Specialized Training. We do it differently that most missions because of how spread out the mission is so President and Sister Salisbury come because otherwise they would never get to see us and so its like a mini zone conference but its really amazing! But this is a funny story... once upon a time Sister Rowley is really bad at conducting music and the zone leaders, knowing this, picked her to conduct the music and they would not let her out of it. but then once the meeting started the zone leaders were nice and didnt say who was conducting and so I just got up and did it for her. It was probably the funniest thing to see the zone leaders try to get Sister Rowley to do it. They are hilarious elders. But other than that, it was amazing. President always knows what I need to hear and so it just was perfect! I loved it and learned so much! I cant wait to spend the next 16 months (almost 15 
) here!!!!!
OH YEAH! I FORGOT!! so me and Sister Rowley went up to Sister Salisbury and asked how we ride bikes with skirts and so she just snapped at President and he came over and we asked him how and he said... well we dont want you looking silly so why dont you just go get new ones and the mission will pay for it. Our jaws dropped. We were like NO WAY. and so we went and got girl bikes! President spent so much money just on us to get new bikes! We just wanted to know how to ride our bikes in skirts and he bought us whole new bikes! WE ARE SO LOVED! And we are now the only Biking sisters in the mission! I love that I get to start my mission in the most unique spot in the mission. I am one lucky sister. :)
Transfers are coming up in two weeks and everyone thinks im gonna train... so pray for me. haha :P
I found a street named Autumn Splendor, so of course I took a picture next to it!
We rode around on our bikes for a grand total of over 10 miles the past couple days. Im getting pretty healthy out here! :P
OUR MIRACLE(S)!
this week we met Mark, we accidentally go on the wrong bus and so we just decided to hop off and go knock some doors and we knocked on Marks! Hes super cool! hes from mainland china and hes super interested! Super quiet but really awesome!
Saturday was super hard because all the YSA members were at a devotional at SVU with Elder Rasband and there was a football game here so we had no motivation to do anything but we actually got a lot done and we got to see the Corps kids march to the game so that was crazy! and then we ate at Buffalo Wild Wings and a member from the blacksburg family ward came in and said hi to us then got her food and walked out and then the waiter came up to us and told us that she had paid for our meal. It was such a motivator in that moment that that was why we are out here. AND THEN THE BLESSINGS CAME from when we worked hard even though we didnt feel like it! We had four investigators at church!! FOUR! Can you believe that? We started out with nothing here and now we have four investigators at church. This area though it seemed like nothing could happen, has just grown so much and Im so happy to be here! I LOVE IT HERE!
And also me and sister rowley have friends in the ward! We've been having a hard time connecting with members and so we felt like we really needed to do member lessons and as we've been doing them the more members want to feed us and get to know us and man the blessings are real! I am so grateful for the loving guidance of my heavenly father, he knows our weaknesses here and he's been making them strong.
well, theres so much to tell and not enough time and my fingers cant go fast enough.
But I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! Thanks for being my support and family! :)
