Heeeeey everybody! :-)
I hope you all had a fantastic week! I know that I did. :-D Let's
get things going shall we! I apologize for any not correct English or
weird sounding english... xP
Tuesday:
I mentioned in last weeks email that transfer calls were moved. We
used to do them on Saturdays and transfer on Monday, but now transfer
calls will be coming on Tuesdays and we transfer on Thursdays.
Tuesday was transfer call day... I was waaaay nervous. I had no idea
how things were going to end up. I
got even more nervous when we
got an email from Sisters Imano and
Ellingson saying that they got
their call and were both staying! The
fact that we hadn't gotten ours yet meant that SOMEONE would be
transfering from us... We were afraid to say the prayer to end our
companion study because we knew the phone could ring at any time.
Sure enough, as soon as I started to pray the phone rang. x)
Here are the results! Sister Stankosky transfered to an area called
Hibarigaoka and I'm still in Fujisawa!! Yaaaaaaay! I'm still a Sister
Training Leader and on top of that, I've been made a trainer again! I
was pretty stressed out about it... Talk about pressure.
Well, that
meant we spent most of Tuesday packing.
Wednesday:
We spent ALL day packing and cleaning the apartment.
Thursday:
We woke up Thursday Morning to the sound of the doorbell. Sister
Homem had come to give my companion and I a ride to the train station
so we wouldn't have to walk carrying all of my companions stuff. That
was at 5:15am. Then at the train station our Ward Mission Leader met
up with us and helped carry my companions luggage halfway to
Kichijoji. :-) I LOVE FUJISAWA WARD!
When we got to Kichijoji, I said goodbye to Sister Stankosky and met
up with the other Sisters who were going to be made trainers.
This time being made a trainer was completely different than last
time! Last time it was this HUGE ordeal that took nearly all day to
figure out. This time, we were done with everything by 11:30am. :P
My new companion is.................... Sister Miwa!! Oh my goodness
I love her so much. x) We make kind of a funny companionship though.
She's super tall and used to do athletics so she's pretty buff. ;)
Put that next to tiny wimpy me and we get a lot of stares. x) She
doesn't really speak English.. like at all. :-) She understands about
half of what's being said most of the time, but she can't quite speak.
So if I talk to her in slow English, she'll respond in Japanese. It's
way fun. :-D I can already feel my Japanese improving. My goal is to
be fluent by the end of this transfer. Hahaha! :-)
Sister Miwa wants to be a PE Teacher after her mission, but coolest
thing ever, she used to study Astronomy as well! She actually went
and worked at an observatory for a summer! It's been way fun being
geeky with her. ;) She's already a way good missionary too.
Seriously, the only stress I have with her is that she can't translate
what she's saying to other people. ;) Waaa. :P
Friday:
We had to wake up again at 5am to go to Kichijoji, this time for
another mission leadership council. The MLC was WAY good and I
learned a ton, but I was way exhausted. Two days of waking up that
early was killer. That took up most of the day.
Saturday and Sunday were normal days and not much happened... and now
it's Monday!
Sorry, I'm way out of time so I've gotta wrap it up here. I love you
all so much! Thank you so much for everything! Love you!
Love,
Christine
Goodbye Sis. Stankosky!
Hello Sis. Miwa!!
