We are teaching a lady named Jeanice who is the most prepared person of all time. I know that I have never done anything in my life right enough for me to be able to teach her, she is so prepared. Beyond prepared, talking to her you'd think she was a member all her life. She frequently says how she only wishes she would have met the missionaries when she was younger. The Sister's meet her the week before I got here. We teach her everyday, and she is getting baptized on Saturday. She bore her testimony to us after reading 2 Nephi 31, and talked all about how she knows that getting baptized is just a step, that will help her endure to the end, and enter the temple. She loves the temple. She's 65, 108 pounds, and maybe 5'0", and I love her. She has some health problems and her only fear in life is not living long enough to enter the temple. Praise to the man, where do you find someone so devoted to the Lord than little Jeanice?
My new companion is Sister W, she was raised in the military so moved all over, she's so sweet, she writes poems, loves everyone, and bears these beautiful edge of tears testimonies, and we work great together. She's really good at the passion, and I'm really good at the facts so we bring great balance to each other.
There is so much work in this area, and it's perfect. I prayed and said that I only want to work in hard areas, that I only want to work so hard for every miracle, and that is this area. There are so many miracles to receive if we do that hard work, and we are excited to work.
I love my new area, I love my new companion, I love being a missionary. I miss everyone but this is right."
