Courtney called from the airport today! It was so nice to hear her voice. If I hadn't been looking at the clock I would have guessed the 49 minute conversation was only 5 minutes. Time flew by too fast but we're very grateful for the opportunity!
Most of the phone call was recapping in more detail about what has been written in the letters. Courtney also talked about the new curriculum in the MTC. Her district was in between the old and new curriculum. Their teacher had to be gone more than the others so they ended up with six different subs. She named several leaders who came to visit and especially commented on Elder Holland's visit. Her time there was positive and enjoyed it but is looking forward to Colorado.
As of late this morning, Courtney arrived in Colorado with 15 elders and another sister. Her first assignment is in Montrose and will be living in a members' home. It is in the western part of her area. Her address:
Sister Courtney Bigelow
c/0 Crane Family
61640 Highway 90
Montrose, CO 81403
Courtney passed on her thanks for all the letters and treats you have sent to her. She can't express enough how much they are appreciated!
We received another letter and wanted to post some of it. She also talked about it during the phone call because it meant a lot to her.
"It is really awesome going to the temple once a week. I am going to miss it. I love walking out of the temple spiritually charged. I try to gain new knowledge each time I go."
"I keep thinking how lucky I am to be here in the MTC and about to go out into the field. I am learning so much about Christ's Church. The Spirit here is really powerful too."
"Today I went to the RC (Referral Center) where missionaries get the chance to call or chat with people all across America and Canada. Most of the calls we make come from people ordering the Bible, Book of Mormon, or a free DVD. Anyway, we call to confirm they received whatever they ordered/asked for.Well, today I made a phone call to a lady in Canada. She had ordered the Bible and received it. Then I asked her is she would be interested in receiving a free DVD on Heavenly Father's Plan. She said she would like to learn more after I told her what the movie was about. I then asked if the missionaries could deliver the DVD. She again said yes and wanted a Bible for her son as well. After confirming her address a man got on the phone asking if he could receive a free Bible too. I was so excited! I got his address and we talked for a little bit. It totally made my day. I love being a missionary in the RC. I have had many good experiences there."
More to come.........
