I HIT MY YEAR MARK THIS THURSDAY?!?! WHAT THE WHAT? six months left people. SIX MONTHS.
I got up early Thursday morning to head to the Roanoke Stake Center for transfers. We left for Charleston at 6 in the morning. I sat in the front of the van with Papa Vaassen (? I dont know how to spell his name), absolutely terrified. Ha. Sounds like me right? We finally pulled up to the Charleston building. I got out and said hello to a few missionaries I knew. I saw the new sisters and decided to go talk to them when one of them ran up to me and yelled SISTER SCHOEMIG! Now I am just so confused at this point. But I remembered that I had called a sister in the past transfer (and she was from Highland Utah, I told her to look up me and my little bro in the yearbook), she introduced herself as Sister Lambert and that she had looked me up in the yearbook and when she saw me she knew exactly who I was and had to say hello! She also looked up Chandler and said that she sat next to him in their Financial Lit class but that he probably wouldn't remember her. I told her that my little brother is the best kid in the entire world and that he probably would remember her! :) So that was pretty #sicktight. President and Sister Salisbury got there and came up to me and welcomed me to Charleston. I was teasing President, haha, I told him President, I FINALLY made it to West Virginia. Haha, It was so good!! I said goodbye to some missionaries that I have gotten really close to. that was hard. BUT its okay, I realize that we are all called to specific areas for specific people and it was time for all of us to go our separate ways. I will see them all again real soon. :) I saw Sister Sorenson and gave her a hug, grabbed my stuff, discovered that someone put a departing sticker on my bag (haha real funny), and we were off!
Let's just say the Sister Training Leader life in Charleston is VERY different than in Roanoke. We host the new missionaries and the departing missionaries. So we are in charge of laundry basically. Haha. BUT ITS SO FUN. I got to host Sister Campbell and Sister Mortensen before they went home, it was weird to be sitting there and watching these sisters and be thinking this is you in six months. Its seriously gone by so so fast.
I've met so many people here. I am just a bit overwhelmed but its okay! I'll get the swing of it! I've met Brother Cupit, Brother Casdorf, Sister Jarvis, Sister New, Sister Mullens, Sister Payne, Sister Gordon and so many other people! They are all just awesome and I can't wait to get to know them more and help them!
Saturday was like HOT HOT HOT. Lot's of appointments fell through on us so we did a lot of tracting. #fun
Me and Sister Sorenson did some comp bonding over a game called Bean Boozlled. It was nasty. Look it up. But dont get it. Haha!
Lots happening here in Charleston. It's weird having President and Sister Salisbury live in your area and go to your ward and having the mission office in your area as well. But its pretty cool I guess. ;)
West Virginia is definitely different than Virginia. I miss Virginia a lot. That place is LITERALLY home. But West Virginia is definitely growing on me.
Anyways, I'm loving Charleston so much and I can't wait for the miracles that we will see here!!!
I LOVE YOU ALL TO THE MOON AND BACK!
Love, Sister Schoemig
