My Little Greenie is Growing Up

Hello Family and Friends,

This week has been a blur. I wish I could think of some overall theme of the week for you, but I really can't - oh well.  So I guess I'll just tell you some highlights.

For p-day, we got to play a new game called “signs” on Monday. It was really fun. I love getting to meet all these missionaries that I haven't ever talked to before. It's just really fun to know new faces.

Sister Goodrich got to teach her first real lesson this week. We are teaching a girl named Kimberly. She is super sweet and I already really love her. Sis G was so nervous for it but she did great. I always love teaching with new companions because I always teach a little differently. 

Sister Goodrich also got to go on her first exchange this week. I got to be with Sister Sanders here in Kuna and she got to go with Wilcox & Adam to my favorite place in the whole world NAMPA. She loved it over there and has been talking about it all week. It's a good place -- who wouldn't want to talk about it?

Sister Goodrich also got to go to her first Zone Conference this week. Zone Conference is so much fun and I love seeing all my old missionary friends. I got to see one of my favorite Zone Leaders, Elder Denny. He is going home in a few weeks. He bore his testimony at the end of Zone Conference and made me cry. He has such a strong testimony and I hope by the end of my mission, I can have a strong testimony just like his too. 

Sister Goodrich also got to have her first "oh let's just have the missionaries do it" moment. It was one of the easier ones, thank goodness but still gave her a panic. We were in Ward Council and one of the bishopric members mentioned he was bringing his in-laws to church and they were not members of the LDS Church. They asked us that instead of holding Gospel Principals Sunday school class with the normal teacher, they wanted us missionaries to teach instead and just give the first lesson. We had some time to prepare, but still, it was a first for Sister Goodrich.  

Ok, so look at that. I guess the theme of this week after all is that my little greenie is growing up. She is already kinda a pro at this whole mission thing, but she is becoming even more of one. I love it. 

Have a great week everyone,

Love

Sister Aase
