Week 76

So you want the low down on transfers? I'll give it to ya.
I have no companion. My area is the entire mission. I am in charge of scheduling my flights to all the islands. And I have to do it all in 5 weeks.
Boom.

When I got to Guam on Tuesday I went to the Sisters in Dededo Central area who are acting as my chauffeurs and 'home base' between flights to all the islands. Sister Cragun and Sister Tantiangco. That night the Zone Leaders called with a message from President. They said he wanted to let us know that I am not their companion, and Sister Tantiangco is still the senior companion. And I am not an active Sister Training Leader. That was all I knew. Okay....

Fast forward to Wednesday and two senior Elders came to our house to drop off my bed and a note from the mission office. The military relations elder was wearing dark shades and handed me a note with my name written on it in pretty cursive and, as he was leaving, said "this is from the mission office." With curiousity and excitement and the james bond music playing in the back of my head we opened the envelope and I pulled out a slip of paper that read "Sister Felt, President Poston would like to visit with you Friday, Jan 4th at 12pm in the mission office. Call if you have any questions! -Sister Van". What mystery!! What excitement! What could be in store?

Turns out, I'm on "Special Assignment". Two other sisters, (Milne and Memmott) have been 'traveling Sister training leaders' before. But they had their own companions and areas. I'm the first to not have an area. and i think i'm the first to have to figure out my own schedule. president even said if there is time he'd send me to Chuuk for a couple days if he can.

I made my schedule and this week I'll be traveling to Yap to visit the Sisters there. Next week (after p-day) I'll hopefully (if we can get a plane ticket... pray for me!!!!! We're trying to get one right now) head off to Palau with the Postons and visit the Sisters there and join their Zone Conference. After that I'll go to Kosrae, and then Saipan. Pohnpei and Chuuk are still in the air, president will let me know if he would like me to visit those islands. But the rest I'm in charge of making sure I get there. Crazy!! It's been really fun and serving in Guam with the sisters here has been amazing. A great culture shock for sure (lots of philipinos and they like to talk, a lot. oohhh geez it's been rough haha chit chat is hard to get good at again! I forgot how to do it while I was on Pohnpei). I'm focusing on looking for the good in others and being a light to all I know. Wish me luck! I'm trying to change my very nature and it's a painful painful process. But it's also wonderful :)

Love you!!
Sister Felt
