"As soon as my plane touched down i knew again that this is where i need to be right now! We were picked up by our mission president and his wife and we went straight to the mission home. we spent the night at a members house and went to the church to get orientation and our companions. my new companion is the cutest ever! her name is Hermana Clark and has been in this area, Sacramento 7th branch, for about a transfer. She left on her mission and got in a bike accident so she had to go home for about 3 months and now is back out so she has been out for a grand total of 7 months. and shes the greatest! she is from alpine and was going to BYU. on our first day, we had to do some orientation and then we went to our apt. we had a leccion at 3:00 so that was pretty shocking to me but it was awesome! my favorite thing to do are contacting and drops. i always get way nervous and all but then when i am actually talking to them it is okay! We only had 3 investigators when i came and this week we were able to get 9 more. we teach most of them this week so they are more like potential investigators but we will find out how promising this week! our area is too big for biking so i havent bought a bike yet because we are full time driving.
on saturday, we got to do service alllll day! we were helping at a free dental clinic and i got to work as a translator! fun huh?! also guess who i saw? ELDER JORDAN JARAMILLO!! fun huh?! it was way fun being able to see him. when i first saw him i ran up to him and gave him a big giant handshake haha ;) also Elder Braxton Gove is in my Zone! so the 801 is dominating sacramento! :) I love it here already! I love the people i serve and the ones i work with. The language is still coming but i can feel the progression so it is okay. all in the lords time. its a shame but sometimes when we are walking down a street, people murmur rude things which is way rude but i just remember the words of Horton "Let them laugh. ill try not to mind. for i have found something that theyll never find." (without a change of heart that is) hahaha! well it has been wonderful! im wonderful! thanks for the love and prayers!
Love,
Hermana Stevens"
I love her attitude! She is so adorable! I'm excited to hear all about her journey in Sacramento!
