Good-bye Valdosta! Transfers - December 8, 2014

Hey Everyone!

 Transfer time again and this time I got the call!!  I guess I have found and done what I was needed to do in this area!  It took me a little bit to get accustomed to this area, but it has now been really good. Made good friends, I even got the Elders to take out our trash consistently!  Very gentlemanly of them, although it helps that I made them cookies a lot and they bent our vacuum, but it was a good arrangement!  This has been the most "Southern" area I have experienced since being out here but we worked hard and now there is a great group of missionaries ready to carry on and be obedient and do good things!  Since there is a shortage of Sister missionaries the remaining two sisters will be in the Young Adult Branch and the Elders will be in all the home wards.  Both Sister Wheelwright and I will be traveling to Macon tomorrow as we are both getting new areas.  There is a kind member that will drive us since neither of us will be returning the car will stay here.  I have met and worked with some awesome ward members.  The Robinsons are a family that has been so great to us!! They have a daughter serving in the Salt Lake mission, right now she is in Stansbury Park area.  She has been out for only 3 months, so they have a soft spot for the missionaries out here. 

     Well this has been quite the week! Monday we had a great lesson with Tina and her daughter. They are doing really great. Then on Tuesday we had an awesome lesson with the part member family! He totally got baptized on Saturday. It was awesome! Ok and then funny story that happened on Tuesday. So on Monday we got a media referral who wanted a Book of Mormon. Her name was Shamika. I don't know about ya'll but when I think of the name Shamika I think of a black person. I mean, I have met quite a few black Shamika's. So we go to contact this person and this white guy opens the door. I was thinking ok, this guy is white, but Shamika is still definitely black. We ask for her and the guy points to this white girl sitting on the couch! We were totally shocked! A white Shamika. Anyway we ended up teaching her and she is going to come to church with her family this next Sunday! Too bad we won't be there, that is the hardest part to leave investigators! Then on Saturday Chris got baptized! It was super awesome. We got to skype the temple square sisters in so they could watch! It was all super awesome. This year we got to see the Christmas Devotional because the Robinsons had some investigators over to watch it with us!  Last year we did not get to see it since there was no investigators with us.  Sister Robinson took pictures of us and sent them to you Mom through text.  I am going to miss her and their family.  Her husband is the Branch President of the Young Adult Ward.  I never did get to go to the Alligator Farm that was here, it was always raining or we were busy, so as of yet I have not seen an Alligator!! Thanks for figuring out how to copy and paste some of Calebs email/blog letters since I can't open blog sites. Caleb has done really well with his letters, lots of good information and letting us all know how things are with him (Gage will be proud of Calebs letter information abilities)  and now he is in PERU!  Glad at this time he is doing well ! Crew did a super job decorating our tree and I hear his brownies were a hit that he made all from Scratch, no box, sorry though about losing track of time and getting in trouble.  I am kind of in shock and I don't know what else to write. Sorry if this is a pathetic email. I don't really know what else to say. We were saying good-bye to lots of people yesterday! I am really sad I won't be here for Christmas, the Robinson family had a way awesome Christmas Day planned and we were all set to Skype from their computer!  That's alright, Heavenly Father has another plan and I'm excited to see what I am needed to do and where I am going to serve!! Well my brain is not working very well so this is probably about all you will get today! Sorry it's so short! Have a good week everyone!

 Love,

Sister Price
