HAPPY NEW YEARS!
First things first, we got our transfer calls and... We're
becoming a trio! I was not expecting that at all. President Beesley told us we're
staying with a twist, and that was the twist! So Sister Morrison who just
finished being trained by Sister Hewitt will be coming down from North Pole and
we'll be continuing the work with the three of us! With the weather we've been
having in Anchorage, Sister Morrison should only need a light sweater. Elder
Stevenson (one of the elders we share the ward with) will also be transfered to
Eagle River, he's been here for three transfers and the rest of
us have only been here one! He will be missed and it will be
interesting to see how these new changes effect the work in Inlet View.
Speaking of the work, it's been good! The holidays have
added a difficult spin on things with people being out of town, or having to
cancel, etc. but we've got a great week lined up with people we'll be seeing!
I don't know if I mentioned the "B"-member family we've been struggling to meet with because of scheduling but
they came and we were so excited! Their little girl, A
, sat by me and it
was cute to see how even though she's small she wanted to be reverant. At first
she was climbing all over, but by the end she was sitting with her arms folded
and everything! The Hello Kitty stickers might have been a bribe.. but I guess
it worked so it's all good. :) haha
For New Years Eve we had a "radio show" with
all the missionaries over polycom! The sisters in Anchorage stayed at the
mission home and we all had to be in by 7:00 to avoid any drunk driving. I
was asked to host the radio show and that was a lot of fun! President Beelsey
made pancakes in the morning which was certainly a highlight of the week-they
were delicious!
I must admit I feel a little out of wind this week. Things
are going well and I'm grateful to be here!
Love you all! Don't forget to pray and read your scriptures!
Christ's light is the key to the winter darkness!
Love,
Sister Hedelius
