Everything is going well here! I am slowly adjusting to the busy schedule. There is something to do just about every minute of the day! And since a lot of it is inside, both Sister Carter and I have been a little starved for sunshine. Our district is great--we all get along well, and we're able to mess around and talk, but still focus when we need to.
Slowly, I am coming to see the Spirit more in my life, and I'm also learning how to have more effective study and prayer. One of the hardest parts for Sister Carter and I is separating the actions of personal study from companion study. I've also been learning some humility and how to follow someone else's lead; since Sister Carter is the senior companion. I have so much trouble not taking over and leading study time, but I know I can learn to follow her lead or the Lord would not have put me in this situation.
One of the most interesting things I've observed about the elders in my district is they way each companionship complements one another. It's fascinating to watch them learn and grow, and I can only strive and hope that Sister Carter and I are doing the same thing.
So far, I haven't run into too many people that I knew from before. I have seen a couple familiar faces, from classes and such. One elder, I met during LSH, and it's Elder Shaner, I believe. I have a hard time with not just using his first name--it might be a little weird if I accidentally do, because I'd say "Elder Jacob..." Too close to my name!
It's been great having Sister Haire down the hall. I did take pictures with her and she gave us a lot of good advice! Anyway, I think I'll stick to one page for now. Love you all!
Sister Jacobs
