I love these sisters! I don't know what I was worried about being in a trio, I had heard trios were more challenging but, I love it! So far it's been a great experience and my companions have already been in one so they ken the trick of the trade of getting ready on time and working together efficiently. The first lesson we taught together was the law of chastity so that's a bonding moment! haha... I've learned a lot already from Sis Skagen and Sis Turner already.
(mom here: it is sister McBrides halfway mark on Sept 3rd and I sent her two packages. mainly because I was watching the weight and I didn't want it to go over so I sent two packages.) I got your packages mom! I loved it I did open one....hehe... but I will save the one for my hump-day.
I know it's been weird
realizing that this is my last time having these months on my mission.
This is known as the 'black hole year' because not all sisters get and
entire year from January to December. I feel like an Elder anyway with 4
Skype calls and missing two Christmases!! But it's ok :) It doesn't
bother me as much as it used to.
So last week was super crazy we had a ridiculous moves day. So when we get
transferred Monday we e-mail and that's it. Tuesday is normal and
Wednesday is p-day until 6pm. So basically we had a party! Sister Reed
left early in the morning for her train to Alloa and Sister Norin came to be my
companion so it was us Sister Skagen and Jackson from Kirkclady, Sister
Hinck and Milsoe from the neighboring district with Sister Buhler from
Aberdeen. Sister Norin, jackson and Buhler had to wait for their
companions who were coming in on the 8:50 train that night so we spent
the whole day together! We went to a chippy place called Rockpool and
then got permission to go to St. Andrews! It was really fun. I've seen
all of it before but it was good. And I had to direct everyone becasue I was
the only one who knew where we were going! haha but it was great. Our
companions train was late though and it came in at half 9 instead so we
had 5 sisters in our flat for the night because it was too late for them
to get the next train home! so it was an adventure!
Also our
investigator Dmitry has a chance to come to church! We asked him to pray
about an opportunity to come to church and it turns out the shop he
works at is closing and going somewhere else and he is no longer
employed! He was happy cuz he was too busy for 3 jobs anyway! So
hopefully in a month he will come to church!
This week has been up really great. We are having a lot fun together and I just figured out a new way to remember all the points of the 3 main lessons this morning! Sister Turner is very soft spoken and sweet and hasn't been ill very much she had migraines the past 3 months but she got vitamin supplements that have been really helping, though she gets them every once in a while. Sister Skagen is a hoot though. She keeps things interesting! haha she's also a very good missionary but has been a bit ill as well, so we had a fun adventure to Edinburgh last Wednesday. We took the elders car! Long story short their GPS sounds like a Jamacian man that Moos at you when you go over the speed limit haha. It was great fun.
We
went to Edinburgh for a devotional that you can bring your less
actives/recent converts to and it's at the mission home once every
month. This one was a musical one and our recent convert of 18 who has
been less active for a while came a long and she really loved it! She
said she felt the Spirit and is so excited about the gospel again. I
love it when peoples hearts are open and they allow the Spirit to speak
to them and guide them.
got to run love you all!!

Here are some pictures she sent of their moves day with the sisters.
Saying good bye to Sister Reed.
Sister Skagen and I'm not sure of the other sisters.I believe that sister Norin might be on the end.
Not sure but I know sister Jackson is on the end black hair.
Sister McBride and sister Skagen
sister McBride, ? and sister Hink?
Saying good bye to Sister Reed.
These are sweet women that take such good care of the sisters. Sister Diane and sister Hazel those are the first names I think I put on here that sometimes they call Hazelgranny but sister McBride says they call her Hazel and not granny. But I know they help out a lot when the sisters need it. Such great members.
