Well I have a new companion! Her name is Sister Murphy and she is from North Carolina. It's been nice only having one companion! hahah After transfer station we went home to drop off her suitcases and came back out and saw our tire was flat!!!! Is this a sign of how our transfer is going to be?! lol just kidding :) But thankfully the elders came to our rescue and we were able to make it to our dinner :)
It's been a bit crazy trying to focus just on the West stake and getting everything running again after being over both the East and West but its going good :) Our mission president has started this new thing for August called "Walk and Talk August" where as a whole mission we are aiming to reach a goal of talking to a million people! Sounds intense but we are all pumped! I never really realized how much I love going up to random people and talking to them. It's day 4 of this and it's been great! The hard part of this though is that we have hardly any kilometers given to us this month to drive because he obviously wants us walking EVERYWHERE. I hope the weather is good this month! haha
I had the coolest experience last night. On Sundays we are pretty much at church from 8 am till 430 pm which means we have no time to study in the mornings. So because of that we would go home a bit early and study that night. As we were driving home to study I had this womans name keep popping up in my head (she was a referral we had got the other night) and the thought wouldn't go away. But I was tired and wanting to go home so I kept driving. But as I got to the driveway I decided we needed to go see her. Her name is Jolanne and she is a less-active and this was our first time meeting her and she just opened up to us and told us how grateful she was that we came by. I just felt so connected to her and as she cried about how she felt like she could never be forgiven for her sins because she has made too many I ended up crying with her! Just meeting her once I love her already and can just feel the love that the Savior has for her. She invited us to come back and even wants to feed us dinner! I have been praying to be more in tune with the spirit and to recognize those promptings and I am so grateful I listened!!!
I am excited for this new transfer! I love being a missionary and being able to share the gospel. There is nothing better than that! I challenge you all to share the gospel with at least one person this week :) Have a great week!
Love,
Sister O'Dell
Not sure which way to go!
Flat tire!
Sister O'Dell and Sister Murphy
