WEll, I absolutely love my new area. The bummer part is, that we dont' have any people to teach LOL. The sisters just baptized 3 people but they were so focused on getting them baptized that they didn't focus on finding more people to teach. So now we have to do a lot of finding. It's all good though. I really like all the members and people I have met so far.We are living at a members home again, the Lambournes. They are AMAZING! IT's an upstairs apartment thing. We go down and have breakfast with them almost every morning and have a nice visit. They are sure good to the missionaries. It was my birthday yesterday so sister lambourne made me breakfast and they got me a card and a few little gifts. IT was really nice of them. Then when we got home at night, she had a strawberry shortcake for us. All in all it was a really good birthday. What better birthday to have then once serving the Lord all day trying to find His elect? The best if you ask me.There isn't too much going on yet. We did have a baptism on Saturday, susan. Who the sisters have been teaching for a few months. So it was nice to come right into an area and already have a baptism to prepare for. I loved it! We've been doing a lot of service for a few members. One has to be moved out of her house in 90 days and her husband is deployed in Iraq so it's been really hard for her (The Betke) We went there last night and I entertained her kids while they packed. They are out of control LOL It was a lot of fun though.One of the recent converts Joanna is getting really into missionary work. She went on exchanges with the Elders last night and before she went we had a lesson with her and she was trying so hard to prepare herself to go and teach this lady. Joanna was once a Jehovah Witness and the lady they are teaching is currently one, so Joanna can really relate to her. I guess the lesson turned out GREAT and all went well.Other then that, not too much to say. i love my new companion Sister Silotti. She's such a sweet girl. She's been out just over 4 months but she is on top of things. I really love her already. We are getting a strong relationship.Well I love you all!-Much LoveSister Orawiec
