What a great transfer this has been. The new one starts tomorrow and I am so excited and sad. Sister McKee leaves for the beautiful island of Bermuda tomorrow. I am very sad/happy for her because I am selfish and she is getting the greatest new companion ever! Ok I said that last week but they are going to do some serious good work down there! I can't wait to hear how everything goes down there!
As for things in Bay Shore next transfer things are going to be great! My new companion is from Hawaii and she looks like the sweetest girl. I can't wait to meet her! Actually the training call story is pretty funny and Sister Mckee tells it way better than I do so here it is straight from her. She wrote this in her email home and wasn't completely honest about the stuff at the end but we'll forgive her :) "K so I'm just going to tell you guys our "Best Two Years" moment because we found it hilarious. So we're sitting there after planning on wednesday night just talking to each other and telling each other how much we're going to miss the other one bla bla bla yes we're both mushy so it works out. Anyway, we get this call from the elders in our district and our district leader was like "Guess who's training?! My companion haha" So we were really pumped because our district leader's companion is really great and takes care of everyone so he'll be great. Well then our district leader starts making fun of Sis. Hamblin about how she's going to get a call any minute because she's totally going to be training and what not so I was like "Oh my heck. Pres is calling right now." He hangs up immediately and of course we both just start laughing because he wasn't really calling. Anyways, we get talking again about how great we are and then Sis. Ham was like I need to go to the bathroom! So she jumps up and heads upstairs. Right when she closes the door - the phone starts ringing. The caller ID read: President C Personal Cell.... Do you know what that means?! So I'm like "Sister Hamblin president is calling!" She's like no he isn't you're lame. I was like no really!! He's calling!! I was like fumbling up the stairs literally tripping at the top to tell her and she's like well answer it! So I realized how long it'd been ringing and finally answered it and - due to adrenaline - pretty much yelled "Hello this is Sister McKee!" Haha anyways, he just starts asking me about Bermuda and how things are going and everything then he's like is Sister Hamblin there? I'm like yes she is (holding back from laughing which is the hardest thing for me you guys know that) haha so I give her the phone and this is her (she is hilarious when she talks to people with authority over her) "Mm hmm.... yes... yes I can do that...(I'm laughing on the stairs)....yes sir I can....( she's making the "be quiet" sign to me with her eyes)... yes..Okay bye. (hangs up) are you kidding me!?! Training?!" Hahaha i lost it. But where was I going with this... oh ya so the reason I put aloha is because her trainee is from Hawaii! So I'll have to figure out her last name and how to stinking spell it and then maybe Jordon (her brother who served in Hawaii) will know her or her family. That'd be crazy. Anyhow, I'm so excited for her and more than that I'm excited for her trainee. Sister Hamblin has that "motherly" nature about her and is so great at taking care of people and loving them even if it's tough love sometimes."
Yeah I don't know if it is as funny to you as it is to us but we were both laughing so hard and I couldn't breathe for like an hour. We had to walk the halls of our apartment building for like thirty minutes! We would've gone outside but it was late and we wanted to be safe :) Life is crazy and I love it!
Today we had a really awesome experience. Sister McKee and I were both struggling to find quarters to do our laundry with so we both said separate prayers and asked for a miricle and guess what?! We got one. The perfect ammount of quarters showed up in my bag and Sister McKee dropped two quarters and went to pick them up and there were four there! Heavenly Father is truly amazing! We are so blessed!
