Sister Clara Dunn: Post Transfers September 22, 2014

Hello minha familia! (:

I just want you all to know that I love you so very much!

So this week! We had transfers! Wooo! So exciting! It's always fun to see a bunch of missionaries and see who their new companions are. Guess what?! Sister Sofele just became a Sister Training Leader! Say whaaaa?! Ya. She was so nervous. Haha. But seriously, she's an amazing missionary, she's going to rock it. Sadly, we're still separated, not in the same zone.. which is a bummer. But we got to see each other last transfer, and we'll see each other this transfer because we're having another Sister's Conference (: hooray!

My new companion is Sister Hall! She is from Idaho Falls, Idaho, is 5'9" and has very long red hair. She's been out 10 months and this is her third area. Things have been going well. We're working hard and doing our best (:

We're working with a girl named Ashton. She is 17 and a senior in high school. She's taking 6 AP classes and has a job. She's very intelligent. She new a boy in our ward who just left for his mission, and so she referred herself on Mormon.org because she wanted to better know what he believed and what he is out teaching on his mission. She originally told us that she just wanted to learn and better understand, but didn't want to convert or anything. Well. She's working towards baptism on October 18 (: I'm telling ya, that Holy Spirit will direct you to all truth. It's incredible. She came to church this Sunday and loved it. It's been incredible to teach her because she just soaks it all up. It's amazing (:

I'm loving this ward. The people in it are so kind. I'm just falling more and more in love with them. There are quite a few people that I love and want to become more like as I grow up (: We got a new Ward Mission Leader this Sunday, which was a surprise! I think it'll be good. He's really a hard worker and dedicated. It'll be fun to get to work with him, Brother Haines.

Um, have I ever told you about bed bugs? Ya. Remember the saying before you'd go to bed, "don't let the bed bugs bite?" Well I always thought that was just a cute little thing to say before bed. But no. Seriously. They are REAL! Bed bugs are real things! They are so bad over here! It's nasty. And they actually do bite! I'm so grateful that I haven't had any. Cause once they get into your apartment, you have to treat it right away before they reproduce and infest everything! Creepy. We get this spray stuff from the mission to spray ourselves down with after we've been in some sketch places to hopefully kill them all. So ya, the saying "don't let the bed bugs bite" has now a very scary and creepy meaning. I will never be saying that to my children. Ha!

Hope things are going well with baby Parker! I printed off a picture that Lucy sent me last week and he is so dang cute! I love him. Can't believe we're aunts. And that mom and dad are grandparents! Whoa! Just connected that one! Wow! (: We're just a growing family! I love it.

You're the best family out there! Hope that work, school, callings and any and everything else are going well! You're in my prayers and thoughts.

I love you,
Sister Clara Kay Dunn.

Hooray! Got to see her at transfers. The coloring is silly because I forgot to change the setting. Love her (:

This is after the Transfer Meeting, when everyone is outside moving their luggage from one car to another, saying bye to everyone, and getting this situated. It's a cool experience. I love transfers.
