Happy Spring! -- 25 March 2013

I don't know how the weather has been in Utah (or anywhere else you, my loved ones, live) but we got 6 inches and counting overnight!

This week has been pretty great! I have officially been in Fishers for a week and a half, and I love it! I am loving my companions and my roommates. It feels like we have all been together forever! We get along so great, and they are helping me very much! The one thing I am struggling with a little bit is that 2 of the sisters in the Fishers apartment are in training, and 2 were MTC companions who came to Indiana 6 months after me. Everyone keeps making comments on my age, and how close I am to being done!!! Grr!

PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION RIGHT NOW!!!!

I am not ALMOST done! I still have 5 months, and I want that to be a long time!!

That is all.

In other news, President and Sister C came with us to a lesson with an investigator. It could not have gone any better! The spirit was so strong! We studied and prayed so hard for that lesson, and what we wanted to help her accomplish, and we did it! President and Sister C came in and bore simple and powerful testimony that the things that we were sharing were true, and that this is the one true church on the earth today! It was so cool!

We also went on exchanges this week, and that was pretty great! I went to Zionsville for the day, and had so much fun! It amazes me that every exchange is different. This one I went in not really knowing what to expect. This exchange, my focus was on helping this Sister know how amazing she is, and how much the Lord needs her. She is a strong teacher and has a powerful testimony and a lot of desire to grow! She is so great! New best friend! Love it when that happens!

"And that's all I have to say about that."

I love you all! Hope you all have a wonderful week! Talk to you next time!

Love always,
Sister Hill

Transferred... -- 18 March 2013

And in a trio!!!!

And we are the best trio ever! My new companions are Sister A and Sister O. Sister A is training Sister O, which means the she is the senior companion technically. Weird. (It's weird because my MTC comp and I are the most senior sister missionaries in the whole mission.) So all that means in this mission is that I am no longer the designated driver, which I don't mind as much as I thought I would!

We are just having a blast here! I have been transferred to Fishers, IN. Very rich area. I am serving in the first ward, and there are also sisters in the second, so guess who is sharing an apartment!!! 5 sisters. 4 loads of laundry. 3 former companions. 2 trainees. 1 apartment full of fun!!! We are laughing SO HARD!!! We are all going to have rock solid abs by the end of this transfer!

A funny story (might be TMI for some so just skip ahead a few paragraphs) that happened: The three of us, were sitting in our bedroom at the end of the night planning. Sister T (yes my former companion from the YSA) knocked on our door, and was asking what our plans were, and if we were using the car (yeah we are sharing the car with them too) very much the next day. All of a sudden we hear from the other bedroom: "No. No! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!! STOP!!! SISTERS! ITS NOT STOPPING!!! HELP ME!! STOP!! HELP SISTERS!!!!"

By this time we are all literally rolling on the floor dying of laughter because we knew exactly what was going on. Our other roommate had clogged the toilet, and her plans to fix it resulted in a flood! I finally pulled myself up, because we didn't need the carpet getting wet and molding. I ran to the door, and told her to turn the knob behind the toilet to turn the water off. She had no clue what I was talking about, and right before I walked in the toilet finally flushed! The entire bathroom had an inch of water in it, and none of us could breathe enough to help her clean it up! It sounds like we are terrible people, but if you could hear this sister's voice, you would be laughing too! (She sounds like a female version of Kronk!)

Anyway, we are having so much fun, and already don't want this transfer to come to an end!  I love you all, and hope you have a great week!

Love always, Sister Hill

I'm Being Transferred -- 11 March 2013

Again.
Surprise. Surprise.

Haha! What is mission life if not always changing?! I have really enjoyed my time in West Lafayette. I kinda thought I would be here for my last 4 transfers, but I guess the Lord has other plans for me. So just for this week, don't forget to send any mail to the mission office in Carmel (like the candy), not to West Lafayette. (I will get it quicker. This is all about me don't cha' know?)

Amazingly, I have lucked out, again, and am not training! I don't know how President pulled that one off, but I'm not. Maybe next transfer.

This week was pretty great! We had a Sisters specialized training again! This time instead of staying the night at the mission home (cause there are too many of us), we just met at the Fishers chapel. It was so much fun! I always love getting together with all of the Sisters! It is such a spiritual boost! I am both excited and sad to see more sisters coming out. It's harder to have a close relationship with 60 sisters versus 18. But this time it isn't about me, and I am so excited that the work of God is moving forward!

Well, family. I love you a lot! Have a great preparation day!

Much love, Sister Hill

What a Weekend! -- Tuesday, 5 March 2013

Two Words.

Elder. Ballard!!!

Oh, my amazing! You can just tell he is a special witness of our Savior! The whole time, all I could think was: "How lucky are we to have living prophets on the earth today?!"

Well, friends we only have a short time! Know that I love you, and I feel your love and your prayers!

Love always!
Sister Hill
