Hey guys!!
AHHHH guess what, it's transfers week!! I was so so nervous that I was
going to get transferred. But I'm NOT!!! Which I am so happy about. I love this
area/ward and I don't feel like I've done what I came here to do.
Sister Chou Lee will be leaving, though. I'll miss her, I've learned a lot
from her but I think it will be good. Change is always good on a mission; it's
an opportunity to rededicate myself to the work I came here to do. My new
companion's name is Sister Payze; I've met her a few times but I don't really
know her. I am excited; I'm sure she is awesome and we are going to work SO hard
this transfer! We aren't the Sister Training Leaders, which is good. I enjoyed
it but honestly I just want to focus on my area. It's really fun being an STL;
but I just want to be a soldier.
We had exchanges this week; one in Kwinana and one down in Bunbury. Sister
Leiataua from Kwinana came to Waikiki with me; and we had a BLAST. She is such a
fun, happy missionary. In Bunbury I went with Sister Kennar and Sister
Iosua-fui; both amazing missionaries as well. I love the missionaries in this
mission, ESPECIALLY the sisters. They aren't perfect but they are definitely the
cream of the crop.
We had Thanksgiving down in Bunbury! It was DELICIOUS. Want to know what we
had? (: Sweet potatoes, chicken, rice, spaghetti and oranges. It was very
un-traditional but hey, you gotta work with what you got. It was
delicious.

So things have been good; we are still on bikes which is fun. Seriously
it's not too bad! We get to talk to more people since we aren't confined to the
car. The other day I stopped and talked to this cute old lady who was walking
down the street; turns out she was blind. We helped her cross the road. She
wasn't interested but she was a lovely lady!
Fast Sunday was amazing. My testimony of the power of fasting has been
strengthened so much. Everything I fasted for I had before the day was over.
Guys, it works! Before my mission I would look at fasting as just going without
food and being miserable. It's SO much more than that! It's powerful.
It looks like you guys had a great Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is such a
good holiday. Everyone outside of America is missing out. An American woman in
our ward invited us missionaries over to her house on Saturday for a late
Thanksgiving dinner, and that was delicious. Not as good as home but delicious
none the less.
I'm so excited for Christmas!! It's such a good opportunity for missionary
work because everyone is nicer. We are going to start using Joy to the World
dvds....we are going to give them to members and commit them to give it to a
friend; and then follow up with that friend. It will be good; this ward is so
amazing that the only way to do missionary work here is through the members.
They are so good, but holy smokes, they feed us WAY too much!! Like every single
night. Tomorrow night we have two dinner appointments. Nah it's good; we need to
work with the members as much as possible.
Oh and for Christmas, I will be skyping you guys on my Christmas morning
around 8:30 or 9am. That should be sometime on Christmas Eve night for you
guys. I'll give you the details as it gets closer.
Well I love you guys! Sorry this isn't a very interesting email; next week
will be jam-packed full of awesome missionary experiences. Love you!
Love,
Sister Bryce
