Sister Courtney King: Hello from Wausau everybody!

This is our house!

Man what a crazy week. Transfers are always pretty crazy and EXHAUSTING. But we made it through.

So to start out, here is a little update on my life.

My new companion is Sister Ashley Weaver and we came out from the MTC together. So we have both been out just over a year. (Actually, yesterday we both celebrated our 13 month mark. So that was fun!) She is from Salem, Oregon and is 24 years old. She graduated from BYU Idaho in 2012 in Creative Writing. She has served in Waukesha which is in Milwaukee (not too far from West Allis) and Sun Prairie (which is not too far from Madison).

And a little more about Wausau. So first of all, it is significantly colder here than in Madison. And a lot more snow. So that has taken some getting used to. But- we do have a car! We drive a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy. (I know, right??) Wausau is ssssssuper hilly. Like there are just hills everywhere. And it is the funniest thing- there is one hill here that is a little taller than the others and they call it "Rib Mountain." hahahahahahahahaha to them thinking that it is a mountain. It was so refreshing that you guys sent me so many pictures of Timp this week. I will have to send you a picture of what I call Rib Hill one of these days. We don't have an apartment, we live in this cute little house. And we live right across the street from.... you guessed it- a Cheese Factory. Wausau is pretty much what you would imagine a town/city in Wisconsin to be like. There is a large population of Hmong people here. There is a set of Hmong speaking elders in our ward. And then the Zone Leaders are in our ward too.

Sister Weaver and I doing Valentine's Day right!

Obviously I can't be 100% sure, but I would be willing to bet that this will be my last area. So everyone can send everything to this address and don't send anything to the mission office.

So this week was pretty much just saying goodbye to everyone in Madison and then meeting a bunch of new people here in Wausau. So not a ton to report on the week. Sister Weaver is still pretty new to the area so we are both learning a lot together as we go along. We have been trying to meet more of the members in the ward. It has been cool because a few times we have gotten the wrong address and end up finding someone at that address that let's us in to teach them the first lesson. We are working on building up the teaching pool and trying to find more people to teach.
