Dear family and friends,
My apologies for not writing yous last week. I can explain. Last Thursday Sister Dere and I got a call from President Maxwell telling us that he needed to move me, even though it is only half way through the transfer. I was pretty sad to leave Griffith, but ready to move on at the same time. They had a situation down here where they needed to get a sister who can drive, so President decided to transfer me. That weekend I said all my last goodbyes to everyone in Griffith, and then Monday right after I finally got to Skype my family we drove down to Shepparton where we were having our zone p-day to meet my new companion.
So my new companion is Sister Delim. She came out the same transfer as Sister Tuhod and Sister Dere, she is from the Phillippines, she is 23 and only 4' 11'', and she's a total crack up! We've only been together for a week now, but it already feels like we've been best friends for ages. I love it! :)
Our area is Glenroy, right next to the Melbourne airport. And NO they did not move me here because I am almost going home! I still have over six months. That's ages! :)
Glenroy is a fun area so far! The ward is about half Samoan, half palagi (pronounced bahlangee) so I'm happy that I still get to be around islanders. Legit I feel weird now visiting members that aren't islander. I just feel so comfortable around them now.
We have the option of walking, biking, training, or taking the car. It's pretty great! This week we even rode our bikes for a day because we were staying close, but I must say it is a VERY difficult task to accomplish in a skirt! I think the whole day I was pedalling really slow holding the handlebars with one hand and trying to keep my skirt down with the other haha! But it was still a fun experience. Glenroy is also great because there are heaps of suburbs that we cover that we can go tracting, and there's also a few really great shopping areas/train stations that we can GQ.
We have a few investigators that we are working with at the moment, but not heaps. I think the biggest downside of being in Glenroy is that people are always really busy with work or school or family. Our most progressing investigator at the moment is Stephanie. She is Sri Lankan and from a part member family. We were able to stop by and see her briefly this week and answer some questions she had about the Great Apostasy. We are trying to prepare her for baptism on June 27, so we are hoping that everything will work out for that.
That's about all the change/news for this week. Love yous heaps and I hope you have an amazing week! The gospel is true!!!
