Hello!!
The deed is done...I killed my missionary mama Sister Shelton this week. WOW! We sent her on the airplane early Wednesday morning. It was definitely sad to say goodbye and I definitely shed some tears. When appointments fall through we always would look to Sister Shelton with "What do we do now?" and then we would go and do. It'll take some adjusting for sure but I know I have been taught well.
We had our last zone meeting on Tuesday which is what I sent pictures of. We had a good transfer as a zone but things change...about every 6 weeks actually.
Sister Sommer and I did really well on our own this week. We taught a lot of lessons and did our best at contacting. We have a lot of great people that we are meeting with but we are having trouble helping them progress. I know one thing I need to improve on is inviting to keep commitments. No investigator will ever progress without keeping commitments. I need to be more direct and let them know that it is very important to keep them.
Update on a few investigators. Zico is doing really well! We are still waiting for him to get the answer he's looking for but he's still going strong. He wasn't feeling well and wasn't at church yesterday. Dougald is doing alright. He was at a dominos tournament this weekend and so he wasn't at church either. I'm still waiting for things to click in Dougald's mind about certain things. Nick who came to church a couple weeks ago is doing pretty good. We helped him paint his shop the other day. He couldn't make it to church because he got called into work. Still working with Ancia! I'm hoping I'll figure out the deeper issue soon. She really is a great woman.
Exciting news I'm going to St. Lucia tomorrow for zone conference! It'll be awesome! I really need a good spiritual uplifting and everyone says zone conference is awesome so I'm excited!
I wish I had more funny stories this week but nothing to crazy has happened! Sister Sommer and I are having a great time together. We deep cleaned our house today...man, I don't think it's ever been done. We both like having a nice clean house.
Lots of members and investigators have invited us for Christmas already so it'll be great. They don't really have any different traditions down here. People love Christmas though! I forget that it's even December. I can't keep track of time. It's hot and beautiful everyday! I can't WAIT to talk to you in a couple weeks. Crazy! Time is flying by but at the same time I feel like I still have a long way to go, which I do. You don't realize how much you have changed until you really look back. I can't imagine what I'll be like at the end. Probably be like Stephen.
I hope Mimi is doing alright! I'll pray for her. I loved all the pictures! I miss everyone so much but I know you all are doing great! Sorry to hear about the mission call- haha! I can't wait to find out! So you don't think you'll be going to NY? West Indies is in great need of senior couples :)
Dad your emails make me laugh without fail! Love you all and thanks for writing (well some of you write...ha jk...kind of)
Thanks for everything!
Love,
Elizabeth
