Okay so I am officially the happiest missionary alive. I now am serving in the Provo UT YSA 19th stake. Yes I get to
cover 9 wards of just Young Single Adults! We cover 3 cities so our area is
pretty big. We cover Mapleton, Springville, and South Provo. The cool thing
about opening this area is it is an experiment that President is trying out. We
have to rely so much on the Ward Mission Leaders because since we are just
covering YSA we can't really go tracting. Which I am totally thrilled about. We
have been able to go to the activities the stake puts on, like institute, sports
night, and some BBQ's. In fact we are encouraged because lots of the people
bring their non-Member and Less-active friends to them.
Wednesday I met Sister
Soper and we get along very well! She reminds me a lot of Jessalyn actually. She
has such a cool story. She is from Texas and she has only been a member for 2
years. Her dad is a priest for another religion so he had a hard time with her
decision but she stayed strong. She was in the ROTC program down at Texas A&M.
She is 25 so she really wants to be here. She said since her first discussion
with the missionaries she knew she needed to go on a mission. The house we live
in is amazing! We live with the Radfords. Brother Radford is the high councilor
over the missionaries in the stake we cover, and they had their dream house
built and had living quarters for missionaries put in. We still share a kitchen
but its kind of nice because they told us not to worry about buying our own
food. We have 2 bathrooms which makes getting ready nice.
As far as work in the
area so far we are still working on it... There is a ward mission leader who has
helped us out quite a bit already. He is a teacher at the MTC so he knows all
about how missionary work needs to work now a days. The funny thing is, his name
is Jefferson and he acts and dresses just like the Ostler boys. So if you can
imagine working with someone like that, yeah its fun! I don't really know what
else to tell you because I am still trying to figure everything out. Just to
inform you I did not get an IPAD yet. Right now the district just south of us is
testing them but president said hopefully by the end of the summer all the
missionaries will have one. Love you all and I hope you are having fun with all
of your adventures!
LOVE<3 Sister Kaylynn Harrison
