Sister Clarissa Gillins : There was a big "bump" in the Road

So I got the cutest new companion everyone! You would be so jealous!! Her name is Sister Droge!! Don’t ask me how you say it because I can’t. She is from Germany! She was "fresh off the plane" on Monday. And she is one of the most prepared little missionaries I have ever seen!

We got off on a rocky start though. We got in a small car accident. Nothing major though! And Sister Gillins is a good driver! Totally not her fault. You would know what I mean if you saw Toronto traffic. But all is well and we are safe! :)

So Sister Droge and I are missionaries in Churchville YSA. We cover 2 zones. So that is more than 5 cities. Our area is HUGE! But it is wonderful!! We have such amazing ward members. Everyone has such an amazing story! and YSA are the best! They have some of the strongest testimonies and they just want to learn! They soak up so much!!

We were able to see our friend Joe get baptized this week. His brother Jimmy baptized him. Jimmy has only been a member for about a month, so it was really amazing to see. It was probably one of the most spiritual baptisms I was able to see. The spirit was so strong.

So Sister Droge is awesome! We have an investigator who is so ready to get baptized but she is having a hard time giving up coffee, so Sister Droge was like.. “ well I love peanut butter, I eat peanut butter every day! What if I don’t eat peanut butter and you don’t drink coffee and if we both do it then there will be a surprise at the end.” Well I had to get in on this deal, so for this week I will not drink hot chocolate, which will be hard cause that is my breakfast every morning. But it is totally worth it if she gives up coffee!!

Missionary Work is the bomb!!

Love,
Sister Gillins
