partner, I went on a great exchange with her last transfer!
She is going to be great! :)
We also got a new car at transfers! We got to swap with some city
sisters, the new car is so much better for east Texas, the old Carola
was fixin to break down out here. Now we have a Ford Fusion.
We went to Dallas twice this week! The first time for transfers, and
then again on Friday for new missionary follow-up training, so we are
exhausted! But, despite all the road trips and thanksgiving, we had a
super productive week!
We had a great southern style thanksgiving!
Usually Sunday's are our hardest day. We call several people, and even
stop by houses to try to get those who promised they would come to
church to come, and we have no success. We sit in sacrament meeting
with heavy hearts. This week we did not have to endure the
disappointment! Jessica (INV), Aujayla (RC), Jaymarian(RC), Laura
Blount (La), Ruth Stahnke (LA), Charity (LA), and Sister Swanson (LA)
all came to church!!!!! We were only missing Don (INV) and Taylor
(INV)!
As we sat squished into the back row of soft seats, for the first time
I was so grateful to feel so claustrophobic!
Love,
Sister Jones
