This has been an amazing week! I am a little
bummed that it is already February but it's okay. Monday was my last day with
Sister Johnson and we celebrated by going to the mall. I bought a few
things and I even got orange juice. They have these new machines that make
freshly squeezed orange juice right in front of your face at the mall. It was 3
bucks... but totally worth it. I was sad to say goodbye to Sister Johnson. It
is crazy how much you truly grow to love your companions and you do become the
best of friends.
On Tuesday we spent most of the day at the
mission office for transfers and I was assigned my companion- AKA MY BEST
FRIEND. Her name is Sister Melanie Washburn from Orem, UT. She is the youngest
of 6 kids and is superrr cute. She has bunnies and loves horses... don't
worry I'm not just using her for the horses or her clothes. She is an amazing
teacher and is ready to work, work, work. She is weird like me so we get along
great. :)
On Wednesday we had district meeting! We have
a whole new district because they split some areas in half. It was nice getting
to know some new missionaries. We had dinner that night with the Peterson's...
Sister Washburn's first dinner appointment... AND IT WAS CRAZY. Sister Peterson
was laughing and took a bite of meat all the sudden she got up from her
chair and started dancing and jumping around. Then finally made the choking
sign so we knew what was going on. LUCKILY (a huge miracle) she had family
there and they did the heimlich. I am so grateful it all turned out okay.
Scared me half to the death... I had no clue what to do... I was in shock and
literally sat there the whole time. I am awful.
Over the next several days we street
contacted as normal and taught investigators and less actives. We also had lots
of service opportunities this week which was pretty unusual.
Sister Washburn had the opportunity to invite
someone to be baptized this week! Maria is now on date for baptism so that is
three of our brothers and sisters who are taking the invitation to come unto
Christ and follow his example! The spirit was so strong in that lesson and
Sister Washburn is great at testifying and sharing what she knows.
I think that's about all. :) Be ready for an
explosion of pictures! We took quite a few. :) I love you all. Thank you for
all your love and support!
Sister Rodda
