It was a hectic week. I said goodbye to my trainer after three transfers together (about four months). Not the easiest thing in the world, especially for being still so new and not as confident as I would like to be. But the change is good for me and for the area. Sister Darrington, from Malta, Idaho, is my new companion she's been out a year. She has lots of good ideas for ways to improve our finding and teaching and our relationship with the ward members. I'm really excited for this area—there is so much potentialhere and the change in companions will be good. Things have been very good in the area, but they will get so much better. I can't wait! Sister Darrington told me this week that this is the busiest area she's ever served in. That is both a good and bad thing, good because it means we've been doing something right, and bad because that means whatever area I go to next will feel dead to me, since this is all I know. But maybe that will be a good thing also. More motivation to work hard in my next area and make it busy. I love this area so much. Getting transferred out of here is my worst fear.
Again, we're running into the problem that all of our teaching appointments are in
Windsor, so we do a lot of commuting. With limited mileage, this means we have to walk whenever possible and scrimp and save on our miles. The middle of July in Connecticut is a fun time to walk. :) With all this humidity it's like walking in a sauna. One nice thing about it is that people see how sweaty we are and feel sorry for us, so they might offer us water even if they won't listen to us. I also have the world's greatest farmer's tan.
Thanks to everyone for your letters and support. God loves everyone and the Church is true (yes, it's a well-worn cliche but worth saying again).
Love,
Sister Monson
