It's been a while since I emailed y'all. It's been a busy few weeks. So welcome to week four!
I am in the mission field! What?!
My first area is Brunswick, GA. Definitely the deep south. The accents here are thick and great. I've decided to come home with one, so be prepared folks.
Let me give you a brief overview of what has happened over the past few weeks.
- We rang in the new year in the MTC at 10pm. And then went to bed.
- We had a devotional where they opened a time capsule from 2000.
- My roommates and I (not my comp, she refused to be associated) slung shot a bunch of things across our room. Even a donut:)
- We said goodbye to everyone in our district, I wasn't sad until until i had to say goodbye to my roommates, sister Bluth and sister Ehlers.
- Sister Downey had never flown before so I had to show her the ropes. And inform her that airport food sucks.
- We met our mission president and his wife. They are so nice. Then we had the best meal, so southern, but very delicious. One of the members made it for all of us 18 new missionaries.
- We stayed the night at the mission home. The mission home was not what I expected. It's just an actual home, not huge, but it's still fit all of us.
- We all got to draw a square on the table cloth. I drew palm trees.
- I met my companion on Wednesday, sister Clark. She's awesome so far. She says I'm very healthy, so I guess I have to keep that up. Not sure how well that will work, haha. She's from Boise and goes home really soon. So I'm probably her last companion. We don't have much in common, but God put us together for a reason. I have a lot to learn from her.
- We're white washing, meaning that we're both brand new to the area. That's not fun. Luckily yesterday was Sunday so we got to meet the members.
- Our apartment smells like weed. Maybe getting high. Lots of headaches.
- We've done a lot of service this week. We went to a farm and brushed and feed some horses and pigs. And helped a family move.
- We can hear everything the people do in the apartment above us.
- Our ward has both Elders and Sisters.
- The members are all older, but they're all great. But nobody's really signed up to feed us.
- We've been given a lot of referrals so far.
- Our area is huge, so basically our miles are shot.
- Elder Bednar is coming to speak to us on Saturday.
It's been a hard week, but it can only get better. I appreciate all your prayers and cheer-leading for me. I love and miss you all!
If you want my address you can email me. I hope you all have a wonderful week!
Sister Bailey
