This is her last transfer. Something funny is that the other Sister she's trained was also a redhead from Alberta. The Sister before me was from Calgary.
It's not even very cold here. Just foggy and wet and pretty much always raining, even if it's very light most of the time. We are very close to the ocean.My rain coat and umbrella have been very helpful already.
We are an answer to so many peoples' prayers here. They were super upset when, two transfers ago, missionaries were pulled from the area and they had to share with Campbell River and their Elders. There are TONS of single or widowed sisters here, and we can go and visit and teach so many more people.
The members have been super helpful, spreading word and giving referrals and whatnot- which is especially helpful because we are whitewashing AND pinkwashing the area.
We went to a double baby shower the other day. It was the RS celebrating two recently-born babies. But, Sister Anderson ran ahead and announced us as we were coming into the room. They all cheered and clapped like we are celebrities! They were extra excited to know that we are just for their ward & area, and not shared. There have been plenty of people who we have visited, and they let us in and we just chat & get to know them. This ward is amazing, too. We spoke on Sunday, and everyone's super excited to see and hear from us. So many people say that they were praying to get some Sisters in this area, especially the RS presidency.
The place we live in is super cool. The Andersons renovated their garage, and turned it into a suite just for the missionaries! It has all the furniture we need (though my office chair keeps scaring me), a kitchenette, a cute little bedroom, a bathroom, everything! It looks more like an apartment than a garage. It's super cool. We have seen tons of blessings and miracles already.
