Hey yall!!
These past few days have been crazy and a rollarcoaster.
lets take it day at a time
THURSDAY
I got to my new area! JOPLIN! I've always wanted to see Joplin. It's a mix of city and country I think. I like it, but it is COLD! I thought I was ready for the winter but nope, nope, nope. Plus we are a
walking/biking area, luckily there is a trolley! woot woot
Our mission boundaries are changing. We are giving three
zones/stakes to the Oklahoma City Mission. Therefore right now we are combining
with Carl Junction area and a sister there. Her companion is in Oklahoma
showing the OKC missionaries the area, a bunch of missionaries are doing that, so until the new year we are in a trio, and grateful Carl Junction does have a car! so no walking or trolley just yet:) thank goodness.
We have a bigger Christmas tree then the one in Centerton so
that's a plus and we just decorated it the other day.
FRIDAY
We had our ward christmas party! I was so thankful because I was able to meet many people in the ward, they also asked if any of the sisters
could play piano. I said I could. and I played Picture a Christmas for the
primary kids:) they said they might need me in primary on Sundays to play.
There's not many piano players here, and if they are, they have other callings.
Our ward is small. I told them I would be happy to of course:)
SATURDAY!
We had breakfast from our 1st investigator, J...... She is from
Bulgaria (Crazy, right Mikee!) and she is so selfless and loves to serve and
children. Definitely prepared for the gospel but timing is not now. she loves
us but wont read the Book of Mormon because she is scared to. We tried to
console her and address her concerns, but she made it very clear that when she
is ready to read it, she will call us. so...she dropped us (meaning we will no
longer be teaching her, and now we have no investigators but that's okay! Because a fresh start is always good and we can focus on the
members!
Saturday got a huge ice storm, and we were given council to
stay inside, so lots of studies that day and getting to know my 2 new
companions! Sis Bisch and Sister Stirling. Sister Bisch is my companion for
Joplin. Sister Stirling is waiting for her companion.
SUNDAY!
Due to the ice storm Church was canceled. More studies, then
when the roads cleared up we went out and saw members! woot woot
and today is monday.
So ya, nothing too exciting yet but we had powerful member
lessons and I'm looking forward to be serving in this part of the vineyard!!
Christmas is this weekend!
Keep Christ at the Center!
love
SISTER POLLARD
