Jenn on a Mission

 It is Raining Cats and Dogs Hi Family!   So this past week has been a pretty crazy week for sure. We just get to Petersburg and try to get settled only to turn around and catch a flight to Juneau. Elder Peiper from the seventy was coming to Alaska to meet all the missionary's and to hold a fireside with each stake and wanted to meet each missionary in person. Well as you can imagine for Alaska this meant alot of traveling as it is a well spread out state, in our zone alone only 6 missionary's reside on the same piece of land. We are all spread out on the southeast part of Alaska so it was pretty fun to actually get to meet the missionary's from the zone as some of them I had never met before.   Elder Pieper taught us some amazing things that I will take with me for the rest of my life. The way he held both the fireside and our conference was by asking us questions and then spending time answering them. He gave some good insight about how to do personal study a...

Adventure of Petersburg Hi Family and Friends!   This last week has been a great week, and full of different experiences. Last week after we hopped on the ferry we realized that we did not know who would be meeting us when we got there. So we made a few phone calls to try and figure it out, well come to find out they did not even know we where coming! We finally got ahold of the RS president who is the wife of the branch president (this place is very small) and she told us she would meet us at the ferry doc at 5am in the morning. The ferry ride was great as we were able to sleep most the time, becuase thankfully they got us a cabin to sleep in.   When we arrived we joined Sister Marsh at her house for seminary, there was only 3 kids there. She proceeded to tell us that is all that comes every morning for seminary. I thought wow, Moapa is really big compared to this place. We then realized that we had no place to live as no one had coordinated that for some reason...

Hanging out in Juneau Alaska! Hi Friends and Family!   Wow what a crazy two weeks! Right now I am sitting in Juneau Alaska with the Juneaa sisters waiting for our fairy to take us to Petersberg Alaska. We got our transfer calls yesterday and they called and told me I would be opening up a new area with Sister Davis(not the one I just served with, crazy there are two!) in Petersberg Alaska. So pull out your maps as you will have to in order to see where I will be located for the next little while. It is on of the many islands that is along the southeast side of Alaska and is very small. I am guessing it may be a tourist hot spot of something, I have been told that it is very beatiful there. I will let you know next week after I arrive and the adventure begins.   Leaving Wasilla was pretty heartbreaking for sure, I pretty much felt like I was leaving my second family. I have come to love the members there and am really going to miss being in their home and around them...
