Thursday was an early morning, but I said goodbye to Sister Harris, jumped on the transfer train, and made my way to Portsmouth, Ohio! My new companion is Sister Roesengren (her name is not German, it is Swedish). She is so sweet and very dedicated to the people here. I sent an introduction video of her to y'all so check it out :) I can tell we are gonna have good times together.
We are teaching a lot of less actives and part member families, a long with just families in general. About half the people here live in trailers, which is a gold mine of 'salt-of-the-earth' people and just tracting in general. Everyone here is so excited for halloween, and most porches are decorated. A few are even so decked out I refuse to walk past a butcher with knives, even if he is made of plastic. I emailed president about what we should do on Halloween, and I'll let y'all know next week what our October 31st looks like :)
We have a Walmart here, with is so happy, but of course, modest skits and blouses are in short supply. *Eyeroll* Oh well.... We have a car and it's been so weird to drive! Out car is blue, so I am extra happy!! We plan of finding something fun to do and shopping and playing in the torrential cloudburst outside (yes it is finally rainininiininininiininining!!!
WE have district meetings in Ashland, KY, about an hour drive away, so we get members to drive us to save on miles and gas. The members here are super nice. They are not yet involved with missionary work, but I plan on changing that, hehehe. I gave a mini talk in church yesterday, more of an introduction of myself really. Our ward should really be a branch, only about 25-30 people attend. We have 300+ members, but most are inactive. We'll fix that ;)
That's 'bout it. I'll talk to y'all next week!!!!!!!!! P.S. Please write me, my address is beneath my name, it only takes a stamp!
