Sister Surprises

 Sorry for the delayed post. I've had company.

Our newest sister (until today) was Sister O, from California.

She arrived on Feb. 19. She has been out about 5 months.
She is the oldest of 8 children and is now paired up
with the oldest of 7 children.
(I have a thing about observing characteristics of birth order)
I'm sure the "O Sisters" will be a dynamic duo. 

Sister O (from California) knows how to play the piano very well,
which, of course, makes me very happy.

 I took this picture because Sis. O (from Washington) got this new scarf and

she looked so pretty with it on. In addition to being a powerful missionary, she knows exactly how to tie scarves,
and she has quite a few of them. She is very stylish.

 One Sunday afternoon there was a baptism and

low and behold, I was so surprised to see Sister M

come walking in through the front door and standing right there there in our living room!!! She had come to attend the baptism, but for me,
it was like a 10 minute missionary reunion!
She wasn't here long, but it was long enough for a hug....

 Sister O (the new one) has taken to

snacking on spoonfulls of peanut butter.

She says she didn't ever eat it like this at home,

but says that surprisingly,
it is pretty tasty this way....

Our final surprise is that today we got

a brand new sister!

We now have our 3rd trio.

She is Sister W, originally from Germany,

but says she has lived in Utah for the past 3 years.

This is her very first area. She said she has been on her mission

for 13 days! I can't wait to get to know her better.

We have an international missionary house here.

Since August we have had missionaries from Tonga, Mexico, and now Germany. We are getting a world-wide education housing these missionaries!
