In Sister Cross' own words:
Hey Family and Friends!
This week has been CRAZY! Sister Messer went home yesterday. Well, she's flying on an airplane right now, actually. But she left Don Mills yesterday. And I'm staying here! I would be surprised if I stay longer than 6 more weeks, but we'll see. My new companion's name is Sister Fisher. She's from Fiji and she's only been out 6 weeks, so I'm what we call her "Step-Mom". I get to finish training her. Of course, I'm nervous about it. But I'm pretty excited too. I know that the Lord puts us where he needs us.
Last night, the Zone Leaders called and asked us to be in charge of the Don Mills ESL program. We've already been teaching it, but he wants us to do all of the trainings and stuff as well. Sister Fisher came from an area that didn't have ESL, so I'm basically doing it on my own for now. Like yesterday, I taught all on my own. But it went really well, I think. I'm just spending a lot of time on my knees right now. Maybe that's why. I need to be humble.
It's funny, before I got out, I had 3 major fears: Trying to understand accents of people we're teaching, public transportation, and having a companion from another country. I had to face the first two last transfer. I guess Heavenly Father is helping me face the 3rd one now. I need to be humbled, so it's good. Sister Fisher says she loves just having fun, so it should be a good transfer.
Coolest moment from last week was on Sunday. We have this less-active named Sister L. She's started coming back to church and she loves it! We were walking her to the bus stop and she asked if people liked her being there. We told her of course! Which, is true. They do like her because she makes comments in class! Anyway, then she thanked us for bringing her back to church. Bringing someone back is just as good as a baptism! We're fulfilling our purpose and blessing people's lives with the gospel.
I don't really know what else to talk about this week. I'm pretty tired. P-Day should be on Monday next week, so I'll talk to ya'll soon. Love you!
