So the big news is...
DON'T SEND ME ANYTHING IN THE MAIL THIS WEEK BECAUSE IM GETTING
TRANSFERRED!!!!
I'm going to East Jacksonville to an area called the Mandarin
2nd
Ward. My new companion will be Sister Gagnon, who is super sweet
and
served in the ward next to my current one about 3 months ago so
I knew
her! This will be her last transfer, so I will be
"killing" her. :)
I'm so excited! I will miss Normandy but I really am excited to
go out
there. It is a bit intimidating though because I'll be serving
in the
ward with the Assistants to the President and the mission
president is
in my ward! Scary!! But it will be fun.
This week was a very good week!
I attended my second funeral ever which was for the oldest
member of
our ward, a 96 year old man who was absolutely adorable. But his
funeral was pretty good.
Sister Smith and I ran into my very first baptism, K on the
street
when we were walking. He hasn't come to church in about 3 months
and
so we talked with him for a little while and took a selfie. I
cried
afterwards because he just looked so different. People need the
gospel!!!!!!!!!!
But we also met a man that day who was really nice to us and
let us feed a banana flavored Popsicle to his pot bellied pig named Oliver. He
was so cute!
We thought it was pretty cool.
The elders had a baptism this week and the mission president
and his wife came!!! I didn't know then that I would be serving in their ward
but we got a nice pic :)
I got some goodbye pics with some of my favorite people in
the ward which was good, and Bishop made us take a first presidency pic, I'm
the prophet.
But he's weird and visits all of his old missionaries
regularly haha
So I'm sure I'll see him in a few weeks anyway.
Well, I'm so excited to transfer and I'll let y'all know all
about it next week!
Much love,
Sister Caton
