Goodbye Sister Palmer!

Hey everyone!!!

 

Tarmia Cashie! Samama! (Thanks! to you to!) Thats all I know how to say...

So I learned some Indonesian this last week. :) Friday night we went over to dinner with Brother Lau, also known as Jack Smiley, and his non-member wife. Brother Lau grew up in Indonesia so speaks it fluently and his wife knows alot as well. So over dinner they tried to teach us some, but it just sounds like chicken talk to me. But that dinner was a hoot and a holler the entire time. They are SO funny. Between their stories of gambling in America to singing Chinese Opera for us to hear, it was a night to remember.

 

Confrence was SO good this weekend! We had so many people come! It was a miracle! On Saturday even Choi Lai Wah came with her little granddaughter!!! She had to tell her daughter in law that she was going to lunch with some friends, but then really came to the chapel. Then Elder Eyrings talk was PERFECT for her. When I was listening all I could think was, wow, I hope that Choi Jimuih is watching this. There were so many good talks that fit our investigators situations perfectly. I am so excited to use what I learned to help them all progress! :)

 

On Wednesday a couple of members wanted to throw a little lunch/going away party for Sister Palmer. But Sister Palmer and I have been very strict with the ward members telling them we really cant eat food with them unless there is an investigator or a less active there. So the members invited 4 of the LAs that lived in there area, and ALL 4 CAME!!!! It was SO good! Everyone got to make some more friends and we got to share with them a message about General Conference. Obedience truely does bring miracles!!!

 

Last night we had the My Conversion Fireside, where all the going home missionaries invite one of their converts or whoever they want to bear their testimony. We had to get there a bit early to have a meeting before and as we were sitting there, President Hawks called me back into his office. Everyone knows what this means. Anytime, the Sunday before transfers you get called to talk to Pres. Hawks that means you are training. Yep. Turns out I am training. No more Sister Trainer Leader for me, I am now going to be training a new fresh American missionary. Everyone has said that I am going to train, and I felt it coming, so it wasnt much of a shock. I feel like I will be a much better trainer this time than last time. There is no doubt about that.

 

But Mom and Dad you will have to say hi to Sister Palmer for me. I told her she could hold Thomas, that is of course as soon as he comes out of the hospital.

 

But I love you! I will tell you more next week. I love you!

PS Remember almost a year ago when Sister Clements and I met Nicki? We thought she might have been drunk and ended up texting us the next morning? Well she is still around! She has been coming to church for almost a year! She has a good solid testimony! I saw her again last night and ask her if she remembered me. She is so good! But still needs more time. Missionary work is AWESOME!!!!
