Hi everyone,
I can hardly believe I'm going to see all of you next week--wow! Nothing has really sunk in, though, and things are going along mostly as normal here in Kirtland.
So, I was transferred to Mayfield. It is another Cleveland suburb, west of Kirtland and north of Solon. It's a great area! All city, lots of Jewish and black people, and only about 15 minutes from Kirtland. It feels a lot like Solon.
My companions are Sister Scott, from Joplin, Missouri, and Sister Denison, from South Jordan, Utah. They are both great, but it is weird being here and knowing I am leaving in just a few days. I'm trying to work as hard as I can, but I think triple-ups are just slow and cumbersome by nature. I feel a little bit like I'm trying to run, but I have weights attached to my ankles... Oh well, we have found one new person since I've been here, and I'm pretty excited about that! Her name is Latoya and we have a lesson scheduled with her on Friday.
Last week turned out to be a little traumatic with everyone else going home, but yesterday we had our sites training meeting, and it was a really great time to refocus on the work. Have any of you seen the Mormon message, "What shall I give?" They just produced it, and it is taken from President Monson's Christmas devotional talk. It is so lovely!
I've also been calling lots of Spanish referrals from sites--I feel frenzied to get them done before I leave! I'm sure Heavenly Father will help someone else learn how to talk to them, though. I just love Spanish people. Last night there were a few people from Solon at the VC, and I was talking to this one lady who just moved into the ward. I told her how I had been in the ward before they put in Spanish elders, and she said, "Oh yes! We have so many Spanish-speakers in this ward!" Which I loved hearing, because that means more are coming than when I was there! Heavenly Father really does have perfect plans for the missionary work in every area.
I've also been getting ready to sing at the temple this Sunday, and Sister Higbee (one of the senior sisters) has been coaching me a little bit at sites! I love it. :)
Well, I love all of you! I can't wait to see you next week!
Love,
Katherine
