Then on Thursday morning we got a call from our mission president saying that we needed to pick up a sister missionary who's companion was done with her mission. We drove to a church nearby and picked her up and now we are a trio.
The new Sister in Ithaca is... Drumroll....
SISTER TOLMAN!!! MY MTC COMPANION!!! I am so happy. Sister Oleson, Sister Tolman, and I are having so much fun!
So along with gaining a new companion, we gained 2 new areas... Because they were covering an area called Horseheads and also Johnson City. So we are now working with 5 units (wards or branches/congregations) and we have so many lessons. Our days are packed! We had 10 lessons scheduled for yesterday, not all of them went through, but still.
The best part of this week was that we have been helping so many of our friends with their family history and it is so cool! We helped a recent convert find some information on her great grandma and after she found some information, a green temple icon showed up and for those of you who don't know, that means that person is ready to be taken to the temple to get their ordinances done!! It was such an amazing feeling that came when we saw that.
So an update on the Ithaca Friends, DQ and Milton are both taking a break from meeting with us because they are going to take time to read the Book of Mormon. And Barbara is working towards baptism!!
We had some beautiful sunny days and it's gorgeous here.
We have so much food because we combined apartments basically and we have the food storage of 5 people too (because of missionaires going home).
That's basically our week.
Spiritual thought: see my last email, I am continuing to invite you to work on family history. It amazing and so easy!
Love you all!
Sister Thacker
