Our Trio is Down to Two!!

Dear Family and Friends,

This morning we woke up to ice and snow! We are officially snowed in but luckily we live with members who are letting us use their computers so you still get to hear from me. However we are lucky missionaries because most of the other missionaries will not have the chance to write home today (my heart goes out to all the missionary moms who are freaking out right now - glad you don't have to be one of them)  I still can't believe that we have snow today. It was 75 degrees on Saturday. Beautiful weather for Valentines Day.

The weather was not the only unexpected thing that happened this week. On Tuesday we got a call saying that Sister Anderson was going to be transferred to Conway on Friday to take Sister Kalahiki's spot when she left. In the words of Timon from The Lion King "Our trio's down to two." We spent Wednesday and Thursday packing Sister Andy up, driving her around to say goodbye to people, crying, and telling each other that it was all going to be ok.

Thursday night we headed to the mission home where I had to say goodbye to Sister Anderson and Sister Kalahiki, who finished her mission and is now home in Hawaii.

So I am now the solo trainer of Sister Hosea. Training is hard and stressful especially when you have to do it by yourself.  The song by Michael McLain "You can make it on your own" suddenly had new meaning when I woke up Friday morning.  Luckily she is awesome and so training all alone isn't bad at all. President Wakolo told us on Thursday night that this would be an opportunity for both of us to grow. It has only been like four days and I can already tell that we are both growing and becoming better. We have stepped up our game.

Also we get to see Sister Anderson this Wednesday at Zone Conference and she is spending her last P-day with us so really we just said see you later not goodbye :)

Despite all that craziness we still had missionary work to do. On Valentine's day we spent the day "heart attacking" members of the ward. It was so much fun and we only got caught once. By the end of the night Sister Hosea and I were pros. Sunday was super special. Trina was there! YAY. She has been unavailable for almost a whole month and it was the best Valentine's gift to get to see her in church again.

I hope everyone had a wonderful week. Thanks as always for all the prayers and love and support!

Love

Sister Aase 

Best quote of the week. 

Brother Burleson: Joseph Smith is like Justin Timberlake. You know because JT brought sexy back and Joseph Smith brought the gospel back. hahahaha
