With the changes on Tuesday, my life is so different! I currently live in Bloomington, Indiana! We serve on the campus of Indiana University. So it's a bunch of young people going to school and working! So strange, but really awesome! It reminds me of my training in Terre Haute when we would come to IU to do exchanges with the Sister Training Leaders! I am serving with Sister Porter. She was in Columbus when I was in Greenwood, so we got to go on an exchange!!
Some of the differences:
1. We don't knock on doors, but instead we contact people by walking around campus and taling to them! We usually ask them get to know you questions, then either invite them to church, or teach them. It's sweet. Way more natural than knocking on doors!
2. Mondays are busier than Saturdays, so our preparation day in now on Saturday! Hence the email!
And that is all I can think of...
We aren't working with any investigators right now because they are all out of town for the summer... hopefully that will change in the Fall! We are, however, working with some less active members. One of them is Alexa. She is less active in church because of social anxiety (the crowd). She came to institute and we met her there. She is so sweet and really converted to the gospel. We are working with her to feel more comfortable a church by turning on the speakers in the foyer for her to sit out there to listen! Pray that it works this week!
Last night we invited our neighbor, Wil, to play volleyball at the church. We went before him, thinking he wouldn't come but he showed up like 20 minutes after us. It was sweet! We had a good time. Campus life is so different, but it's great! The work moves so differently. Now we know our neighbor and he is our bud!
In regards to the biggest change of all... I am really sad to be gone from Sister Williams. We had a really great run, but everyone's time runs out eventually. It was a hard last night in Columbus. We stayed up way too late packing me up, but it was worth it. Its amazing all the things to learn from just one person. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful friend. NOW I get to make a million more young friends! Life is good and God puts us where He needs us to be, when He needs us there.
