This week was pretty
slow as far as the work goes. Sister Pierce did a lot of packing, and we both
did a whole bunch of cleaning and visiting people in preparation for her going
home and me getting a new companion. We drove down to Rapid City Wednesday night
and stopped in the Badlands, so I can officially say that I've been there. It
was so cool! It felt sci-fi-y.
BADLANDS...SOUTH DAKOTA
SISTER CLARK LOOKS LOST IN THE BADLANDS
NOT ALONE AFTER ALL!
We spent the night
with the Mount Rushmore sisters in their apartment, and then I sent Sister
Pierce on her way on the transfer train the next morning. It was a little sad,
but mostly I'm happy that she gets to see her family again. AND, she got to go
to the temple right before she left, which was the first time since leaving the
MTC that she was able to do that. The cool thing about Thursday was
that I got to hang out with Sister Cavey all day until the transfer train came
back down from Bismarck.
SISTER CLARK'S LAST GOODBYE TO SISTER PIERCE
When it got closer to the
time for the train to come, a bunch of missionaries were waiting at the church,
and we all decided to play ultimate frisbee... it's hard to get into it while
wearing a skirt, though; but doable :) AND THEN, finally, at around 9:30,
my new companion arrived. Her name is Sister Stone, and she's the sweetest
thing! I'm training her for the next 12 weeks. She and I get along pretty well so far :)
The mission reopened
the Chaimberlain area again, which is in our district, so we have more missionaries
at district meetings now. I'm excited for that, because now we can have
district lunches! Food is always good.
That's pretty much all
of the big stuff for this week. Love you bunches!
Sister Clark
