Still in Whitefield...

Hello!

I am still here in Whitefield with Sister Howell. We had Sister Doherty in our companionship for the last week. Sister Doherty is serving on the Isle of Mann, but since Sister Davis left a week before the transfer ended we were in a trio. Sister Doherty is from Australia and has been a member for a year and a half. She has a lot of drive and determination, which is great. Being in a trio was a good experience, but it will be good to go back to being a duo as well. I think it will be a little more relaxing.

We have started teaching a man named David. He is a local, and we found him one night when we were tracting some houses. He drove by and asked what we were doing. To be honest, both Sister Howell and I were confused about what he was asking. However, we got into a conversation with him about the gospel, and David said, “Yeah, I need to know about this.” We have been teaching him for a few weeks now, and he is doing great. It is always funny to be around investigators because they do not always know the missionary rules (well to be honest not many people do, members included). David is always offering us rides (or lifts as the English say) and the concept of preparation day is a bit foreign. He is great though because he is very accepting and appreciative of the time we take to meet with him.

Besides that, things are continuing to go well. I had a wonderful birthday. I received a few more cards and things this week. It was a good birthday. We went and had pizza at the senior couple’s apartment and watched some mormon messages. We also made some crepes. It was a good day.

Hope all is well on the home front. Thanks for all your love and greetings.

Love, Becca

p.s. This first picture is from my birthday. These are the girls that were at the celebration.

This next picture is of Sister Doherty, Sister Davis, me, and Sister Howell. As our zone leader called it, it is the “Davis clan.” In the mission, we call trainers the mothers and the trainees the daughters. Hence, we are all related in a training family. (Not sure if that made sense, but Sister Davis is both Sister Doherty’s and my mum, while I am Sister Howell’s mum. Hence, Sister Davis is Sister Howell’s grandmother.)
