I AM IN GEORGIA!!! A lot of things have happened this past week!! Tuesday afternoon I arrived in Georgia!!! There was 4 other sisters that arrived as well. We were picked up by some missionaries at the airport and stayed the night at President and Sister Needs home(the mission president and wife) My mission president is super nice, talkative and loving.The next day after training I met my companion. Her name is Hermana Anderson and she is really cool. She is from Virginia, loves to craft and keeps it way real. Hermana Anderson was baptized when she was 16 and is the only member in her family as well. She has been out on the mission since the beginning of December so this her 4th transfer. (A transfer is every 6 weeks, then you either move to a new area or receive a new companion.)
I am currently serving in Centerville Georgia! It is at the top of my mission. This zone goes into the other mission (Atlanta Georgia North Mission)so we work with some of the North missionaries at church. This area is super busy with people to teach. We will find people through referrals or through our Facebook pages. Hermana Anderson and I are the only Spanish speaking sisters in our area. We are also in an English ward, so every other week we switch between the two wards! We are currently teaching around 19 different people! So every day we have around 4 lessons. It is one of the busiest Spanish areas in the mission!
On Friday we made cookies to take to some less active members but they ended up being super gross haha. So we made rice crispy treats instead cuz can't go that wrong with 3 ingredients😂😅 When we stopped by to one of the houses the mom swung open the door before we could knock and invited us in! She was super excited to see us and called her two daughters out to talk. They are from the Bronx of New York and moved to Georgia about 9 years ago. They are a super humble family and also wayyy sassy hahaha! At the end of talking the mom said "now you better come back again to talk to us and share a message too!" So we are planning on going back this next week which we are super excited for.
There are a few things that I have learned about Georgia. 1 is that it is real humid and moist here haha. 2 is that EVERYONE is so open and loving. When we walk through the store or even to our car people are always asking how we are doing and starting a conversation!
Sorry that this email is long but I truly hope everyone is doing good. If anyone ever needs anything let me know:)
