Where in the Mission is Sister Thomas Going?


So, Saturday night was Transfer call!!!  Up until Friday night I thought Nanto and I would stay together in Kitsap Lake, really thats what I hoped, but I knew after that night I was gonna leave....the only question was where, I felt like Tacoma since I've been sick so much and I'd be closer to the Weavers, and well I was right!!!!.....I'm transfered to the Highland Hills, Tacoma Area!!!
I'm really excited but also nervous b/c I hate change!!!  What's cool though is that Highland Hills is the AP's area, and we're the first Sisters in the area, and you may not know this but people, especially women, LOVE SISTER MISSIONARIES.  Elder Parry one of the AP's said he had never seen a Bishop's wife more excited in his life.  So, I know we'll be loved.  My companion is Sister Crosby, who came out the same time I did, I don't really know her, but everyone says I'll love her so I'm praying we'll get along well, I was super spoiled with Nanto.  I'm really sad to leave Kitsap Lake though....We had finally started picking the work up, and we have so many strong investigators, and it made me feel good because tons of people, I didn't even know well, came up and told me that I helped them alot and they would miss me....I really needed that b/c I felt like hardly anyone would care, so that felt good!!! 
Oh Family! I told Nanto that when she goes to UVU in August that she should come meet you because you would love her and she'd love you, so yeah....she may come knocking on the door one day!  She doesn't leave til July so you've got at least til then :)
Well, this last week has been really hard.....like extremely hard.  On Wednesday we were texting Ty, and all of a sudden he started getting inappropriate, like sexual harassment inapropriate.  So we asked him if he knew he was talking to the Sister Missionaries, and he said "YUP!"  We then told him we would not meet with him anymore.  It was awful, I have never felt so objectified as I did then, and it really affected Nanto b/c of things in her past.  We then saw Danille and we ended up having to tell her about it....she said it was the last straw and that she was kicking him out.  We heard from Jamey Housman in our ward that they had gotten into a huge fight, the Cops were called and Ty had escaped out the back window.  We asked if he thought we were in danger and he said, "No, that wanna-be wouldn't try anything, plus I talked to my friends that are still on the street and they're watching out for you, plus you've got me"  Man, it's good to have an ex-gang leader as a ward missionary....We knew we'd be fine after that!! 
Oh, fun news!! We did this March Madness thing with PMG, and we got to go Bowling if we did it....so today we went bowling!!!  And guess what, miracle! I got over 100 every game!!! It's so unusual!!!  Well, I can't think of much else that happened this week, it was kind of a hard stressful week,but it was fun too!  Well I hope you all have a great week!! I love you all very much and I pray for you everyday!!!  I LOVE YOU!!!
Sister Thomas
