One funny thing about the surrounding areas up here is that the in the Tanglewood ward boundaries there are two church buildings. We meet at one of them along with the Winston-Salem ward and the Piedmont Spanish branch. So we have to cross over one area and drive into another area just to get to church. So we end up leaving our area actually quite a lot.
We started out having interviews on Tuesday, which were in Tanglewood. We were the last interviews of the day, which is always nice because we're not running late on anyone so I got to have a nice chat with President Alexander. He is in an interesting position because he has only two transfers left on his mission! Our new mission president comes in at the beginning of July. Crazy!
Wednesday was our first district meeting of the transfer. Our district has one set of elders and two sets of sisters, so it's a bit smaller than my last district. And this is the first time I've been in a district where sisters outnumber the elders! It was a great meeting. Also, in our district we have Sister Willson, Sister Wilson, and Elder Wilson. President must have laughed when he put that district together.
After district meeting, we went on exchanges! I went to Tanglewood with Sister "One L" Wilson. We had a great time visiting people. We also got to do service at an assisted living facility where we baked brownies and played games. We exchanged back on Thursday.
Friday we went to the stables again, and this time I took some pictures so you could see some of the horses! You're welcome. We also had another lesson with D! She is doing so well. She wasn't able to come to church this week, but we are working on helping her go next week!
Also on Friday night I got asked to give a talk on Sunday, so that was what I studied during Saturday morning studies. My topic was "How I find joy in missionary work." It actually went very well! I shared some experiences from my mission. The basic theme that I came down on is that there can always be joy in the work. True, most of the joy comes from seeing people change, repent, and be baptized. I have found a lot of joy with other people as they find the joy of the gospel. But even when things are going wrong, we can find joy in the fact that we are doing the Lord's work, and he is pleased with all of our efforts- whether they turned out the way we planned or not.
That about wraps it up for this week. We had zone activity today so that was fun. Everyone keep being amazing!
Love,
Sister Reay
Horses!
