What a week. I am trying to adjust to all the changes and to my new responsibilities. My new companion is Hermana Duarte. Hna Duarte is from Salina, Utah and just got to the mission field from the MTC. She is excited to be a missionary and brings a lot of really good energy with her. That’s good because we have so much to do. We have an extra hour of studies each day (a training hour), and that has proved difficult for me to get used to. I'm sure I will end up learning more from it than she will!
We had a Relief Society enrichment activity this week that was really fun. We decorated little glass bowls for the holiday season. Mine looks like an ornament, and I have to say that I am quite proud of how it turned out!
We also have our Branch Christmas party this Saturday night, so there should be some fun stories from that. Church was of course great, 56 people as a few were traveling. It was kind of insanely busy trying to talk to everyone, introduce Hna Duarte to everyone, and also set up appointments in times that we don't have available. I had a little bit of a melt-down with the schedule (It is literally so packed that we just can't see everyone this week.), but I have now made my peace with it and will be happy seeing all the people that we CAN see.
I am so grateful to be a missionary. I miss family and friends a lot right now, especially with the holiday season upon us. However, I know that if I were anywhere else I would wish that I were here. I'm so glad to be here with my Largo Branch family and to be able to share with everyone just how loved they are by their Father in Heaven and Savior Jesus Christ. I'm praying for each of you, and truly appreciate each of the prayers you offer for me. I'm so grateful for your love and support.
I love you all,
Hermana Levanger
