Our mission received 34 missionaries this week, all new missionaries, many reassigned. Sister Lee and I drove to Oxnard last Monday and picked up our new companions! My new companion is from Texas and her name is Sister Stock (hence the title of this email)! (I'm hilarious). She is awesome! She was originally assigned to the London England mission, Portuguese-speaking.
This week was one of the busiest I've had in a while. Sister Stock took it like a champ and crushed it! We taught eight non-member lessons and 10 member lessons! We helped a less active member move, served at food share, helped a member make bookmarks for the primary kids, and had many, many meetings!
Sister Stock and I got a call on Tuesday asking us to be facebook support missionaries, meaning we call and remind other missionaries of the posts they should be making, and help them brainstorm ideas and make quality material for the page! Kinda fun!
Our people are doing great! On Monday the ward put together a drive-by welcome party for Charlotte. They all drove by her house, cars decorated, armed with posters and presents, honking and yelling hello! It was a highlight! The ward has shown so much support and love to her! Our other friends Melissa and Sergio are cruising through the lessons and loving the Gospel!
Fillmore is HOTTT! Not just because there is a fire close by, but because it is 112°F every other day! If you ever visit Fillmore (I don't know why you would) DON'T DO IT IN AUGUST! You will die!
Loving the mission and the experiences I'm having. It's been a learning curve this week and I'm excited to learn more next week! The harder things are, the more I rely on my Savior, and the more he builds me up!
"Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest in your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." -Matt 11:28-30
