December 31st 2008

Hey!
So I got transfered to Harrisonburg VA. It's a huge area! We cover 2 wards and also part of West Virginia. It's pretty crazy! My new companion is Sister Hopoate. She's a good missionary and we're hoping for lots of success this transfer. We did get transfered on Christmas day which was kinda a bummer because we drove and packed all day, but oh well. The work will keep pressing forward. I'm in the horse and buggy Mennonite territory which is pretty funny. The Mennonite people are really nice and it's fun watching them go on their horse and buggies. Not something I'm use to seeing everyday. We just set a girl named Megan Hedrick for baptism for January 24, 2009 which is really exciting. There's a lot of Less Actives to work with as well as a lot of members who love missionary work. They like to feed you out here as well so hopefully I don't get fat! I'll just have to run more I guess.
I've converted to a new snack! NUTTER-BUTTERS! OH MAN!! They are so good. So I pretty much eat Oranges, Nutterbutters and bagels unless a member feeds us. LOL It's so good though. Not the best diet but man it's good.
Other then that, not much is going on. Next week I get to go on exchanges with Sister Abbott. It's her last transfer then she's going home. I'm SO excited to be companions with her for 2 days. Out of all the sisters I've been dying to serve with her. So the Lord has blessed me! She's amazing and I'm planning on learning A LOT from her!
The mission is so great! I love every second of it. It's fun to meet all these new people and bring more happiness into their lives. I feel so blessed to be able to be a part in helping established God's kindgom here on earth. It's wonderful! I love it!
I'm sorry I don't have much more to write. My christmas wasn't bad. We had breakfast at a members home (The Marlowes) and I got to say my good-byes to a lot of people. So that was nice. It's was really good to talk to my family and see how they were doing. Time went by way to fast though! Until next week -Sister Orawiec
