Monday and Tuesday of last week were crazy, Sister Black and I were getting ready for our new companions and we also found out I'd be moving into a new apartment and Sister Black would be staying in our old apartment. So I had to pack stuff up pretty quick.
Then, Tuesday night, the night before transfers at approx 9:55 pm, our Mission President called me and I found out that my companion that'd I was supposed to train, was actually waiting for her Visa to Sweden, and only a few hours before found out her Visa went through so I no longer had a companion. He then did the most awful thing ever.. Made me make a choice on what I wanted to do!
He asked if I wanted to have another Sister who had extended her mission a few weeks to come be with me, and then I could finish the transfer with Sister Black and her companion, or stay with Sister Black, recombine our areas for just this transfer, and train someone together. Eventually I decided to stay with Sister Black, so we are officially still companions! Woohoo!
Wednesday we went to the mission office to pic up our new missionary, and we met Sister La Croix! She is amazing! This is the first time any of us have been in a trio and it's pretty great!
Sister LA Croix is from New Mexico, and is a convert of slightly less than 2 years! She's awesome and we all get along really well. Sister La Croix helps dial down the craziness that is Sister Black and I and is a perfect 3rd part of this trio.
We moved out of our old house because they only wanted missionaries for a year, so now we live in the apartment attached to a member of the Stake Presidency's house. It's really nice! Fits 3 semi comfortably.
So basically everything got changed around on me.. We had to make tons of phone calls and change things around.. But I know Heavenly Father has a plan for me and that I needed this trio to help me learn and grow! (Not gonna say I didn't have a very stressful couple of days haha).
We are teaching a couple people right now, one that I'm excited for is Nancy. She's almost 70 and is catholic, but is actually listening to what we have to say which is awesome.
Last week we invited one of our investigators, Jett, to work on something he could do better to be more Christlike. He said, "I guess I can work on not calling my brother a chumpbag." Oh boys haha. Also, our phone has been having weird things happen to it where random missionary numbers call and hang up after being silent for 11 seconds, so on Monday a number called and I thought it was another one of those so I answered and said "Hello this is Sister Crofts and Sister Mingus!" and.. Someone answered. Our zone leaders to be exact. Haha oh well I was super embarrassed and they were super confused on who Sister Mingus was haha!
Also.. We've started reading the Book of Mormon in 90 days again! I am so excited and love it so much. The Book of Mormon has been such a blessing to me and has given me such strength and inspiration and answers to my prayers! It truly is of God!
I can promise each and every one of you that God loves you! Jesus Christ lives and is with us every step of the way.
This gospel is true!!
Love Always,
Sister Crofts
