Reasons I love my Companion

So, here I was, minding my own business chatting with our roommates at the table, when all the sudden I look to one side and see my companion... flopped on the couch in what may or may not be a comfortable position... I did my best not to laugh as I took a picture of her. You can probably tell I wasn't very successful. Especially in one of the pictures. She's trying not to smile because just as I was taking the pictures, I said that she'd probably try and kill me for this. Thankfully she hasn't yet. Just asked for a copy of the pictures so she could send them to her family.


The other picture is sister Tew and sister Jakobson (from Denmark) just a random picture taken when we were eating dinner after all ya lovely family type people came to take a tour n stuffs. When sister Tew was outbound and I knew she would be my companion, people who didn’t know her would ask me about her. I would say that she kind of looks like sister Jakobson… but not. You can see for yourself what she looks like now.


Any way, this week has been good. Sister Tew and I are getting used to each other and all that other fun stuff. For the first while we were both basket cases. She was having a hard time adjusting from outbound back to Temple Square, and I was having an interesting time with things like Grandpa Durtschi passing away and Dad loosing his job. Needless to say it was an interesting first week or so. Now we’re able to work things a bit better n stuffs.


Something that I’ve been learning from sister Tew is to write down the names of everyone we teach if at all possible. It’s really helped. Though there are still a lot of people, and sometimes we miss a few, I feel like we really helped someone instead of just talking at a wall. And I’m very thankful for companions. There have been so many times where the situation could have turned out bad (or at least me not being able to make any sense to the guests, etc) if I hadn’t had a companion to pass things off to. YAY companions!


Umm… I’m not sure what else to write about. Any questions? Things you’re dieing to know about things that go on here?


Any ways, loves ya all lots! I’m going to jet for now, but know that I love you all!



***Editor's note: For some reason the pictures didn't come through, but hopefully sister Sarah will be able to send them to me later.
