Hi family :) Holy toledo does time fly. I can't believe it is already halfway through March! Man, I am so excited that my birthday falls on Easter this year:) It hardly ever does & of all years, I am grateful it is the year I am serving my mission! It is a tender mercy for sure:)
So a little bit about Sister Jensen. She graduated with me & she is in her 2nd transfer. She played water polo at a Junior College and she is from Southern California. She is a tomboy & she has so much energy! She is a hard-worker. :)
I definitely miss Woodstock. It was such a special place. It was hard saying goodbye... there were some tears but the people and memories I made there will never be forgotten.
Columbia is a lot different, but it is great:) About 45 minutes from D.C. so everyone's job who lives here "does computer stuff for the Government" hahah. You turn the corner and you are suddenly on the freeway. Freeways everywhere! Haha. Since we share a car Sister Jensen and I literally almost started walking on a freeway the other day hahah. It was so funny. There are so many busy streets & businesses. I was in a small town for a long time because I was shocked to see that there was more than a Walmart! Haha. The ward boundaries itself are a lot smaller than Woodstock because of the population:)
The members here are awesome:) They are so missionary minded. I can feel that there is so much potential in this area. I am excited to see all that will happen during this transfer. Especially since it is 7 weeks and longer than normal.
Saturday, a lady named Lisa called us who said that we had given her a card. She totally came to church! That never hapens!! Hahaha it was really awesome. We are excited to start teaching her.
Also Small World! Sister Beurger who is in this ward gave us a ride home a couple nights ago. We started talking about BYU and she said her major was special education. I told her that was my major & we found out that she was totally my T.A. for the intro class last year at BYU before she moved out here! Hahahah. Small world for sure:)
I love you guys so much. I am so grateful for the infinite atonement. "Repentance is possible, forgiveness is certain." We can truly change every day. It is worth it. Have a great week:) Xo Sister Stolworthy
PS- here are some photos from Woodstock.
