Dear Family,
Life is good. Crazy, but good. My companion – Sis. Halladay and I agreed that she’s going through a missionary mid-life crisis. She hit her half way mark on the 1st and since then it’s been hard, especially since the ward doesn’t appear to be progressing much. It is. It’s even better than when I first got here, but it’s is challenging.
Last week was transfers and sister Halladay and I were worried. We both wanted to stay and most people thought we would stay, but it’s always up to the Lord. We’re both thankful that we are staying together. It’ll be the longest amount of time that I’ll have with a companion. I’m excited because, I’ve been learning so much from Sister Halladay. She’s assertive enough to lead and help me know where to go and what to do, but laid back enough to let me be myself and learn for myself. She’s so funny and we get along every well.
It’s been a slow couple of weeks. Our investigators aren’t progressing as much as we’d hope, but we’re still praying and doing everything we need to be doing things will improve as time goes on.
I got a letter from Lizzie Shattuck. She’s serving in England and having fun there. It’s fun and kind of weird to hear form people back in Hollister. I don’t really keep in touch with people there.
It’s interesting. I worry for the ward and the people we teach, but I’m usually able to stay calm and not lose sleep because of it. I’m very thankful, because I have hard time with no sleep.
How was everyone’s Christmas and New Year? What did you each do? Anything fun?
Oh, are we still planning on having a family reunion when I’m doing with my mission? It’s still a ways away, but now it’s this year instead of next year.
Anyways, I love you all lots! Be Happy! Do missionary work!
Oh and there’s a talk called “The Missionary Next Door” and just listened to it today and it’s REALLY good. If you have a chance to listen to it :)
Love!
<3 Sister Sarah Durtschi
