I am now back in SPAM town, Austin Minnesota!!! With my MTC companion, Sister Pierce!!!
who would have thought! I really am super excited to be back here
though! It's been fun seeing all of the members again and their
expression when they see I'm back. I've never had so many double takes in my
life! haha. Apparently no one ever comes back to Austin once they leave. But,
if they knew my track record of being a missionary, this wouldn't be a surprise
to them because I tend to be the odd duck when it comes to where I go. It keeps
me on my toes that's for sure, I never know what is going to happen next!
As for now I've been settling back into
place just fine and the work here is exciting! This area is now a zebra area,
which is missionary lingo for doing english and spanish work which I absolutely
love. There are a lot of Africans and Micronesians here along with our Hispanic
friends which adds to the adventure of teaching. One thing I've learned to love
here is culture. You learn a lot and come to appreciate all human life. We
truly are all brothers and sisters.
We are working now on what is called
NACI (the North American central initiative) which works with getting the ward
more involved in missionary work with those who are "in the ward, but not
of the ward" and we are super excited to see where this goes. There's a
lot of work that is going to be done the next little while, but we can't wait
for it! Missionaries love work and when we've got a project like this, it's
like Christmas every day!
Well this ones going to be short and
sweet, but there will be more to come next week!
Love you all! Keep praying for missionary opportunities!
Love Hermana Ficklin
