So... Transfers... I'm training a new missionary again. Completely stressed to be honest. Her name is Sister Dunn, she's English.  She's a lot older than I am; it will be a challenge. Sister Smith is also training this transfer, so I must have done something right before.

I had to go to the mission home Tuesday night for the "Train the Trainers" meeting. So we travelled over that way Tuesday afternoon and I said goodbye to Sister Fortuna and she was off to her new area (Newtown) that night with her companion. Then some of us that are training stayed in the flat near the Manchester chapel (there were 7 of us in the flat, crazy!) So that was fun! Then we went Wednesday morning to transfers to pick up the new sisters. We got stuck in traffic last night for over 2 hours. It snowed and everything just went into a stand still. So we got in the area and had a bit of tea and then hiked up to the Bishop's to let Sister Dunn meet him and his family.

I'm really stressed about everything. I'm already second guessing everything I do. It's a lot different than training in a car area. I fail at contacting people on the bus, I just find it so awkward to talk to people on the bus. I am supposed to be teaching her to just suck it up and do it, and I can't even do it. I can't very well be a hypocrite now can I? So I dread the moment we get on a bus later today. Also, there are so many Muslim people in our area... majority. They are lovely and nice, but just not interested most of the time. So we have no investigators and so we just find and find and visit less actives and find... Just trying to stay positive about it all.

Happy Valentine's Day though!

4 sisters left yesterday; they finished their missions. It's weird to think about because that leaves only 3 sisters out longer than me in the mission. The rest came out with me or later. Weird! I had one Elder who was going home yesterday ask me to write him.... that was a bit odd, but we'll see.

Well, I don't have a whole lot else for news. I don't know, I'm just a bit scatter brained today. Pray for me!

I wrote a letter to a Professor I had at BYUH who is now retired, I asked what he would suggest for my schooling. He said I should go back to BYUH because he says that is what I need. I'll keep praying about it though and see what the other BYUs have to say as well. I'll keep May in mind though.
