Companion: Sister Boatright
December 6, 2013
Oh my goodness I don’t even know where to start!! It feels
way longer then almost two full days that you guys dropped me off! So for
starters I haven’t taken any pictures yet......I know I know. But it’s kinda
hard because you aren’t aloud to take your bag to most places except your
classroom and the times you do have your bag you’re rather pressed for time but
I promise I will get some for you. In my district there are four
companionships, 2 elders and 2 sisters. My Companion is Sister Boatright She is
from St George UT. Our roommates are Sister Despain and Sister Thurston from
Illinois and Alanta. Me and my companion are both head to Virginia as well as
another sister and three elders from our zone. And the rest of our zone is
headed to salt lake west or south. Which mission is Elder Brooks Serving in?
The Elders in my District are Elder Meaker (Washington) Elder Munton (muntin, Riverside
Cali) Elder Gladhill (Illinois) And Elder Stevens (I can’t remember right now) I’m
the only Canadian in my zones as of Tuesday ...one of our zone leaders Elder
Anderson is from Barnwell, Alberta. The Canada jokes didn't start till last
night/this morning cuz I said bag and so now Elder Munton and Meaker say it the
I do. Also Elder Meaker decided that he was going to call me Sister Calhoon cuz
it’s funny and reminds him of the best two years. And not even a day and a half
in I have a nickname (aside from Canada and Calhoon) and its district mum! (I don’t
tell people what to do I just know where to going and where they put stuff.)
Random fun fact out of the 8 people in my district 4 of us are left handed 2
elders and 2 sisters. I've seen both Elder Wilsher and Pronk but I haven’t been
close enough to talk to them and haven’t seen them since the first day. Super
cool there’s a brother and sister here from England that reported the same day!
How cool would that be!! I met an elder from Brisbane AU and his sister is
serving in the Calgary mission I don’t remember the last name but I’ll let you
know when I remember! It was funny cuz I was talking to the one elder the
rest of his district where standing behind him and they are all from either Australia,
Fiji (which is where they are headed) or UT and so when I mentioned that I was
from Canada they brought out the usual "eh" joke. I just started laughing
and then with as much a straight face I could you I said " No...not where
I'm from." and then the missionary who said it kind a looked sorry and
asked if it wasn’t funny and I replied laughing that no it was funny it’s just
not something you say in Western Canada its more eastern that says that. I do
have to say that people teasing you cuz your Canadian is so much better with an
accent (I've had a few similar experiences to this one with different elders
from all over the world.) Mum have you ordered my ring? How did the kids take
me leaving? any ideas of how I can sleep better I’m having a bit of trouble
with that! I got to see one of the elders from the District videos he works
here on campus now. I feel like there is so much to tell you (which there is
but it’s all stuff that is really hard to put in words for me) I love you all
very much I hope you have had an amazing rest of the week.
Stay sweet
Sister Cahoon
p.s. I'm a STL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey! That's so cool..It sounds like things are going fabulously! Crazy enough could the Elder from Brisbane be called Elder Bogart?? Because we have a sister in our ward here in Coventry and she is from Brisbane...Very cool...Love you heaps and heaps!!! xoxoxoxo
