I am here....

I’ m here..... I am in West Valley Utah, 30 min from Salt Lake Utah. I got to go to the temple this morning, a live session, it was wonderful, despite the fact that I kept falling asleep. I am tried most of the time......We did extreme street contacting; the first person that we met, my companion talk too,and she said yes to a hard commit ,which is will you be baptized March 14. Crazy!! Her name was Apothany or something like that. Her sister goes to church all the time and she goes with her occasionally. So she took her name, number, and address so they can prepare her for baptism. She never had the missionaries over before. This is on the sidewalk near Temple Square. We left Book of Mormons and pamphlets to others. I did not talk much. My trainer has only been out 4 months and I think that she is scared out of her mind to train. I am confused about what is going on most the time. I don’t feel like a missionary yet,.....I prayed about it and I got the impressions to just watch, listen, and learn.

It is weird that I knew who my companion was going to be before I met her. I was waiting in line to be interviewed by the Mission President and he has pictures of all the missionaries in the mission and the ones that had no companions next to them I assumed that they were to be the trainers. There was a picture of sister Morris and all the other sisters and I just had the thought that I think that I am going to be paired with her. So when we were making all the guesses I guessed her. She seems really smart and has a really strong spirit, think that she just got caught of guard that she was going to be a trainer, for we had nothing planned for Wednesday night so we kind of drove around for 3 hours seeing if some investigators were home and if some of the Ward Mission Leaders and Bishops were home. It was hit and miss, but mostly miss. I did get the package and loved it. Thanks papa for the gum and candy it was my breakfast and lunch today because I did not have any other food. Don’t worry we went shopping about an hour ago.......,Love you all thanks for all your love and support and thank the people in both wards for their thoughts.

Love forever and for always, Sister Schwarz
