Leaving Winter Garden (Week 20)

Arald family minus Halt

Hi everyone,

The Transfer Doctrine is I am getting transferred, and Sister Bernier is staying.  You could probably tell by the title of this email.  I don't know where I am going yet.  I will know tomorrow, so I'll email you all next week with the news.  Sister Bernier's new companion is flying into Florida today.  She gets to train!

Fruit Ninjas almost spell the end of Sister Burnier

Last Monday the sisters played Fruit Ninja.  We were given oranges by Sister Coulter (a less-active in Winter Garden).  Elder Davis had a katana sword.  Sister Shafer tossed an orange to Sister Owens, who hit the orange and cut it in half.  Super cool -- but the sword left the handle and flew towards my companion!  It almost killed her!  It didn't hit her though, so we are good.  It was super fun, but we decided it wasn't a good idea to do again.

We had interviews with the president this past week.  It was good.  He asked me to think about who I want to be at the end of my mission.  I think it is important to know who I want to be, so I can become her.

I love Winter Garden.  I took a lot of pictures of people yesterday, but I won't be emailing all of them.  In a way, it is sad to leave.  Winter Garden feels like home.  It hasn't replaced Clarke Farms though; I still love you guys.  I feel home here, which I guess is good.  I am afraid that I won't feel that way about other areas.  In another way, I feel excited about going to a new area.

I meet with Doren, and she is super cool.  She is an investigator now; she plans on coming to church next Sunday.  She is Brother Hicks's friend.  Many of you probably have seen the picture of Sister Bernier, Doren, and I on Facebook, since Brother Hicks posted it.  For those of you who don't know, Brother Hicks used to live in Dove Valley when I was part of that ward.  However, I don't remember him.  Anyway, he told me he pictures my parents with their scout uniforms on, since they are big scouters.  I think it is funny, since it is so true.  Thank you, Sister Nuttall for giving me a hug through Facebook.  I love you.  You're awesome!

The best kind of Heart Attack!

Some one heart-attacked us on the perfect day.  It was a miracle.  We hadn't had a good day and the heart attack brought a smile to our faces.  However, the day I took the picture isn't the day it happened. :)

Mom's spice package makes Saag a crock-pot delight!

Mom thanks for the spices.  Mirth thanks for the apron; I have been using it a lot.

Miracle:  I got sick last Monday night.  Because of the president's interviews, Sister Nelson (one of the senior missionaries) was able to give me a prescription.  The timing was just perfect.   The next morning (Wednesday), I felt good, and that night we went to bed early.  I have been better ever since. The Lord helped me recover quickly.
