Transfer 1 Week 6, 28 January 2010

Note from Nina: This letter is from Angie's Bishop in Burgess Falls Ward. She gave a talk in church on Sunday. And she didn't write on Monday. I'm wondering if she got transferred. Or one of her companions.

Transfer 1 Week 5, 18 January 2010

Question to answer:
Angie, tell me the name of your second companion again, please.

Reply:
Her name is Crystal Sprinkle. It's a work in progress as everything is.

[Note from Nina: I didn't have time to write a whole lot to Angie and didn't have many questions for her. We'd had the chance to talk for awhile on Friday because her Grandpa Verl was dying. He'd had something go terribly wrong on Wednesday where is blood pressure dropped and he'd had a small heart attack. As a result, even though they were able to pull him through Wednesday, his kidneys never restarted functioning and so he passed Saturday night from kidney failure. It was a great shock to all of us and it was a very emotional phone call that I had with Angie. We will miss Grandpa Verl! We love him so much!]

Transfer 1 Week 4, 11 January 2010

Questions to answer:
1. Speaking of cold, is your coat warm enough? Are you thinking about buying some boots?
2. Have you had your bike assembled yet? Any need to use it yet?
3. Have you had a Zone Conference yet? One coming?
4. How are your District Meetings?
5. What's your P-day schedule like? Where do you do your shopping and laundry?
6. Do you and your comp cook your meals together (i.e., you eat the same food) or separately?
7. Do you have a microwave oven?
8. What kind of service have you been performing for your service hours?
9. Old news, but I was wondering what you did on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
10. How are Wanda and Kelly progressing?
11. How's Bill?
12. If you've got it today, what's your apartment address? If you don't know it, maybe Sister Blackham does.
13. What was the most interesting or exciting thing that happened during the week?

Reply:
1. When I have the lining in it's very warm. When I don't it isn't that warm but is good for short bits of time. The thought for boots have crossed my mind, I already have a pair, but still I might buy more.
2. No, it's still in it's box. And so far no need.
3. No, our next Zone Conf. is on Wednesday. I can't wait!
4. District Meeting is AWESOME! Our district leader is an amazing 9-fingered Elder. His comp. came out with me. I even sat next to him on the plane from Memphis.
5. Busy. We go to Walmart to shop, though we might go to other stores. We've been doing laundry at a member’s home, but now we're in a threesome and the other sister's old apartment has a washer and dryer so we used that today.
6. Depends on the day. Usually we eat different things but there are times where we'll have a pizza and we share.
7. We do have one. It'd be a pain not to have one.
8. We do different things. My first service was helping with a wrestling building that one of the member's husband was building. (We worked for our food.)
9. Stuff. We spent the night at our place. At midnight the other sisters went to the roof. I was in bed, I did wake up but I wanted my bed more than the roof.
10. It's just Wanda Kelley. She's doing well, and can't wait until the 23rd. Our other investigator with the same date has decided to drop us. I still keep her in my prayers.
11. Bill's doing wonderful. He and his wife, Renee have a calling in the Boy Scouts. He received the PH the day after his baptism, that was pretty cool.
12. I DO have it today. (Though I did send a snail mail with it.) It's 19 South Jefferson Ave., Ste 210, Cookeville, TN 38501
13. I've fallen 3-4 times in the snow and haven't been seriously hurt, unlike the last time I fell. I finally got a letter from two of my friends. That was nice.

Transfer 1 Week 3, 4 January 2010

Questions to answer:

Have you found the Christmas card with the check from Grandma and Grandpa?
What is your apartment address?
What's the name of your investigator who wanted more to read? How is she progressing?
How's the searching going?
Any other investigators to tell about?
Any interesting experiences that happened this week?


Reply:

Yes, I got Grandma's and Grandpa's letter/check, it came in the mail a few days after I wrote the email.

I'll have to get back with you on this one, I don't have anything that would have the address on it.

Her name is Wanda Kelley, she called on Wednesday and told us that she wanted to be baptized. Her date has been set for January 23. We have another investigator who also has a date for the 23rd as well, her name is Hazel.

Okay, I suppose. It kinda freaks me out when we go tracting because I'm all new and I don't really know what to say, but I know as long as I lean on the Lord he will guide me.

Not really. Nothing really changes here. Well, one of the sisters here is leaving on Wednesday because she's a Spanish speaking sister and she now has a companion to be assigned to. I'm going to miss her.

One question though, what's stitchery?
