My new companions name is Sister Pabst. She is from Layton, UT. She is really nice. She is FULL of the Spirit!! I love it. The first time she knocked on a door she totally rocked! Man I'm excited to teach with her. This week has been really interesting. Sister Miller was going to be going to Germantown for at least a week, and she was going to be in a three some over there. However, President Drewes called on Tuesday night (the night before she was leaving) and asked if she would just stay here for the week. Well she was totally fine with that. I was excited until I realized that I was training two people, and that they were going to be two totally different people. That is nuts. Sister Miller is a good missionary, but her training isn't done yet. It has been hard to try and train a new missionary that is quiet and a kind of new missionary that is NOT quiet. I'm really excited to have Sister Miller go to Tennessee and for me and Sister Pabst to be in a two some. That will be nice. I love Sister Miller, but it has been really hard. I think it would be extremely hard to be Sister Pabst. It will be good. We were able to teach the Welch family the Plan of Salvation this week. It was really good. They seem to be getting it really well. We are really excited about them. We were also able to talk to them about getting baptized and why they would need to do that. It was really good. I love that family.We taught Ember again yesterday, and she is doing GREAT!! She is set to be baptized on January 23rd. Her dad is a little hesitant about her getting baptized, because he doesn't know if she is ready. So, during our lesson with her yesterday we were able to explain what baptism is and the promises we make when we are baptized. That was GREAT! And during the lesson we had planned Ember brought things up from the lessons we have taught her in the past. It was GREAT!! I think she is ready! The only down side about our lesson yesterday is that her dad didn't sit in on the lesson. Only Sister Griffith (Ember's Grandma) sat in. I hope that she talks to Ember's dad about it.That was our FANTASTIC week. I love being a missionary! It rocks my socks every day! LOVE IT!!
