January 4th -- New Area

Hello Hello everyone :) This week was very hectic but i am finally in my area and all is well!

The new missionaries were supposed to get into Halifax Tuesday night at 12:30, so we get to the airport at 1am only to find out that there flight got cancelled and they were stuck in Minneapolis. So we got home at 2am and then got up again at 4am to take another sister going home to the airport. so basically no sleep...woohoo! Then long story short, the 10 missionaries arrived overtime on 4 different flights and we finally and them all rounded up by thursday night. My "replacement" came on thursday morning so they kicked me out and i spent a day in Sackville and got my new Greenie on Friday night. So we never actually got to our new area till Friday night at like 10pm... So i have only been here for 2 days! But so far so good! 

My new companion is Sister Hotchkiss, She is from Iowa and she is awesome! We are getting along great and she is basically pre-trained..... So we are going to have a really fun 2 transfers! AND she loves to cook... BONUS. 

The ward seems great so far, there are already 3 young women who have decided to be my best friends haha  The potential in this area is amazing. Wolfville is a college town, everyone goes to Acadia, so the town is still a little dead due to holidays but it is going to bumpin' here by next week! So they may have kicked me out of the YSA but my focus still gets to be on students :) 

I am so excited for this new year. There is such a great vibe during this time of year as everyone reflects on how they can make this year a new start. New goals and plans allow us to come closer to who we desire to become. Yesterday during church i was reflecting on how blessed we as members of the church are, because we don't have to wait for a new year to get a fresh start, but each week as we partake of the sacrament we are able to get that new start as we use the power of the atonement in our lives. How remarkable is that??? Each week we are able to reflect back on the mistakes made and the changes we are going to make in the upcoming week. Allowing ourselves the ability to progress more rapidly. 

Thank-you to everyone for the emails! The learning curve here is a struggle, took us 30 min to get into the church to use the computers haha so my email time is short, so don't hate me if i don't get back to your email this week! 

Love you all :)
