Ohmigoodness, I LOVE Kuna!!!! It seriously could
possibly become my favorite area.
So, Sister Ketring and I are Shotgunning the area-- they
took the two previous sisters out, and put the two of us in at the same time.
So we're both new to the area, and there's been a lot of exploring this
week. :)
So, the first person we met was Sister Jepson, who is
basically our unofficial WML. She came over because she called us to see
if our dinner schedule was filled out, and... we had no one for the week.
Completely blank. so, she came to pick up the schedule, and invited
us for dinner the next night. Which was a good thing, because her husband
is the first counselor in the Bishopric. And as we were talking, he asked
if we would be willing to talk, and both of us were like "YES!"
He was in shock. He was surprised by how willing we
were to talk in Sacrament meeting.
So we talked this week. So, yesterday. My talk
was based off of Sister Burton's talk in the Conference Ensign-- "Help
Wanted: Helping Hands and a Willing Heart", or something like that.
It turned out really good. :) I think the congregation felt the
spirit between Sister Ketring and I speaking, since both ideas were around the
idea of being a Disciple of Christ.
So, with a brand-new area and an unmarked Ward Directory
from January, we were off to meet the people of the ward!
Anyways, most of this week was just meeting people.
There's Sister Scott, a recent convert, who gave us a skirt for free (she
sells skirts and dresses out of her home.); Mr. Easley, who lived in a
former members home and think could be a potential investigator; Cadhen
Renyolds, an investigator who we need moms permission to baptize and not
getting it; and the other Renyolds, who were apparently a "tread
lightly", and they invited us over for dinner for this Friday!
Needless to say, it's been a busy week. :) I love it
out here. And there's also a snocone shack in our area that gives us free
snocones. Yeah, life can't get much better right now. :)
Anyways, no pictures this week-- I can't find my SD card.
But hopefully I can send some home next week!
I'm sorry that this email is sort of short-- hopefully, as
we develop relationships, my emails will have better detail.
I love you all, and hope everything is going well for you!
Keep the faith strong!
Love,
Sister Empey
