Well. Coming back to an area is literally the weirdest thing.
I really just don't know how to feel
about the whole thing! But I am so
grateful to be with Sister Streetman. She
is going to be my saving grace. She is
from Highland, Utah and went to Lone Peak same as Sister Hogge. The person she trained is now with sister
Hogge so our babies are together!! This
is her last transfer so we get to help each other out. We are super similar and
getting along swimmingly. Neither of us
really know how to do this Sister Training Leader thing but we're figuring it
out haha. We already have a Zone
training tomorrow and had literally 2 days to prepare for it, but I think we
are going to pull it off! With the help
of the spirit.
It's been a crazy week! Monday
I said goodbye to the Ewings and Randy and Tuesday we had a breakfast with
brother Phillips. Because of it being
Stake conference on Sunday I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to everyone
that I wanted to :( It was sad. but it's okay I will see them all again in
time.
Also I totally forgot to mention Kate last week! She is literally the nicest person alive and
drove us to transfers and just does everything for us. Everyone needs a Kate in their life. I love that woman.

Thanksgiving was different, but good. It just didn't feel like Thanksgiving at all!
We went to a women's shelter and served Thanksgiving dinner to them. It was really neat to talk to them. I talked with one woman named Violet for a
while and she was really interested in what we were doing. Before they left she told me she was going to
write about me in her journal that night. Made my heart happy.
We had Thanksgiving dinner with the Budays. Mitzi Buday and her son were baptized earlier
this year. I actually was at Mitzi's
baptism because it was combined with Latasha Horton's baptism who S. Tuala
taught. Like I said it's weird being
here. Her husband hasn't joined the
church yet, but comes every week. They
are the nicest people ever. It was just
the three of them, us, and their friend Daniel. It was a little different because I really
don't know them at all but the food was good and we all shared what we were
thankful for. We ended up leaving the
Budays much earlier than anticipated and we had no idea what we were gonna do. Also I didn't get any pie at the Budays. We tried all kind of things and it was
literally turning into the worst day, but thankfully a new young family to the
ward invited us over and guess what they had? PIE! And we played this really
funny game with them. It turned into a
great day!
Oh here is a funny story. So we were tracting and then we see the Elders
pull up in their car and they said that they would go somewhere else because we
were there first. So a little while later we were seriously probably a half
mile up the road by then and someone lets us in because it was freezing outside
and they were nice and so we were talking to them and teaching them about the
Book of Mormon when there was knock on the door... and guess who it was. The Elders! And Steven and Faviolla were like come on
in! So of course the Elders were so
excited to be let in and then he opens the door all the way and they see us and
literally their faces dropped it was so sad but hilarious. So they left and it was just so hilarious. So yesterday we split up the area so that
won't happen again. hahah
We are struggling to find people to teach, but working so hard. We both can see there is so much potential
here. Keep praying we will be able to
FIND this week.
Also, our car is a mini van so just imagine me driving a mini
van and that is bound to put a smile on ya'lls faces.
Also Birthday shout out to my dad. he is literally the coolest
guy I know. 60 years young and still kickin'
LOVE YOU ALL
Sister Dearden
