Well. Well. Well.
Kind of a crazy week. Let me break down the new numbers for you all.
Transfer #9 of 12.
5 more months.
4 more transfers. (6 weeks each).
3 more seasons.
2 more....ugh. I'm stuck. sorry. Non-parallel structure.
Well, the week started with me dropping Sister Kemsley off at the airport. I felt like I dropped of one of my vital organs. I love her so much!! (I know you're reading this....no...I'm not crying. But maybe later tonight....) (How does it feel to listen to Iron & Wine and wear pants?)
So I have a new companion!! Sister Yao!! From Taiwan. She's wonderful! Very different from Sister Chen from Taiwan. By the by, (thanks Nicole for the phrase-ology), Sister Chen was a GIFT. I learned so much from her. We got to enjoy every single day. VERY happy 6 weeks for me.
Sister Yao is from Changhua, Taiwan. She has 2 younger sisters. And for fun, she used to make sell steering wheels. Needless to say, she's driven. :) This is her last 6 weeks. She also breathes a little heavier than usual if she's thinking. We laugh about that together often. We are serving together as Zone Leaders for these next 6 weeks. So, we've got a some new responsibilities and assignments. ALWAYS busy. More meetings. And a lot of really incredible learning. I am really learning SO SO MUCH.
SO...for the miracle report...5 out of 7 days this week, Sister Yao and I met Danish people. No joke. I hope you are all realizing that the amount of Danish people I meet is amazing. There are 5 million people from that country. And only 150-200 sisters at Temple Square...which, is in the middle of UTAH. (Not my #1 tourist spot when visiting the US). But hey. They come here. I meet them. We hygge. It's a miracle. I really feel like Heavenly Father is letting me return a lot of the appreciation and respect I have for them.
I'm working on feeling that way about everyone I meet. I wake up every morning and put on a name tag that says, "Sister Harmer". I told a darling couple this week that every morning, as I put that on, I am reminded of HOW my Heavenly Father wants me to treat other people. I am LITERALLY their sister. In a very sweet, spiritual way. Can you imagine if everyone treated each other like brothers and sisters?
Call me a Beatles-loving hippie. But I love it.
AND HEY!!! A little Bay Area love!! Missionaries (like me) opened the San Francisco Giants game the other night!! YAY!!!!
I love you all so much. So grateful for my friends and family. I am SO SO fortunate to have so many DIFFERENT and amazing people in my life. Truth.
Thank you!!
LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Sister Amy
