Hello everybody!! This week has been all over the place and FULL of change!
On Monday it was Sister Hamblin's very last p-day so we had a district activity and went to Buffalo Wild Wings and played spike ball afterward. With it being transfers week we were insanely busy trying to pack because sister Hamblin was going home and I found out I was getting transferred as well. PLUS with both of us leaving they had to bluewash Tiffin which just means they put Elders there instead of sisters so we had to clean the apartment really well. On Tuesday morning, the mission president called us and told me I was getting transferred to Lapeer, Michigan to be an STL (sister training leader). I literally went from the very bottom of the mission in Tiffin to the very top. We basically just help out the sisters in our zone. It's been a weird past few days because with being in a new area I don't know anybody or anything so I feel like I'm back in training haha!
My companion's name is Sister Jorgensen. She's been out for about 15 months so she goes home at the end of February and I think I'm going to be her last companion.
Lapeer is the more country part of Michigan but it still has some city too so best of both worlds. The apartment is DEFINITELY an upgrade from the Tiffin apartment lolol. Don't get me wrong Tiffin will always have a special place in my heart but it is nice to have a better apartment.
Anyway, a highlight from the week is on Saturday night we were walking around a small town around Lapeer and they were having their parade of lights. We talked to a few people but it was soooo cold that I could barely focus. We decided to go to this lady's house who is a non-active member and she let us in and made us really good hot chocolate. Her friend was there too and they asked us to pray for them so we did and we shared a scripture. It went pretty well. As we were leaving, I saw that she had a hand towel with Elvis Presley on it so I said I liked it. She said, "Well if you like that you should come to see my Elvis room!!" I was kind of confused but we went anyway and that's exactly what it was!! It was AMAZING!! We definitely bonded over that lolol.
A little miracle from the week was one night we were knocking on doors but didn't really know what to do. We started driving to go visit someone when Sister Jorgensen flipped the car around and said we have to go knock on this house we passed. We knocked on it and got rejected. I then felt like we should knock on the house across the street and we also got rejected. We felt kind of stupid and confused as to why we felt to knock on those houses. We got back in the car and started driving away and then we got a referral that someone wanted a missionary visit!! How cool is that! It definitely made me feel that God is aware of us and our efforts. And I promise all of you that that's true! I know sometimes it can feel like God has forgotten you and believe me I've felt that too but he is so aware of you and loves you so much!!
Anyway, I love you all so much and I hope you have an amazing week! Stay warm!
Trust in the Lord
Love,
Sister Welch
