Yes, that's right. Suffield, which is, like, two minutes out of our area. I went
there at the end of last transfer because our ward mission leader lives there. It's
beautiful. And Frederick G. Williams was born there. Ha!
Guess what else is really close to our area? There's a Six Flags in Agawam, Mass. which is right by the border. A recent convert actually offered to take us there. If only! Just barely outside mission boundaries. :(
Last night we had the third and final performance of our "The Living Christ" music fireside, this time in Woodbridge which is the stake center for the New Haven stake. So we drove through New Haven. Didn"t see much of it, it was getting dark and we were just rushing through. BUT, at least I can say I've been to New Haven. Not Yale itself, but New Haven. The fireside went really well. The Spirit was so strong there especially when several converts bore their testimonies. I have so much respect for people who convert,especially later in life. It is such a big change and I am so impressed with those who stick with it. Their testimonies are always so amazing to hear.
So begins Week 3 of the transfer. My fourth transfer (out of 12 or 13), my sixth month. Already! I have this constant sense of urgency, a feeling that my mission is going by too fast. Six months is a third of the mission.
As far as the work itself, things have slowed down a bit because almost all of our new investigators fell through the cracks or dropped us. But we still have so many recent converts to teach the new-member lessons to, that we are still very busy. Lots of time teaching the recent converts in Windsor means very little time left to find people in Windsor Locks. Don't misunderstand me I'm not complaining by any means. Too much time teaching and not enough time finding is a good problem to have. But we're struggling a bit with finding. Sister Darrington and I are both naturally more reserved and every minute of every day is a challenge to force ourselves to talk to those who come in our path. Some days are better than others, of course. You would think it would get easier over time and just stay that way, but it fluctuates.
Not much else to report. Hope you are all enjoying the summer, thanks for your letters.
Love,
Sister Monson
