First
off, we got transfer announcements this morning. Sister Jones has been
called to be a Sister Training Leader (not surprised, she'll do
great... but I'll miss her like crazy!), and I will be spending another
transfer in the Pateros area. My new companion is Sister Doucette, who I
briefly met once at the Mission Office and seems like a sweetheart.
She went to the same school as my cousin Chase... crazy how people end
up being connected here... I've run into two elders who went to Cedar
High with me... but I had no clue who they were. Their names are Elder
Roy and Elder Robertson. Anyways... I'm excited to have another
transfer here, and that I don't have to leave my first ward right before
the Christmas season!
Last Tuesday we had our Christmas conference. It was so much fun!!
Every zone had to perform a skit and a musical number. Our zone was
pretty average in both areas, but some zones had obviously spent hours
if not days working on their skits, I swear!! It was super fun to watch
everyone perform. I walked up to the floor where the party was being
held and almost bumped into Sister Alailima. It was so great to see
her!!! I kinda screamed and I think I scared her. :) We talked quite a
bit during the conference and she is doing very well. :) I also saw
several other members of my MTC district there which was as great as
always. :) Not going to lie, the highlight of the Christmas conference
was definitely watching a movie... that's right, a real movie, not just
"The District" or "The Restoration". :) We watched "Arthur Christmas"
which was a super cute animated movie and was fun because I've never
seen it before. Watching it kind of left us all on "movie-withdrawal"
for the next few days, but we got over it. :)
Sister Jones and I have continued to be blessed in our work! We
had to drop a few investigators for one reason or another, but have been
so blessed to find really strong potential investigators over the last
few weeks as well! We've specifically been praying to find
investigators around our age and families and have been blessed to find
both! I wouldn't be surprised if we have several baptisms coming up in
the next few months. :)
I'm so excited for Christmas!!! Not that will be doing
much of anything really crazy fun, but still... it's Christmas, right?
AND I get to skype with my family!!! AAHHHH!! I'm so excited to get
to talk with them face-to-face (well, sort of face-to-face).
Merry Christmas to you all! Until next week!
Lots of love, Sister Dickison
