Rejection, rejection, rejection. It's the life of a missionary!

OHkkkk well, this week has been sweeeet. I will start
from the beginning :) Last Monday Sister Thornton and I went with the Military
Relations couple Elder and Sister Johnson to the Fort Story light house which
was way cool and there on the beach there were a ton of dolphins! Ya,
I know.
Tuesday was Anna's baptism which was seriously the best experience
of my mission so far. {pics above}
Wednesday was like last minute
packing and cleaning for transfers...and then later that day I got my new
compppp!! :) WHO I STINKIN' LOOOOVE. Her name is Sister Harrison.
We're best friends. Both from Sandy, Utah. Our companionship so far has been
wild and we are just loving it. We are so tired but its that good kind of tired
when you know you are working hard for the Lord. ;)
Thursday was a mission wide
conference in Chesapeake which was SO FUN- we had about 3 hours of training
from President Baker, took a mission picture, and then had a pig pickin' at a
park near the church! It was sweet to be with all my friends and comps
from all over the mission. Me and my district from the MTC all took a picture
together. So that was tender. :) at the conference we got a mission
handbook- like the regular white handbook for missionaries except this
one is specific rules to our mission and the cool part about it all
is that it has the additional verse to our mission hymn in it! which
is brightly beams our fathers mercy :) [see below]
Friday we had zone
meeting. Sister Harrison and I were asked to Role play introducing the Book Of
Mormon and President and Sister Baker just dropped in on our zone meeting
so we chose them to be our pretend investigators :) that was a good
experience.
Yesterday our Sabbath was good-we are teaching a girl who is
married to an excommunicated member of the church, and she came and brought her
husband and afterwards he came up to us and said: "Thank you for teaching
my wife...it got her here, which got me here, and I forgot how much I love
coming to church."that made us smile :) Way good week though! I've never
been more tired or happier in my life! :)
"Chesapeake, your faith is shining, as the lights along
the shore...
Reaching out to Fathers children, guiding each to Him once
more.
Let the lower lights be burning, send a gleam across the
wave....
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman, you have rescued, you
have saved."
Xo, Sister Carlson
