Hello All
So. Transfers. I know y'all are way excited to hear about it. Here's what happened. I'm not training, but I think that worked out for the better. Well... It definitely did. I have an INCREDIBLE new companion who's name is Sis Costley and she's from Phoenix, AR. The only way I can describe her is if you took me and Randi, and put us together. Then you'd get Sis Costley. Basically that means she's the coolest person ever and loves to do just as many random things that I like to do. Man.. We've already decided that we're going to tear it up this transfer and it's gonna be the best one ever. We're an awesome team. And we've only been together since Wednesday. hahaha... I found out that she' lived in Calgary for a the Winter semester of '07. Which means that she moved out of Calgary around the time I moved to Banff. We missed eachother by only a few days! She can't remember what the name of her Single's ward was, but she said it was in the Calgary West Stake... Which was my Banff Stake. haha.. Small world. She lived there to do an internship with Global news to finish off her Broadcasting degree from BYU-Idaho. Pretty cool man... She lived with "Joe Sports" and his family. Since I'm not from Calgary though, I have no idea who Joe Sports is. All I know is that he was the Sports broadcaster for Global and he died around the time she was living there...sad.. But yeah.. Such crazy connections!!!
Also... Sister Costley was transferred here from Germantown, TN so I had to wait 8 hours at the mission office for her to get to Arkansas... It was a long wait.. But Sis Davis was waiting with me because her companion came from Tennessee too. So Sis Davis and I had 8 hours to catch up! haha. It was great!!! She's been serving in Cabot for the last 7 months so she was updating me on all the stuff that's happened there. She told me something that really meant a lot to me. Remember the Kassner family that I was teaching there?? Well... Basically when we were teaching them, the told us that they weren't interested and they had joined another Church... Then Cabot was closed and I was transferred to Maumelle, and I find out later that the whole Kassner family got baptized! So I was really excited about that, but still kinda frustrated because I was bitter about my experience in Cabot... But Sis Davis told me something I never knew. That day that the Kassner family told us they weren't interested, Sis Blake and I were heartbroken and cried on their couch... But I guess Bro Kassner tells everyone that if it hadn't have been for us reacting that way, they never would have understood the importance of the gospel. So that was what got them to really be serious about it later on. So now here they are in Cabot, prolly one of the most missionary minded families ever, and Sis Kassner is pregnant again!!! WOOT!!! By the time the baby is born, they will have already gone to the temple to be sealed so this family will be born under the covenant. So awesome.. So I learned that my time in Cabot really wasn't a waste. I did some good.
So. That's the exciting news of the week. Things here in Hot Springs are going really well. We have a lot of work to do. Seriously.. This place has done a complete turn around and with Sis Costley and I together, we're only gonna make it better. haha... I'm loving the missionary life right now. This is incredible. The Church really is true and I'm happy!!! WOOT!!!!!!!
Keep it real eh. haha...
