Sister Sophia's Florida Fun: White Friday

Hi everyone! It seems like just yesterday that I emailed home. Probably cause it basically was. The last 3 days have been very eventful to say the least.

Wednesday morning we left bright and early to head down to transfers because Sister Oliveira had to be there early for the training meeting. While they were there we headed over to Broward County campus to OYM. It was really fun and we met some cool people. Then we ate some Chick-fil-a for lunch and headed back to transfers where I met my new companion, Sister Dorlean! She is straight from Haiti and learning English but she is awesome. She is the only member of her family and is so strong in the gospel. Also, we have the same first name so that's cool :) I got to see some of my friends and then we headed on back to Boynton Beach. That night we had dinner with Sister Anderson at Olive Garden. It was way good. I haven't had that in a long time. Then we went shopping and headed home to unpack.

Thursday morning I ran a 5K on the treadmill in honor of the Thankful 13. Then we had a zone council on the new Light the World initiative for this December. If you haven't seen the videos yet I invite you to go check them out! Its going to be a really good year. Then we had some studies and headed to dinner with the Jensens and the Hanks! We played some rugby outside with their son Carter while the food was being prepared. It was really fun and well needed. Felt just like at home. That night we started out the Christmas season caroling at Walmart. We got kicked out but it was fun nonetheless. :) I cant wait to get to spend time singing this transfer. It's going to be fun.

This morning we got up nice and early and Sister Mikee took us to the temple! It was a much needed trip. And it was even better when my trainer Sister Kaylin Bingham showed up!! Greatest surprise. I know today is basically over already but I invite you all next year to spend black Friday at the temple. It's much more fun and you receive eternal blessings from White Friday.

I hope you all have a good week this next week! Because we went to the temple today, our next pday wont be until December 3rd so I will talk to you then!

All my love,

Sister Beckstrand
