Arlington!

Hello all! 

I'm so sad!!!! I got transferred to an area called Shirlington (named after a street) in Arlington. I felt like I was leaving my child behind (Sister Cole) and it was so sad! I'm also really going to miss the South Riding ward members and friends that we were teaching there but I know they will be in great hands! But I am with Sister Lungren and Sister Livingston and they are great sisters!

Every transfer I usually do something that a little more out of the ordinary than usual. Last transfer it was the shelf collapsing and most of our dishes broke, well this time I didn't break anything but here's what happened this week! So Monday morning I woke up and didn't really want to get up but I did anyways and said my morning prayers then went to sit out on the couch to wait for my companions so that we could exercise. I didn't bring my phone with me because we can't be on it without someone looking at our screen. I sat there for what I thought was about 20 ish minutes then finally got up to check the time because I was irritated my companions weren't up. Turns out it was 5:15AM. I was really irritated then so I went back to bed. Well when we actually got up, Sister Price told me she had woke up because of the lights in the living room. So she got up, noticed I wasn't in bed and came out to find me. I was curled up on the couch and so she looked at the time, saw it was almost 1am in the morning then went back to bed! I was out there for over 4 hours.. Also, we don't even exercise on Mondays so I have no clue where that came from! 

This week we got to serve at House of Mercy which was fun! We worked in the warehouse this time and sorted clothes. 

Our zone is doing a music theme for two weeks so we got to film a short clip for it! It actually took us 4 hours to make the video because of the editing, and also none of us can really sing so we had to add the song on top of us so that people couldn't hear us very well when they watched. 

We got to meet with Grace and Molly! They are the best! We are in the Isaiah chapters right now and they are doing a great job of understanding them! Sometimes there are some harder ones but they are loving it! We also met with Kiran again. He had a lot of questions about baptism that we didn't know the answers too but we explained to him how we do baptism and that actually answered most of his questions! We finally got ahold of our friend Simon in Kenya!! He was so excited to learn about the restoration and asked if the missionaries that are in Kenya could give him a Book of Mormon!! We taught Rose and Ronnie last night and they are doing so well! They love the Book of Mormon and I'm going to miss them so much!

We have done quite a lot on Facebook this week and have start a few conversations which is great! We have had a lot to do in preparing for transfer board to come out because it wrecks us in terms of keeping track of which missionary is in which group so we didn't get a lot of time to find this week sadly. 

Okay I have to unpack but I love and miss you all!
