Hey
Everyone!
This week we had Zone
Conference, 'twas great! I got to see a bunch of my friends again, and I got to
see Sister Bird before she goes home next week. I love that girl, she's a
forever friend for sure! I'm so grateful for the mission- for the chance I have
to meet so many awesome people that I never would have otherwise. I have so many
lifelong friends that I met out here :)
Super weird, but this
Zone Conference was my last one, the next one is after I go in January...so I
bore my testimony with the rest of the missionaries going home in the next 3
months. Ah! So creepy. I'm so old lol. I'm not ready for all these
"lasts".
I can honestly say I
absolutely adore the Taggart's. I mean, I always have, but the time I got to
spend around them on Friday at the conference was awesome. They are like my 2nd
parents out here, and I'm real excited for the chance that I have to be friends
with them throughout my life. They mean so much to me!
Also, I love the
Stevenson's in my ward. He's the ward mission leader and she's the relief
society president and they are both AMAZING! He's sarcastic and random, and
she's eclectic and wonderful and together they are the couple I want to be when
I grow up haha! I have a lot of respect for the both of them, and I really look
up to them. They have had a huge impact on me in this area :)
In other news, I just
got back from hiking a mountain! Well, a mountain for NJ...but a hill anywhere
else haha! It's the highest I've been in 15 months #1800. One thing that stinks
is that my asthma kicked in for the first time in a yearish, but it was so
beautiful to feel the wind, the chill, and hear the wind through the trees.
That's my favorite sound in the world, I could listen to it for hours! It was a
spectacular view too, and there were even some trees changing colors, so that
was cool. The colors are super vibrant out here, I love it. I'd take my burning
lungs for that any day ☺️
And funny story: I have
found out there IS such a thing as toooooooo obsessed. I think myself a
very proud geek, but man, i am MILD compared to some people. We met this lady
last night and just started talking to her. We brought it to the gospel and
started talking of Jesus Christ and showed her a video and everything, but she
literally would NOT stop talking about LotR. Now, I love Middle Earth just like
the next guy, and I would even label myself "obsessed"- but yikes...it was
almost scary haha. We added her on FB so we could send her more videos and
awesome links, but ALL I have gotten from her is endless links and pics and LotR
quotes for 24 hours. I never thought I'd say this, but I had to block someone
because they fangirl too hard! I know, I know, I'm one to talk, but I seriously
am astounded by the fact that she's able to send me 25 pics in 2 secs,
with the movie quotes...in English AND in Elvish. Hahahaha help!
The work's been slow
this week, we were able to pick up a new investigator: the husband of a less
active that we're meeting with tomorrow for dinner (yay Hispanic food!) but
that's about all. We've just been finding awkward people that only want to talk
about LotR and not Christ haha
I have faith that this
week will be awesome though! The last week of the transfer usually is
:)
I love you all!
Stay Jersey Strong.
Stay Jersey Strong.
Love, Sister McAllister
