Hey there!

It seems like I haven't emailed in awhile!

Things are good! The Square is s..l..o..w  until 5 and after that it is crazy! NO room to walk or sit or anything!

I think you already know that I have a new companion and well her name is Sister Ennis! We were companions for a week in the MTC for Visitor's Center Training! So fun and I am excited to be here on the square during this season!

 

Yesterday our trainers got back from outbound... I cannot believe that they only have 2 transfers left and we are going into our 5th! Time sure does fly!

Well something that I learned last transfer is to be bold (still working on that!). With the sisters leaving they gave us some advice. One sister said "If you are grateful then there is no reason for you to be scared." I loved that! Even if something scares us we can overcome it because if we have a grateful heart we will thankful for all the opportunities we have to share the gospel, and all fear and doubt is pushed aside!

My companion and I were asked to talk in one of the Salt Lake wards this Sunday! They want us to talk about serving a mission and about Temple Square! We are excited!

Well this week has been crazy with moving and transfers, and guess who is here?! Sister Dani Wardinsky! She seems to be getting the hang of things.

I love you all and hope that things are great!!

Tidbits from Abby::::::

Abby guesses that Alayna will have a boy!  (She was wrong!  Alayna is having a girl!)

The Temple Square sisters do not get to go have Christmas with a family like they did for Thanksgiving.  They will do something as a mission in the morning and make phone calls home before noon.  Then it is business as usual.  Last year the square closed for Christmas Day... this year they will be open. 

I asked her if she had been told that she would go outbound next transfer... here is her reply:  "The next class only has 6 and then us, we heard that they send a lot out after Christmas. So that is why we think we will be going, but idk."

She and Sister Ennis will be working the West Gate of Temple Square.. I asked her what they do there...
"West gate are the ones to let the sisters know about tours and movies. We text it out to the mission and stuff.  We have a glass cubical by the TAB so guests can come and talk to us if they would like tours and such!"


She gets to go to the Christmas Concert tomorrow night!!!  She is excited about that!  She enjoyed seeing Santino Fontana in concert with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir this past summer.

A while back I won a Christmas pillowcase in the Missionary Momma's group I am in on Facebook... Alexis Bagby made it for Sister Tuckett!  She only lives about 15 minutes from Temple Square and offered to hand deliver it to Abby! 
She found her on the Square on Saturday the 6th!  She LOVES it!!!  She especially loves that her name is on it!
Thank you Alexis!!!
