So, after emailing last Monday, we went home and since we
had all been basically having a rough week, we each shared our frustrations and
things are better now. I’m still not
comfortable being the senior companion, but I’m starting to get used to being asked
where we are going, calling people, and stuff.
I still don’t feel exactly capable, but I’m getting better.
Transfers calls are next week and transfers
are on the 19th. We currently
have 11 trio companionships in our mission right now due to areas being closed
down or combined, so we may or may not stay as a trio
.
I had written Pres. Cannon about my feelings on being the
senior companion and about feeling trunky and he told me to just serve my
companions and not to beat myself up about being trunky, just to keep going, so
I feel happy!
On New Year’s Eve we had to be in my 9 and it wasn’t
eventful at all, so it was a very chill New Year’s Eve. We just visited with members.
Church was fine on Sunday, we were just really tired because
we had to get up at 5:30 am to get ready for the day. Something that made me laugh was one of our
investigators went to the wrong ward and bore his testimony during sacrament
meeting. Afterwards he called us and
said that when he had gone up to bear his testimony and looked out into the
congregation, he realized he didn’t recognize anyone. We laughed so hard!

My least favorite day was Thursday, New Year’s Day, because
it was cold and we ended up moving someone the whole time until we had another
appointment. We were exhausted.
Our investigators are doing well and we have another one who
is ready to set a baptismal date. We do
have one investigator that has gone MIA, nobody knows where he is. Well, one of our investigators who was going
to get baptized this week, is going to get baptized next week. This week I am looking forward to our
investigator Daliee’s baptism. Please
pray that she can be strong enough to make it to her baptismal day! Her uncle will be baptizing her. We just get the program ready and then the
ward helps us out with the rest.
I think I go to the temple on February 26, but I haven’t
verified that yet. Basically when we go
to the temple it is like for the whole day.
We do a session and then come back and have dinner, a devotional and
then bear our testimonies and then go back to our areas. Then we basically have three days left to do
missionary work. On Monday we get picked
up by the transfer van and dropped off at the mission home or somewhere else. According to Pres. Cannon, there are 12
missionaries going home. I know two of
the elders who are going on my same flight.
One was my Zone leader and the other one is currently the AP.
Something that really touched me today is Sis. Wright shared
with me that Heavenly Father answered her prayers and I asked her how He had
answered her prayer. She said because
she had fasted for me yesterday so that I would be able to be more open with
them.
Health wise I still have a cough…oh well. But, I don’t feel sick.
Right now I am trying to figure out what talents I have that
can help strengthen my weaknesses and I haven’t figured it out yet.
This afternoon for p-day we are playing a game called
protect the flower. I have no idea what
that means. Then we will have FHE with
the singles.
I gotta go now…
Love,
Sis. Donner
