Sister Jones is my favorite! She is so cute and we have a lot of fun together. This week we have been setting up video visits with the members. Our goal was to have 12 power visits and we had 14 set up but sadly we were only able to have 10 actually happen. But that's still pretty good considering we are still working with our friends!
We were able to have an Ultra-Safe-Break which means that we got to pick any day and have a 2-3 hour break and go anywhere in our district. Our district was our zone so that expanded a ton of options. We were sooooo glad! We went to a place called Neabsco Boardwalk and it is so pretty there! We wore warmer clothing because it looked like it was going to be a little cold, anything under 78° is cold to me now, but we ending up dying because it was so hot! I got a nice sunburn that I didn't notice until later that night but it was fun. We also went to Historic Occoquan because it's a cute little town and Sister Jones hasn't been. She loves to take pictures which is good because I forget all the time so we have lots of pictures this week now! We also decided to stop and play the piano because we both play and like to play a lot. So it was a fun break for us, a little strange but much appreciated.
So we have missionaries come in every two weeks so that requires a lot of transfers. Two weeks ago when Sister Jones came, they put two other sisters in as the STLs (sister training leaders). I was not sad because I didn't feel like I could do both. And I didn't like being on the MLC (mission leadership) calls because you are up so late. But because there are so many transfers within a transfer, I am back to being an STL and training. I had two weeks of extra sleep and now it's gone! So we will see how this goes. Sister Jones wasn't happy because she has to join all my meetings hahaha. But I told her it was good practice for when she becomes an STL!
We've had a hard time getting a hold of any of our friends this week so that has been a little strange but we are teaching someone new, Georgina, and she is so sweet. We gave her a conditional baptismal invite on the second lesson we had with her and hopefully we can meet with her tonight to see how she is doing!
We have a friend, Brother Anthony who has been missing church a lot so we called a member and got him set up to listen yesterday! He was so excited and tickled to be able to listen. We have a few people that want to join the ward services but due to lack of technology or just the general know-how, we call 2-4 people at a time and put them on a group call so that they can listen to the services. It's tiring but so worth it because they are so happy that they can join.
We went to the Lake Ridge Marina today and it was way fun. And as most of you know, I LOVE ice cream, and so does Sister Jones! So we stopped and got ice cream. We also went for a little hike. Little being like 1.5 miles so it wasn't very long but it was pretty!
I am loving my mission even though we are quarantined, it is so worth it to be here and see how close people grow to Christ!
I think that about sums up our week. Sorry for the zillion pictures!
Love Sister Creager
