| Reunited with Sister Wahlen |
Talking about getting my school stuff figured out kind of
felt like someone stabbed me in the heart.
I am now in The Woodlands! I cover two wards, the 1st
and 2nd ward. The super crazy news of the week.....Sister Wahlen is my
companion again! It is kind of poetic. She became my companion when
I had been out 6 weeks, and now we are companions again for her last 6 weeks.
I will be sad to see her go, but I am happy to be with her again.
We email at a library here and I only have an hour, so if my email is
rushed, that's why!

| Moving Day |
So my week in review. Monday was a sad day for Sister
Goodrich and I. We both had to pack and clean out the apartment. We
were pretty sure elders were coming in (they did), so we had to make it look
like we took care of our apartment and our car. We spent the day cleaning
and saying goodbye to our favorite people, then Camille came home with us to
help Sister Goodrich pack. She had a lot of stuff. I wrote a note
for the new set of missionaries so they would know the basics of the Katy 4th
ward.

Tuesday was transfer day. We made the long trek to the
mission office and waited to find out where we were going. I was able to
see Sister Davis, and that was pretty nice. When I saw I was being
transferred to Sister Whalen's area, I did a little freak out happy dance.
Sister Goodrich got transferred to my district, so I was really happy
that I would still be able to see her often. I also saw Sister Canfield
and all the sisters who served in Parkway were there, so we took a big group
picture. It was pretty awesome.

| Missionaries in The Woodlands |
The Woodlands is great. As
the name suggests, it has lots of trees. Tons of trees. All of the
buildings are hidden by trees!!! It is crazy! There are actually
hills too. It is not flat and houses everywhere I look. There are
shopping centers and hills and houses and trees everywhere! It is very
different from the other areas I have served. There are also elders
serving in the same wards I am, Elder Steed and Elder Fa'amusili. Elder
Fa'a served in my district in Katy, so it was nice to see him again.
The rest of the week we saw investigators (we have
investigators) and every other evening or so we sit outside our church building
with a sign and ask people if they want to take a tour of our church. It
is pretty fun and we get to talk to lots of people! I have been bit by
more bugs this week than my entire mission. I have now started using bug spray.
Since we cover two wards, we go to both wards for church, so six hours of
church, plus another hour in between, and another hour for meetings in the
morning. So we were at church for about 8 hours yesterday, and I loved
it!! I love going to two church blocks! It is awesome! And
since it was fast Sunday, none of the lessons overlapped, even better.
Oh, and Tuesday as I was leaving Katy, I caught a cold. I thought
it was allergies at first, but it is still here, so I have had a cold. I
am much better now though, just a little congested and a cough.
I am so happy to be here! I love it already! I
am looking forward to my time here in The Woodlands!
