It has been the CRAZIEST week! It feels like it's been months but I've only been in California for a week.
I actually met an elder last week, Elder Dahl, from Medina, OH! He knows the Kings, and the Taylors, and the Denbors. He's the sweetest.
My trainer is Sister Larson. She's super great. Two sister Larson's in a row. Haha. She's from Lehi. It's a party working with her all day. We are serving as the La Jolla YSA sisters and we live right behind the Temple so we meet with investigators there a lot for lessons. I could not have possibly been more blessed with a better trainer, area, or ward. We have a great time with the members. They're all pretty old for a YSA ward because they're living in La Jolla and all have big boy jobs because it is Expensive to live here!!! And they really like the social aspect of "going out to eat" so we get treated pretty nice. Everyone is like obsessed with the missionaries. The only down side is our whole apartment complex is infested with spiders......like big fat papa spiders with massive webs and egg sacks. We have like 7 bottles of windex so we can kill them from afar. There's also a cricket living in our stove top. We can't really find him but he's super loud! We named him Lars.
There was a baptism already on my first Saturday in the area! She is super amazing! Her name is Sara. On Sunday another girl came up to us and told us she wanted to get baptized. Her name is Leilani. She is so amazing. She's in the Military and grew up Southern Baptist. She investigated everything herself and is dating an older member in a family ward. She's practically teaching us! So we're meeting her every day this week and hopefully we can have another baptism on Saturday! It's been so amazing!
I love you!!!!
Love Sis. Pilkington.
PS Sister Pilkington is hard for people to say apparently, so explain it like "milkington" but with a P and I use milking hand jestures.... like milking a cow...with udders.
PPS Oh...Paige, my SUU roommate....her cousin is my Zone leader! and his Companion was friends with Justin, and probs Thomas, in the MTC! Cray Cray!
