This week has been good! I got a new companion! Her name is Sister
Gass and she is from Circleville! I remembered Sadie's first roomates
were from Circleville and if their names are Megan and Marci, Sister
Gass totally knows them. I really like Sister Gass, she reminds me a lot
of Kelcie which is weird but great! She has been out 5 months and is
really nice and a hard worker. I hope I get to end my mission with her.
So Wednesday and Thursday it was snowing like crazy. Even more crazy,
transfers still happened on Wednesday even with bad weather. Luckily I
didn't have to go anywhere. Instead I spent the day in Fayetteville with
another Sister while Sister Gass traveled down here. Then on Thursday
there was like 2 feet of snow outside so we decided to try snow shovel
tracting. We were excited to do it but as we made our way to the car to
get out the shovels we noticed this old lady in our apartment parking
lot which hadn't been plowed trying to get her little Camry our of the
parking spot. She is just spinning her tires and ruining her engine so
we help shovel her out so she's not stuck. We then are gonna head to the
streets but the lady immediately pulls into another snow-filled parking
spot and gets stuck again! So the pattern of us shoveling her out and
her driving into another parking spot continues for 45 minutes! Finally
we shovel out a whole parking spot for her to park in. So she gets into
the spot, the whole lot smells like gas and burning rubber, and then she
gets out and goes back inside. We were like are you kidding me?! why
were you even out here?! so yeah. we are super tired after that but we
didn't even get to leave our house. but there was one person I
remembered meeting and telling her that we would shovel her driveway for
her. so we walk over to her street and she and her husband are out
shoveling! I was so happy my idea worked out! it had to have definitely
been inspiration. So we got to help them shovel and get to know them. it
was great. they still aren't interested in learning but they know us
now and like us! also the husband was so appreciative he gave us each
some money for lunch. Its awesome when the Holy Ghost tells you where to
go.
We also visited a crazy lady this week. She and her mom are in our
area book and we have stopped over and called a bunch and finally we set
up a time to come over. I was so excite to finally be able to meet with
them but it did not turn out as I had hoped. the mom let us in and gave
us gross Chamomile tea and said we could talk to her daughter. The
daughter is nuts! She talks nonstop about random stuff! I think there
must be a mental disability there but I was like nooo dang it! I
wasn't too disappointed because listening to her and talking with her
were very entertaining. I kept it together pretty well but Sister Gass
was dying. So we listen to her for a while and try to share a spiritual
message but then we left, never to return. Then on Saturday we had
a Christmas Caroling blitz. We invited the whole ward to come but it was
only us 3 sets of missionaries and our Ward Mission Leader.
So not a
fantastic turn out but we made the best of it. Our ward mission leader
is awesome. So it was awkward at first because singing randomly while
walking down the street is awkward but we handed out about 15 copies of
the Book of Mormon so it was a success. That night was the ward
Christmas party though so we could have picked a better day for caroling
but oh well. And a couple weeks ago our Ward Mission Leader asked us
and the elders to do a musical number for the party. So after our voices
are worn out form caroling, we have to sing at the party too. it was
decent enough but the only other musical numbers were done by this
amazingly musically talented family so we were showed up real bad but oh
well. except Sister Gass and I also had to do a song in sacrament
meeting the next day! I also caught a cold this week so you can only
imagine how my singing voice has been. Sister Gass was also super
nervous to sing but its over and done with. Also, Paul passed his
baptism interview so he is being baptized this Saturday! So exciting! He
is really ready for this and the changes that will come with it. So
that's the most exciting events of the week...I'm excited for Christmas!
I will give you details about it next week. Hope it snows in Utah! Tell
Kelcie hi for me! I love you all! Keep writing me please!
Love, Sister Quinn Nilsson
