This week was SO BUSY! thursday
we didnt have any time to schedule lunch or dinner, thankfully when we
went to see the bishop he fed us, so that was nice! But this whole week
we were booked with an appointment after appointment whether it was an
appointment to see an investigator or a less active or a member we had
no time to think, it was really nice to be that busy i loved it! Yes it
is tons colder over here, we got lots of snow and there is suppose to be
more coming but since im being transferred to the Kingston zone to the
belleville area i don't know what it will be like over there, you can
apparently see New York from that area so probably will be even snowier.
AND i'll be closer to Richard and Cherise! But we will see by next
week. which is when i get to talk to all of you!!! whoop whoop! i love
my heavenly father so much, this week he has spoken to me softly many
times, and all through serving other people. he is always there,
President Monson was so right about that! i never doubted him but i can
testify that i have been able to hear as i have gotten closer to him to
listen. I love this work, let me tell ya!
so we had our ward Christmas party this Saturday and Shawn came, he is suppose to be getting baptized next Sunday(
yeah i wont be here, it stinks) but it will probably have to be pushed
to January now. but he came and he loved it! he was able to talk to one
of the members the whole night and not get bored, it was pure
awesomeness!!!!! we had food and music. the ESL class that i help teach
sang ( as well as the missionaries) oh come all ye faithful and it was
beautiful. i also sang with the Spanish group haha my companion was
playing the piano for them, and during practice i would sit on a chair
and just hum and then started to sing quietly to see if i could do it
and then the leader for the group pulled me over to stand with the
others and i sang in Spanish, it was so cool!! I love speaking Spanish,
especially singing in Spanish. it felt more natural singing in Spanish
than singing in English did! all in all the ward party was amazing it
was a great turn out for a storm hitting us the night before. since im
being transferred i dont know what preparation days will be like in
belleville so heads up future letters may not be as long. I love you all
very much and look forward to talking to you next wednesday!!!!
Love sister Hadley
ps here are some pictures from the
party. i dont know which is which but the one guy witht he draker skin
is shawn our solid investigator! and then there are the twins the are
the best. then there is bishop in the hawaiian shirt gonna miss him, and
Janet Taylor she goes teaching with us and there is keysha in the
purple shirt she hasn't been to church since before i came and she
showed up with her kids and shaquia is one of them she is in the
glasses. then there are sister and elder rhees they bring our letters
and packages to us when they come to church on sunday,
so we were so lucky to have them, she reminds me of you mom! i love
her, she is so sweet and kind. then there is sister schoemaker the short
one in between sister tebbs and i she comes with us to teach shawn and
she has been the best for that she is NOT afraid to speak up!
Dear Mom,
My stomach is getting better,
mandi is so right when i am stressed it gets worse, but i take the pills
like it says and i have been feeling better. i have had a better week! i
just kept turning towards good positive thoughts and scriptures and
hymns when i felt down and it helped me stay positive and on top of
things! i am excited to be transferred, to experience something new,
heavenly father knows what is best, and he seems to constantly push me
out of my comfort zone so i knew it was coming.. i even had a dream
about it haha but it should be good. i will miss my ward and sister
tebbs but like dad says its part of the mission. taking the training
wheels off! i loved that quote by sister Holland it was perfect and just
what i needed thank you! i loved the picture too. i cant wait until Wednesday next week, im not sure yet about skyping i will find out next monday
because i am going to a new area. which i did get my package, just in
the knick of time too!i love you and cant wait to speak with you!!!!
love Sister Hadley
