Dear Family,
This week has
been crazy! Saying goodbye to everyone was so hard, but wonderful at the
same time because I was able to see how much Billings effected me as a
person and how much I grew and learned there. I will miss it dearly.
The Rimrock Ward holds a special place in my heart :)
Bozeman is wonderful!!!! I arrived on Wednesday morning and I
was on exchange till sister Harwood got here. Oh my goodness she is the
cutest thing ever! We are always just laughing and having fun, but even
better than that she is so focused and loves the work. I am so so so
excited for this companionship. We both have talked a lot about how much
we are so excited to be here and how we both just felt a confirmation
of coming to this area right away. We both know it is the right place
for us and the right companionship. There is a lot of work to be done.
We could not get our area book downloaded till Thursday evening. The
area book was not working and even then I was the only one to get it on
my Ipad until the next day when Sister Harwood finally got it also. We
had no idea where we were driving, luckily some other sisters let us use
their GPS. We did not get left the best notes...but luckily we found
out the notes were sent to our emails, so I finally got them today
hahaha. The ward is so different then what I was used to in Billings
haha. It is a big family ward and there are wonderful people, but
Bozeman is a college town, so I keep seeing all the YSA and I
automatically just try to talk to them it's really funny. Today is the
first Sunny day since I got here, it is so so pretty, I think it is the
pretties place I have served. It is beautiful. There are mountains! :)
yea!
So we have been trying to track down all of the
investigators and less actives, however our area is the out skirts of
town, so it is huge and takes forever to find people, it's an adventure.
Most of our investigators we are starting to learn are not really
investigators...there is a lot of work to do here. The sisters were
wonderful that were here though and the ward loves them and is always
talking about them. We have not really found anyone yet, we met a recent
convert and an investigator, but no one else seems to be home haha, so
we are knocking on lots of less active and investigators doors. Our
Bishop is wonderful I am very excited to work with him, as well as our
ward mission leader! Brother Mathson, he is on top of it! It is really
cool there are so many converts here, we will be talking and find out
that they joined the church a couple years ago! It is super awesome!
We cover the Big Sky Branch also. Big Sky is a huge ski
resort town and so many visitors all the time because it is a vacation
spot. The Branch president told us he and his wife are the only active
members, there are 25 or 24 on the list, but they all have p.o. boxes so
we can't find them. The branch always has people there because of the
visitors, but none of the people who/s records are there actually come.
So we have .....a lot...of work to do! But I am super excited! We want
to find some investigators out there. Big sky is so so so pretty, I wish
I took pics but it was poring while we were there. It is in the middle
of the mountains and there are trees everywhere, 'amazing.
Well I really do not have time to write, But I love you so
much :) have a wonderful week :) oh my new address is: 2307 West Main
