New Companion: Sister Bawden

February 26
Jeanette knew she was getting a new companion because her trainer was done her 18 month mission and was heading home.

Jeanette did not get to go to Vancouver, and therefore not another ferry ride. She stayed and worked in Victoria for the day!

After emailing family last Monday [Jeanette's birthday], Sister Eyanson packed up and said goodbye to the people in Courtenay, then drove to Nanaimo for the night. Tuesday they drove down to Victoria to met up with the STLs there. One of them left with Sister Eyanson for Vancouver because she was also going home. Jeanette spent the day with the other STL, Sister Robison. They did phone work and then contacting on the streets of Victoria. Wednesday she did some work finding people and then met her next companion.

Her new companion is Sister Bawden, from Sterling, Utah. After having lunch they headed back to Courtenay, but the GPS they had been using was her companion's who just went home. So they needed some help to get home.

Jeanette was able to tell Sister Bawden all about the wonderful people in Courtenay as they drove home. She remembered everything she needed to tell her with the help of the Spirit. Sister Bawden was excited because she could tell how much Jeanette loved the people of the area.

She and her new companion had a great fun week together. They did some service work visiting and helping a lady move boxes. While visiting they put tutus on their heads and danced around, told stories and came up with strange uses for various children's and dog toys to entertain a lady.
