as part of the temple square mission we get sent on an "outbound" where we receive a new call to a stateside mission for a few transfers. the temple square mission president decides when we go, and the brethren decide where we go. i got called to serve for three transfers in the great montana billings mission. since the transfers at temple square were different than the transfers in montana i got to montana a week and a half before their transfers would occur. i was placed in a trio with these two awesome sisters above, sister linda willhite and sister emily highland. (this picture was taken on p-day bowling with our zone; i didn't tract in clothes like that). we lived in miles city which is on the eastern side of montana and covered a few small hunting towns not-so-near-by. i lived out of my suitcase for that whole week and a half.
it was a strange feeling to be half way through my mission but to suddenly feel so green again. it was the same wonderful gospel i was teaching but it was taught in a different way, in a different setting, and i actually got to carry my bible with me. this was the perfect situation for me to get someone emotionally settled into a new mission.
after our week and a half was up, i ended up getting transferred all the way across the big state of montana, but never forgot my experiences in miles city. i also knew that i hadn't seen the last of sister willhite.
(much more to come about montana)
