Hello Everyone,
So I'm in Puyallup now. Puyallup South. Basically as south as it gets in the mission. Our ward (Pioneer Valley) literally borders the Tacoma mission.
We are in a house. We share it with another set of sisters. The back wall of the living room is basically a bunch of windows so birds try to fly in and die. I cleaned up two of them the other day. I don't like that. We also share the car. So we get it every other day.
The first things that were said to me when I tried talking to people over here were "Um. You're creeping me out." and "Do I know you?" It was a lovely welcome to the new area. Haha!
My companion is Sister Sonasi. Tongan. From West Valley Utah. She's hilarious. I was wondering when I would get an Islander companion. It happened. Woot-woot.
We are in a ward that has Elders as well. Elder Christiansen and Taylor. Still getting used to double the missionaries. It's weird.
I noticed there were some Pearsons in the ward, so naturally we went to go meet them. They are nothing like my family. Nope. And I don't think they were actually too happy to meet me. So I probably won't see them again. Oh well, it was still fun calling them Brother and Sister Pearson.
We were walking around and S. Sonasi waved to someone in their car. Next thing I know I heard a whizzing sound, felt a sting on my wrist, and then heard a clink. I looked down to see a little pink circle shape on my skin. I turned around to find that the person in the car chucked a nickel and a penny at me. -__- Seriously. Hahaha! I was cracking up. First thing thrown at me. Feelin' good. Haha. :)
I do miss Lake Sawyer soooo much! But I know in time I will love Pioneer Valley. We are basically aimlessly wandering around talking to people. (The street system is SO confusing!) But miracles are still happening as we try our best.
I am realizing how life isn't meant to be comfortable. As soon as we are comfortable, we aren't progressing. I heard it put this way... Life is like an escalator going down. We have to work to get up it and as soon as we stop moving forward, we're automatically going to go back down. So keep pushing on and keep working hard. And trust in the Lord. :) Things will work out, but they won't if we stop trying.
Challenges will come, but we can be at peace when we Trust in the Lord and in His timing:
I don't have much to say today.
Until next time I'll be doin' it the Federal Way.
Love,
Sister Pearson :)
