So there's this dumb thing a lot of missionaries like to do
where we combine the names of companions together to create one big super name
because..you know...we need something to do while we're walking around the
streets. So my last companion and I were known as Swinkle to some of the
families here. Last Wednesday was transfers! And guess the heck what!? I got
two new companions, Sister Loveland (who's been out for 9 months and just came
from South Jordan) and Sister Ricks (who just got out of the MTC Wednesday, and
we were friends up at BYU-I!! Like she lived in the apartment above me and we
walked to class together sometimes and stuff!) and we are having a BLAST. One
family that I'm close to has given us the combo of Loverinkle. I don't think
it'll last, we have to find a better name for our tri-panionship.
Sister Loveland and I are both training Sister Ricks, it is
so exciting to be a trainer and to take over our area!! On Monday night I got a
call telling me that I'd be training and I felt so happy because this
responsibility makes me feel that the Lord really trusts me. Then I found out
we were training Sister Ricks and I was ECSTATIC!! They are both incredible
missionaries and I love teaching with them!
This is like the only picture I have of them. Sister Ricks
was a little dead. OH! And that's our new bunk bed in the background. Exciting,
isn't it?
You know you're a good missionary when you're this tired at
the end of the day.
The work is on FIRE since we got these two new sisters here!
I can't believe how much we've accomplished in just half a week. Doors are
opening up where before they were closed tight. Figuratively and literally.
Haha. We have two people two are planning to enter the waters of baptism this
month and next month and
I'm sure there are many more people that the Lord is
preparing for us to teach.
In other news, the Super Bowl was last night. So for dinner
we went to a family (one of my favorite families here, actually) that's super
nerdy and we had a Super-Bowl-food-minus-the-actual-Super-Bowl party. We pretty
much ate nachos and candy and talked about how much we don't like football. It
was awesome.
Well, that's all I got. I'm going to go to Walmart and buy
some milk or something.
I love you!!
Sister Hinkle
Oh, ps, here's a picture of the Salt Lake Temple from when
we went to Temple Square a few weeks ago that I keep forgetting to send. It
might be crooked, so flip it if you can, haha
