Transfer/Being Brave

Well!

so a lot has happened since last Monday! im here in Niceville with a new companion. sister cooper. Monday late afternoon the ap's called us sayin there was a mistake on the transfer sheet and that me and sis h were getting separated! I am still whitewashing, now im doin it with sis cooper! she is from  northern California. she is like nobody ive ever met! seriously! hahaha I made some videos so when I send it hope ya'll will understand! I love her.  so we live in a 2 story apt with 2 beds and 1 1/2 bath. its a big place! haha tile floors so its chilly in the morning I get to wear my slippers everywhere! im nervous that ill forget to change shoes when we go out. we had nothing when we got here. no gators, a couple LAs they were workin with, a couple pages of potentials, the elders cleaned the apt hard core apparently. it was way messy I think hahaha the desk drawers were full of crap!! and nasty stuff that I won't mention because it makes me gag! why are girls so gross!!! haha. seriously. we're gross! anyway the last few days in tally were sad!! everyone was so upset that we were both leaving!! like seriously upset! we had a lesson with bro keith one more time and lets just say I teared up!! we made a video of explaining the experience because I cant type it. nothing comes to my mind!! it was a sad last few days though. I didn't know we made that big of an influence until we told them we were leaving!! anyway!! here in Niceville. where everyone is super nice!

there is a great and spacious building. the big Methodist church that basically runs the community! its not a very big town. the ward is huge!! so many people were talkin smack about it, but I rebuked them and stopped listenin. the ward members here are sooo nice!! they haven't had sisters here for a while. so they have grown relationships with the elders. we're comin in empty! hahaha but the ward is super super nice!! we have friends already! there is sooooo much work to do! so much work to do! its just us 4 missionaries in the ward. the ward is on the verge of splitting if you get what I mean. BIG! we have gotten 5 new gators in 3 days.  the elders were flippen out!! elder brewington and elder Swenson.(new missionary).  lol oops! I still don't know how to act around elders! awkward! but we had a member come out with us yesterday and have gotten member referrals!! people are flockin to us! im feelin a bit overwhelmed hahah like soooo much to do, but not enough time!!  we are on a car share. so we bike every other day! legs of steel are comin back baby!! legs of steel! so here is a crazy story, we had an apt to do service at a members house, we had the address in our roster, clear on the other side of town so we started out early!! HILLS  are Alive!! there were so many hills! I haven't biked like this in forever!! oh my gosh!! so it took us like an hour to get there. we knock on the door, the member doesn't live there :( but we got a new gator from the new owner of the house! super nice!!. we called the member, no answer, we called the elders. they were makin fun of us a lil bit. haha they came to our rescue and picked us up. the members house was clear on the other side of town! we biked in the wrong direction. ugh!! so I feel like a lot of the time these past 5 days we were damsels in distress's! we met with part member families and got new gators from them! and we have like tons to do!! yet with bikes, its limited. also its freezing! wet wind is so cold!!!

me and sister cooper are workin hard. sis cooper is fearless! not even playin. fearless! so that is good! this area is about to explode with awesomeness! hahahaha its weird workin with elders closely again, also its weird not havin to refer gators and potentials to other wards! there aint nobody around!! so we're in the fort walten zone, that's all I got for you! we were at a ysa dinner (also weird that we can go) and everyone was sayin which ward they are in. I forgot em all. as well as their names! I am getting better at directions and the basic land marks! hurray!!! hahahaaha this is ganna be an interestin transfer!!! that's all ive got to say about it!

XMAS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO CLOSE!! we have a lunch apt on xmas day! I still want to get breakfast and dinner apts hahahah we're on it!! OH another thing is that like 1/2 the ward is military! there is a base here. so lots of people in and out. fun! thisll be fun! until next time

LOVE
SIS MILNE THE BRAVE
