Well on Tuesday I left my beloved Boston for my new area Swindon!
Transfers were only slightly traumatic but against all odds I've made
it to Swindon with my bike and all my crap. Navigating trains is
probably my least favourite past time in the world I think now.
I met my new companions Sister Gee and Sister Chenna. Sister Gee is
from Provo Utah and she is incredibly sweet she is in sister James
group so she has only been out for three months. So Swindon is still
her greenie area. She is so funny I don't think I've laughed this much
for a while. Sister Chenna is from Andhara Pradesh ,vishakapatnam
(India) haha she has been out for four months and she is adorable but
funny enough she has a wicked sense of humour like telling sister Gee
she is acting like a drunkard or that she is like a light bulb open
off open off. Oh my days between the two off them I just sit there and
pee my pants haha. Oh also out of the three of us I'm the one with
cooking skills so I've been putting my home making skills to the test
this week but I made curry and I got sister Chenna's stamp of
approval.
So I got to Swindon and we had a Baptism to plan for that Saturday
holy stressful! It wasn't our areas baptism either it was the other
teams but they got there area closed so we were given there
Investigator and four lessons to teach him and a baptism to plan for
him but he is seriously as good as gold such a sweet heart and he
kinda even looks like Santa haha. So sister Gee sister Chenna and I
put on our big girl skirts and planned a baptism in less then a week!
But it went beautifully the only hitch was that the font wouldn't fill
but after we made an ensemble line with buckets we filled that thing
right up!
Guess what else happened this week! I gotta see my mission mom
(trainer) Sister Vousden! She was already planning on coming up to
help her sister move and of course because we are missionary's we were
there helping her move too so it was nice being able to see her and
talk to her after like six months.
So I am no longer in a car and I've been put on a bike again oh my
days it's really sad because when I was a greenie I thought I worked
through the whole aching feet and muscles time of my life but after
being in a car for six months all my missionary muscles have turned to
mush so I'm back to square one which is a bit depressing but hey it
gets made up for by the wicked flat we live in that is only across the
street from Aldi!
Something else that blew my mind this week was the ward here in
Swindon they have a 120 active members it was a bit overwhelming to
see so many people at church! I couldn't believe how many youth and
primary they had as well it was so cool.
Anyway this week should be a bit less high speed now that we don't
have transfers or a baptism.
