Another killer week in the books. Let's start with transfer doctrine. I'm staying in Charleston with Sister Sorenson for six more weeks! :) Super pumped about that. I just love her and I LOVE Charleston. For the sisters in the zone...Sister Jarman is training a new sister, Sister Thor is staying in Cross Lanes and she is training a new sister, and Sister Condie is doubling into Teays Valley and is training a new sister! And my MTC companion? Sister Stettler. She's basically the best and she's going to be doubling into a place named Vinton (in the Roanoke zone) and she'll be training a new sister as well! The sisters I came out with are SO AMAZING and I look up to each of them so much.
My week:
Tuesday: We went on exchanges with Cross Lanes. I was with Sister Thorsteinson this time! :) she is absolutely adorable! I LOVE HER. We had an amazing exchange and I learned a lot from her and we saw so many miracles happen. We got to do some service for one of their investigators. She was moving and so we helped her move some things around. We moved one of her dressers and the drawers werent going back in. So that was great. It took us like twenty minutes but we figured it out! Well... Sister Thor did! :) It was a really cool exchange for me to be on with her, to be able to share some things that have impacted me a lot and to have the spirit guide me so much during that exchange. It was truly an exchange I will ALWAYS remember.
Wednesday: We ended exchanges, had district meeting, and saw some investigators and recent converts namely; Sister Payne, Brother Cupit, the Mouls, and Sister Jarvis.
Thursday: We got to do some service for a recent convert, Sarah Morgan, and her dad. We went into their basement and basically threw everything away. IT WAS AWESOME. I had so much fun. We weekly planned, and then went to Stake Coordination. We had dinner at the Atkinsons and then we saw Sister New. It was a good day!!
Friday: We did some finding but we also wanted to get to know our area better, so we decided to go down this one road that we'd never been down. Well, West Virginia roads dont really let you turn around so we just decided to keep going till we got to a good spot to turn around, it took a while.So that was really fun. we decided to pull off at a place we could and knock the one house around. No one answered. :(
Saturday: THIRTEEN MONTHS. Can you EVEN believe that i have been out thirteen months? Do you know how LONG THAT IS?!?! I'm in shock. Everyone needs to start praying that it goes slower these next few months. That would be mucho appreciated. When the zone leaders; Elder Baggett and Elder Watkins called to give us transfer doctrine, they told Sister Sorenson to give the phone to me because she's been known to throw the phone. That was funny. :)
Sunday: We went to church. The zone leaders signed up all the missionaries to sing in church this next sunday so props to them. We met this guy that was Muslim that tried to tell us we didn't know what we believed. So we are going back to see him Saturday. It's gonna be fun. :)
WE SAW AN ALBINO DEER AND AN AUTUMN STREET SIGN. BEST DAY EVER.
Monday: We had our last district meeting with Elder Moser. he is going home so he made a book called "All my companions are dead" So his companion, Elder Krebs, read it to us while he laid on the floor in a dead position. This was a VERY exciting district meeting. We got ready for the sisters to come in this day. We cleaned the house, made some beds, it was altogether very exciting. I never imagined one of my jobs as a missionary would be to make beds. it was great. Sister sorenson was making one of the top bunks and she like did the downward dog over the bed just to make it, i got a pretty good laugh out of it. OHH. ANd you know that squirrel thats been living with us? they finally got someone to come and get it our of our house. #hallelujah
Tuesday: So Elder Schoemig flew out to Seattle! IM SO PROUD OF HIM. I'll include a pic of him. He's like the cutest missionary ever but im not bias or anything. We walked a lot in the sun and it reminded me of the burg a lot and oh how I actually miss being a walk missionary. I never thought I'd say that but I really do. There's something about being a walk missionary that is just so cool. The new sisters came in last night! That was quite an adventure. President Lindhardt, being new, brought them to us really late. They got to us at ten last night and man it was an adventure. :) I was so stressed out that I got a major headache. We texted the assistants and told them "uh... a little late...." and all they texted back was "oops" Nice job assistants. Nice job. Jk, ill cut them some slack. We are all still learning.
We woke them up this morning and they asked me who the boy was up on the wall and I told them it was my little brother and that he got to the Washington Seattle mission just yesteday and Sister Harris was like Wait? is he speaking ASL and i said yup! She told me that she met him! While she was at the travel office she met him and that he told her to look out for me, that i was loving it in West Virginia, and that I was an STL and to tell me that he loved me. She was like he really does love you a lot. <3 She made my day. We went to the museum today. :) pretty fun then we got stuck in traffic because a semi got turned over, that was REAL FUN.
I've almost run over two dogs this week. These random west virginia dogs need to get out of the road!!
Well, I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK!!!
Love, Sister Schoemig
