Hello!! I am here in CA and LOVE it!!!
1. My new address is: 170 West Duarte Rd, Arcadia, CA 91007. This is for letters and packages :]
2. My new companion is Sister Ence... LOVE HER! She is from Salt Lake City, she got her AA before her mission, she loves basketball, the Jonas Brothers and same kind of movies as ME!
3. We are "white washing" the area which means that we are both new to the area. We are in Glendale, CA. We get to look out and see LA, Glendale and Burbank from certain areas of the mission!
4. We don't have any investigators which is REALLY frustrating BUT it will be GREAT when we do get some!
5. We have a LOT of inactive members so we are starting with them when we aren't knocking doors.
6. Knocking doors... not gonna lie... LOVE IT! We rarely have anyone ask anything but OH WELL! We give them cards and someday someone will be excited and ready to hear our message :]
7. You can email me pictures on here and so I can look at what you all look like and how you have changed. Check the blog if you want to see how I have changed :]
8. We ran into our first J-Dub yesterday and WHOA! She was CRAZY but I mean she had valid points but not willing to let either of us talk... oh well!
9. My President is GREAT! The first two questions he asked me when I had my interview were 1-What is your purpose as a missionary as stated in the Preach My Gospel 2-Do you have a boyfriend. Apparently those are the two most important things to get to know about someone. BUT he is a food scientist which I was SUPER excited about and he worked with checking on the shelf life of food. Like how long its nutritional value lasts... thought it was pretty cool!
10. Sister Pike is a SWEET lady! First day we go here they both picked us up and the four new sisters and her got to ride together to lunch. We got LOST!! So funny. She is so sweet and you can tell she has SO much love for all of us!
11. The pikes gave every missionary a temple recommend holder fort eh Arcadia Mission with Christ on the front... so nice of them!
12. We get to go to the LA temple every 6 months! I don't know yet when that will be for me but I'm excited!
13. My companion and I have some funny stories already! 1-we were in a ghetto street and it was night time and we get to the car and it wont start... we were like oh man! So we called the car missionaries and they said they would call us back in a few-we hang up. Then we get the manual out and I have NO clue what is going on. It just wont turn over or anything. Then Sister Ence goes, "Oh" She had put it in drive somehow and it wouldn't start! hahhahha
14. My companion is waiting for me so I have to go BUT I miss and LOVE you all!! Keep me posted on how everything is going with your life!!
15. I know this church is TRUE!! Everyday I get to share that with people even if it is just a brief moment before they shut the door in my face :] I know it is true with all my being and am SOOO grateful for the opportunity to share it with the people of CA!
LOVE YOU!!
Sister Arbogast
