I AM ON AN ISLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and also Happy ❤ Day!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my word I am thoroughly in love with Vancouver Island, even though I miss my latinos terribly. The ferry ride here (about two hours from the mainland) looked like literal National Geographic. I was very nearly incapable of doing my studies because my forehead was up against the window, in awe. Sister Chandler is the greatest, our YSA Branch are homies, and I love love love getting to work with all the cute sisters out here.
Sis Chandler and I cover both the Victoria and Nanaimo zones, so some of our sisters are a two hour drive from us which is a bit of a struggle. But we did get to drive down there to minister to them which was two hours of loveliness driving down the coast. Totally felt like I was driving up the canyon back home, except then you get a little break in the pines and realize that actually you are on a cliff over looking the Pacific Ocean??? And you just are thrilled???? Ah, too bad my pictures do nothing justice.
Our week included loads of running around and working with sisters, which meant I got to start working on my Chinese and also Russian. Prepping the cutest ever SHAE for her BAPTISM this weekend. She has had about a million little encounters with the Church over the past few years and pretty much I'm the luckiest missionary ever because I showed up in her life for the grand climax :) She and Jen (another recent convert, they're besties) took us to this little dive diner called Floyd's in Victoria this weekend for lunch to celebrate her passing her baptismal interview. Too many good things came of this, namely me finding a family from Ecuador to practice my espanish with and also they were playing "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2 and my heart was the happiest. Shoutout to Dad. And good music in general. Not EFY music, sorry not sorry.
Hey. Happy Valentine's Day guys. There are loads of people I love here but the vast majority of you are nowhere near this island so just know that I am sending all kinds of love from the Great North and super, super grateful for every one of you. AND I SUPER HOPE YOU CAN ALL FEEL IT.
Okay byyyeeee talk to you so soon!!
