PERU!

Brynn and her fist companion in Indiana, Sister Lewis  

Hello friends and family of Sister Carlson! This is Brynn's sister, Sonja. I will be posting emails she sends to me and my mom here. I'm still working on an email list that I will use to forward her emails to people who would wish to get them that way, so if you would like to be on such list, let's chat. Email me at sonja.lise.carlson@gmail.com.

Here's Brynn's first email to me from her first area in her mission! Indiana! She got there the day before Thanksgiving. She's such a gem:

It is cold!! But... I'm actually not in Ohio... I'm in Peru... Indiana! the town I am in is called Peru... isn't that funny?! but yeah its cold. the people here are mostly nice. my ward is great its small but they have a strong ward spirit. the conditions that people live in here are pretty awful. a lot of people her are poor. and a lot of our investigators and people we go visit live in crummy apartments or trailer parks. seeing these conditions make me feel blessed for the home I have back home. cause people out here have it so much way worse. My companion is great! her name is sister Lewis and she is really nice and a big help to me. we have some investigators but I want more! we've done some tracking on saturday and found this awesome sweet lady! I'm guessing she's in her 50's. well she's a painter and her outside of her house has some of her work on it. like pretty paintings of flowers and nature things. she invited us in and showed her more paintings. it was kinda funny cause she painted on her walls and cabinets and just all over. she gave us each a little nature painting painted on wood. she said that she is religious but jumps from church to church. that must means she hasnt found the right one yet! haha. we have a appointment with her on tuesday, tomorrow. the people here talk funny... and the mesh their words together. instead of saying they did that... they say I donedid... its kinda hilarious. also here they call the vaccum cleaner a sweeper! I'm gonna send some pics to mom through a email and you or her can post them on my facebook page.


There's more to come! I'll also have to post some of her emails from the MTC when I can.
