Driving Crazy Style

Our week in Chester has been pretty good. It was sister Milbin's first time driving over here and no one gave her any instructions or anything. it was trial by fire. Luckily we have angels surrounding us looking after us. We only have hit one curb going about 40 mph. but we were ok as was the car. It just made me really nervous but the great thing was that I was able to talk that out with Heavenly Father and he somehow helped calm my nerves. Sister Milbin really is doing so great now. She just had to get used to it. It helps a lot that we now have a "Sat Nav" satalite Navagational system. That is what the call a GPS. We have had some amazing experiences. TThis Sunday we had a surprise visit at the end of church from president and sister Preston. They just wanted to make sure we were doing all right. I was so happy that they came. I needed a president and sister Preston hug. Not because I was sad or anything, we just have had a lot to do with having a baptism and trying to figure out a brand new area and moving into a house where there have been missionaries living for the last 26 years but never sister missionaries there and it looks and smells like it, the elders did the best they could but we just have a lot to do along with being a full time missionary, I was just getting a little stressed so it was  just nice to feel the support and love of our mission president.

Love you, Love Sister Longmore

Transfer Date-Morton

Thank you for up dating me on all that is going on. I love hearing about it. I can't believe that there will be 18 and 19 year olds out here serving missions. WOW!!! If that is not a sign that the work is hastening I don't know what is.

So I bet you are wondering if I stayed in Chorley or not. Well, I was transferred as was Sister Hanson, Meaning Sister Ballantyne will be staying and getting a follow up trainer. I am white washing another area called Chester. It is sort of by Birkenhead. In fact I am in the  Morton, "or Birkenhead" district. We are whitewashing the zone leaders. I am serving with Sister Milbin. She was trained 3 transfers ago by my old companion that I served with in Birkenhead, Sister Hoffman. Sister Milbin was born in Haiti and  lived there till she was 16 then moved to ontario Canada and then went to Uni in Alberta and lived there for the last 5 years. She is wonderful and so gentle and kind. This area seems to be great. I am really excited to work with the ward. The bishop, Bishop Goble, served his mission in Draper and said he was there when the temple was being built. I will have to talk with him and see if he ever visited our ward or any place we know. Bishop wants us to get involved with the youth council, which I am so excited for. I really loved it when I was doing that. It helped me to stay involved.

As for leaving Chorley and my 2 companions, I was really sad about it. I loved that area and loved the members and miracles we were experiencing. I may have shed a tear or two a few nights before leaving. I love being out here. Missionary life is one of a kind. We get once in a life time opportunities that will never come up again. I wish it could last forever but I know that there will be a lot of other really great things to come in my future as well. I will just enjoy the moments I have here.
