So, in case you couldn't guess, I am now
in Wichita
Monday:
We played a card game and I won one of the
rounds! But, pday got cut short because the less active who didn't come to
church (sister Meuffle) was getting kicked out of her house and we were called
and asked to come and help! So Sister Missionaries to the rescue!
But, then we were not needed and were sent back home. When Sister
Mortensen proceeded to die on our couch because she was coming down with a bout
of the stomach flu. It's the curse of the trio's!
Tuesday
We had no car and were stranded at Taco Bell
after district lunch, So we called Khammy to have her come pick us up and take
her back to her house so we could teach her! She came, we went, and Sister
Mortensen suddenly started feeling super sick and died on HER couch. So
we just kind of stayed at her house until we had to leave for dinner.
Which is when we went out with Kate Lindsay, she is probably my favorite member of the university
ward (don't tell others that though). Dinner was SO good! And then she gave me
some of her old skirts she was getting rid of! So sweet of her!
Wednesday
EARLY MORNING SEMINARY! I don't know
how they do it, it's at 5:45 the crazies! I thought 6:20 was bad! One of
the Elders who went with us said it was his first time ever at early morning
seminary because his was release time. Craziness! We then had a team up
all day with Andrea because she is a recent convert who is thinking of going on
a mission and wanted to spend a whole day with us to see what it was
like. And then some how I was the one who was with her all day because
Sister Mortensen was not feeling well and went home to take a nap. So Andrea
and I had a good time though. No success, no one was home or would listen
to us, but hey, she wanted to know what missionary life is like, and that is it
right there. Where all of our appointments for the day cancelled and we were
stuck having doors shut in our face.
Thursday.
We were almost all the way through with
personal study when we got a phone call from president bell. His words
"it's not you sisters, you are great. But Sister Cramer and Sister
Mortensen need to pack up their bags because tomorrow you need to be at the
mission office by 9 am. Sister Stewart in Auburn Hills in going home so
sister Cramer is going there and sister Mortensen is going to Pratt"
Sister Payton is still in Lawrence
Saying goodbye is never easy
Friday: the stereo in our car was broken
in our 3 hour road trip down to Wichita
Saying Goodbye to Khammy. Not an easy thing to do.
My new companion's name is Sister Taylor. She is from Sandy Utah, likes
to read and is very quiet, shy and tidy. Which is very different from
Sister Payton who is a LOT like me in the
sense she is a loud walking tornado that leaves laughter and messes in her
wake. But Sister Taylor is awesome! She has been on her mission for
13 months and you can tell by the way that she has a lack of enthusiasm for the
work. BUT SHE CAN DO IT! I am working on helping her be bolder! ! When I got here, NO
investigators because there was award boundary change and they lost all of
their investigators to the other ward. And now? We
have two! One was Francis and one was Karen.
I am so hopeful. I feel like sister Taylor Wichita
Me and Sister Taylor
Where we live: So our ward covers a bit of
west Wichita, a kind of small town named Goddard and a bunch of little hodunk
towns west. We live in Goddard and I love it! It is still a decent
sized town and small and quaint like a Kansas
town, but still nice, no accent and most people seem to have their teeth unlike
most Kansas Kansas
Saturday: We knocked on LOTS of
doors. Most people said no, everyone is catholic and only one person said
we can come back. But you never know! We went to Women's conference at
the Stake center, and the most awkward part? I saw my Aunt. Which is cool, but
I can't focus on family on my mission! Just seeing her made me think about home the whole conference instead of what was
going on in front of me on the screen. And then afterwards my Uncle who
was in charge of making the broadcast stream in the building came and talked to
me. Super weird. The downfalls of having family who live in the
mission. On our ride home, with a member was this sweet old lady, who never realized
when a lane was ending and we almost drove on the sidewalk about 4 times!
Sister Taylor thought we were gunna die!
Sunday: ONLY THREE HOURS OF CHURCH?! I
couldn't believe it! it
was so short. Our ward is super great. They love
missionaries, but, they don't give many referrals is what I hear. But
they announced I was new in church, they have our names in the program and what
days we were not being fed so people would know to sign up. That was new.
So, we need to work on going "you love the missionaries, and that's great.
Now go find people for us to teach, because that's what the prophets say
members should be doing" here's to hoping.
Sunday night, a past investigator who is
our neighbor knocked on our door after having told us earlier to never come
back, and she came over to apologize! Apparently she was putting on a show for
her sister and wants us to come back because she has tons of questions. Sister
Taylor couldn't stop smiling!
I really love it here. I think we
were put in a trio for a week because they knew the sister was going home soon
and needed to put us somewhere. Because I had felt for a while that I was going
down to Wichita Bell
MY NEW ADDRESS:421 Craig St Kansas
I
kinda, might of, looked over sister Taylors
I know that the church is true and that
president Monson is the true prophet and I am so grateful for modern
revelation. It's there and heavenly father wants us to know what's up in
this modern world! Never forget that!
LOVE YOU!
Sister Robyn Cramer
