Dear Friends and Family,
I
have come to learn that the only thing you can really expect on a
mission is that things are going to unexpectedly change right when you
start to become comfortable. But that's life I suppose.
I
think I mentioned last week that we are teaching a Chinese lady name
Jenny. It just so happens that we have a few "visa waiters" in our mission
who are going to Taiwan so they speak Chinese. One such vise waiter
also just so happened to be serving in the Otter Creek area which
is pretty close to Pinnacle Mountain. So we talked to the Mission President and got
permission to take this Sister with us when we teach Jenny. The problem
was we were driving to get her every other day and so we finally we
said we either need more miles or we need her. We got her! so Sister Johnson
has now joined Sister Hosea and I in Pinnacle Mountain. YAY!
Sister Johnson is from Salt Lake City. She is 22 and graduated in Business from Southern Virginia University. We already all get along really well and I am so excited to work with her. It is fun to be back in a trio. Every time we sing hymns Sister Johnson sings in Chinese, Sister Hosea sings in Tongan, and I sing in English. I'm sure we sound terrible but it makes us happy :)
Speaking
of Jenny, she is doing really well. She loves the gospel and loves
learning more and more. Sister Johnson does a very good job at
interpreting when we teach. Though of course I don't speak Chinese so I
don't really know how good she is. But Jenny seems to understand so that
is all that matters. Sometimes Sister Johnson tries to teach us some
Chinese and every time it just makes me so grateful that I didn't have
to learn another language.
We had a really good specialized
training this week. We are changing the way that we have been doing a
few things in order to get back on the straight and narrow. Why? Because
according to an official email sent to President Wakolo by the mission
headquarters the iPads are coming in May! I've been promised an iPad for
about 9 months now so I'm trying not to get my hopes up but still
exciting.
As always thank you for all that you do. I truly appreciate all the support that I get each week.
Love
Sister Aase
