January 8, 2018

Hi, everyone!


I'll just start off with thank you for all of the emails this week. I adore all of you and hearing from you is one of my favorite parts of the week. I'm sorry that I'm unable to reply to all of you individually - if I had just one more half hour, I would!! But anyway, thank you for all of your kind and uplifting thoughts, and the details from everyday life. I love it love it love it!!

So this week has been good. I can't really remember much (mission brain), but one of the main things was that we did exchanges this week! Our Sister Training Leader, Sister Fanga'iuiha, came to the area with me and Sister Snow went to Kimberly with Sister Rapp (who came out with me!). Sister Fanga-iuiha is from Honolulu, Hawaii, and she is just an amazing sister missionary. She's hilarious and she's not scared of anything! It was awesome to be able to learn from her, and we had such an amazing day. We did a little service in the morning, visits in the afternoon, then we did an hour of tracting right before dinner. I was really nervous because 1) I haven't done a ton of tracting thus far, and 2) we don't usually tract here because the YSA1st ward is a) huge and b) across all other missionaries' areas. But we decided to do it anyway, and we found a family that was SO ready for the gospel, and a man that had previously been meeting with the missionaries. They both agreed to meet with the missionaries that are over their area. What a miracle! 

That's the main thing from this week, other than trying to sort out new move ins, outs, etc. with the new semester starting back up. It's so fun to work in the YSA - it's always changing!

Anyway, I love you all! I hope y'all have an amazing week!
Sister Carlson
