Allo!
Everything for conference went smoothly, which is frankly astounding considering the bizarre weather that we ran into this conference season... I think that we experienced all four seasons in one weekend; I was more than slightly amused... especially since some of our sisters are rather small and looked like they needed a strong anchor to keep them from blowing away in all the wind. All the sisters who announced in their respective languages really had a blast, even though some were at risk of flying away. If anyone was looking for me, I didn't see them because everyone that I met was surprised to see me on a mission... which I thought was funny because I've been here for a while now.
Our investigators are doing well, although because of conference weekend we've lost contact with all of them, although we are sincerely hoping to meet with our Missourian because he wants to make it to Temple Square to meet us sometime.... and we want to know what happened when he went to General Conference. (Albeit we also want to know if the bishop and the missionaries have figured out that he's not a member of the church yet, because he called the bishop to ask where he could go and see conference and what time institute was... so there may be some confusion there) We're excited to see how everything works out. Missionary work is the best.
Transfers are coming up soon, I'm personally hoping that I get to stay with Sister Farmer because we still haven't made it to the Welfare Square yet and we really want to know what happens with our two friends who we are teaching together... however it would be exciting to change considering in my head these last two transfers have just been one incredibly large transfer merged together. Sister Farmer jokes that I'll look back and think that I hated her because I felt like I was with her for FOREVER, however that is merely a misconception because I was with her for two transfers and didn't really realize it. We're both sad that Sister Terry is leaving, but we're also excited to see the new sisters who are coming in this next transfer, 13 from all different parts of the world. Maybe there will be someone from the Czeck Republic! We need one so that we can help the guests who speak no English and come here wanting to learn about the "nice here".
Hope this finds everyone well! (and despite all odds- I am still alive for yet another transfer of excitement and adventure... hopefully it won't involve figuring out how to cure migraines in 45 min or less)
