I am being transferred to The St. John's River ward this week! My new
companion will be Sister Gillman. It is a higher class area, from what
I know so far. St. Augustine has been great and I have so many great
memories here and have met so many great people. But I'm excited for a
fresh start. This ward is just barely north of st. Augustine, still in
the same county. So I'm sure we'll still run into some deaf people.
A highlight from this past week was going to the Orlando temple! It
was great to spend the day with my MTC companion and catch up with
her. It was fun going out of the mission! Haha. The Orlando temple was
a lot bigger than I thought it would be and was beautiful. Lots of
blues and purples on the stained glass windows. It was good to get a
battery recharge for my soul. We were driving back into the mission
boundaries after this day in paradise, and it felt like we were
driving back into the war zone to fight for good, and for me, to do so
for 7 more months.
Another highlight was Mothers Day! Getting to watch Hyrum's video chat
and then talking with the family in China for a bit! I
loved seeing the view from your window with all the green trees and
then the big lake! It was also fun to see Alison and Robert and
Abigail!
We did a lot of service again this week. We also had some good lessons
with Carol and Mary who came to church this past Sunday and are
progressing towards their baptismal date.
My wrists have been pretty sore this week from signing and playing
piano/organ. Gonna work on some hand stretches!
Here are some pictures from the temple!
