First off, thanks to everybody for the birthday wishes! 21 doesn't feel any different than 20! Woo! In the words of one of the Monmouth members, "Welcome to more adult responsibilities!"
This last week was good! Sister Hartvigsen and I have been working hard to find new people to teach. Over the weekend, we felt prompted to tract an apartment complex in Independence. And guess what?! We found a new investigator! Her name is Olivia. We talked to her outside of her apartment, and she was telling us about how she has so many questions that she can't seem to find the answers to. In my head I was like, "OLIVIA WE HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS!!!!" I had to bite my tongue to keep from fire hosing her with answers and information. Didn't want to scare her away haha. But! We set up an appointment to go back and see her on Tuesday. So yay!
Sad news, Sister Hartvigsen is getting transferred 😠We knew it was coming though, she's been in Monmouth for 7 1/2 months! We don't know where she's going yet, and I don't know who my new companion is yet, but we find out tomorrow at the transfer meeting. Exciting stuff!
Speaking about transfers, you always find out what's happening the Saturday before the Tuesday transfer. If you're just being transferred, you get a call from your district leader, but if you're getting a calling, you get a call from President. So basically, that entire Saturday is just you and your companion flying by the seat of your pants, freaking out about whether or not you'll get a call from President. And any time the phone rings, you immediately drop what you're doing and scramble to answer the phone. It's a very stressful day haha. But anyways, 4 o'clock rolls around on Saturday afternoon and we get a phone call from President Samuelian. But we couldn't answer it because we were in a lesson. So we finished the lesson and tried calling President back, but he didn't answer. So we wait for about another hour for him to call us back and he never does. So we try calling him again and he answers. Here's what he said: "Sisters, I'm so sorry, but I called you on accident." Biggest coincidence of my life that we get butt dialed by the mission president on transfer call day! It was hilarious 😂
Thank you everybody for all of your love and support! Love and miss all of you!
Love,
Sister Hanna
