- SO… transfers were on Tuesday and………………………………………… I am staying…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. In Nevada!!!! I got transferred to Boulder City, Nevada and I am serving with Sister Little again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Boulder City is right in between Henderson and Lake Mead, in fact, my area covers Lake Mead!! Kinda different. We were double transferred into this area which means that we replaced Elders down here. It is a new experience for me and Sister Little because neither of us have served near Boulder City before… lets just say that I am glad that Dad taught me good navigating skills and that I was blessed with his sense of direction.
- I am excited to be serving with Sister Little again. I know that we are for sure supposed to be serving here together. I couldn’t imagine getting double transferred into an area with a companion I didn’t know. That would just add to the stress level. At least we know how to serve together and we can just get to work!!!! It is a huge blessing. I also know that we have both matured and grown a ton in the past 6 months and we will be able to learn new things from each other!!!!! I am looking forward to round 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- The members here are SO EXCITED to have sisters. We cover 4 wards… yes folks, that is FOUR wards. We haven’t quite figured out how we are going to do that yet, however the members have been extremely helpful so far! I LOVE IT HERE! It is very different from the crazy busy city life I was living just 3 days ago. It is funny how different it is here and we are only 15 minutes from Vegas. The houses here are HUMONGOUS and there are quite a few multi-millionaires in our wards. I already feel loved and at home with the members!
- Oh boy, IT IS HUMID DOWN HERE! Yesterday it was only 112 degrees but I was sweating way more than I was in 120 degrees. Being right by the lake plus everyone here has grass which means more watering equals lots and lots of humidity!! My arms are baby bum soft though. Oh and so is my bum!!
- It actually wasn’t as hard to say goodbye to Paradise as I thought it would be. I didn’t even cry. In fact, I was quite at ease over the whole thing. I think it helped that President gave me a weeks notice. And I just kept in mind that I would be coming back to visit soon!
In a response to some of my questions she said:
1. I LOVE MY NEW AREA!!!!!!!!!!! I love it SO MUCH! I told dad that it is like having kids... you never think that you could love the next one as much as the first and yet you end up falling in love with them all!!!
2. I am SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO happy to be serving here with Sister Little!!! I call this time my repentance time because last time we served together I thought I
knew it all and I thought I was all that and this time I am just me and we are being ditsy together!!! I have loved every single second of serving with her this transfer!!!!! I really think that we have built a friendship that will last forever!3. I am drinking so much water and gatorade that I am peeing like a mad woman!!!!! Oh and yes, the pee is almost crystal clear! Haha! I can definitely recognize when I haven't had enough water.... therefore I fix the problem immediately. Did you know that it is illegal to refuse water to someone here??? We get offered water all the time, it is a great way of getting into peoples houses!!!!!
This week she mentioned:
- I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Boulder City!!!!!
- Since last week we have 8 new investigators!!!! The member have been praying for quite some time for the work to move foward here and they have also been praying for sisters for a long time. President told us last week that we have been sent here to teach the people who have been waiting for sister missionaries. He promised us that the member would start giving us people to teach because they have been waiting for us!!!! It is so exciting to be an answer to prayers!!!!
- Everyone is so excited to see us here and to have us teach their friends and family! We have also been doing a lot of tracting because we know that right now it is a good way to find people. I used to hate tracting but I have actually really enjoyed it this past week. Sister Little and I are constantly laughing about something.
- We have already been adopted into so many families and have had many many many marriage proposals from the fathers of RM's and other young single men!!!! It has been quite amusing!!!
- Because we cover four wards we have to do splits on Sunday. It isn't the best of circumstances but it works! The wards have also been extremely helpful with the splits! We have been given so much by the members for our apartment. In fact, we have extra! They sure do love us!
And in ususaly Chelsee manner - "I LOVE YOU ALL! Remember that Jesus Loves you TOO! Make good choices, don't do drugs, and be happy!LOVE, ME!"
