Mo-town!

Sister Brown and I!

WEeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllll I done been transferred! My new companion and I have been doubled in to MORRISTOWN!!
What!!!
Ok I kinda saw it coming. I figured it would be a great sister training leader area so I guessed we would go there. I also TOTALLY called who my new companion would be, who is Sister Brown! Sister Brown came out with me! We are the same age in the mission and what is even better that we were in the same college ward at BYU!
WEIRD.
But good.
So this first week has been pretty crazy moving out, moving in, seeing all the appointments we have and calling everyone who has lived or lives in the entire Morristown area. Believe me it has been completely crazy!! In the last 5 days we have:
~called bajillions of people
~sent bajillions of texts
~taught lessons
~contacted like crazy
~planned for hours on Halloween
~gone to ze church
~directed a choir (did NOT see that one coming)
~asked the elders in the ward for help with everything.
~had three different companions
I feel like I've been going 1000% for the last few days to et the area going. Sister Brown is a hard worker and we are doing work :)
In addition to that since we are so close to the mission home we get all the sisters who don't have companions due to the fact that they are going home early, have a companion coming in from Temple Square, waiting for their parents to pick them up, etc. So in the last few days we had two different quadpanionships and a trio. Due to this we had to borrow a bed from the elders and also food because we didn't have any. Thank goodness for charity for the poor :)
So I would describe Morristown as a ritzy areas/sketchy areas. We got it all! It's pretty great :)
We've met a few families since we've been here. One is the Garcia family which is a super great family. They are from Honduras (side note: TONS of people here are from Honduras isn't that great!!) and two of them are recent converts! We like them a lot, although they are having some issues with friends. When your friends want to smoke, you want to smoke :( They are so great, thug, and we're pretty excited to get to know them better.
Hermano Carvajal is our ward mission leader and the thing I remember most about him is that you're not supposed to have Jersey pizza with water. It has to be soda. Other than that though he's great!
Lastly but not leastly we were able to have Elmer, who was baptized last Sunday by the sisters who were here, confirmed this week! He got up and bore his testimony afterwards. I've only known him for 2 days but it was seriously the best thing of my life!
I love you all! Thanks for all the love, support, and prayers. Remember to choose the right and know what you stand for!!!
Love,
Sister Reed
