I am going to be transferred to Lafayette tomorrow. Lafayette is in between Baton Rouge and Natchitoches and is home of the Ragin' Cajuns (University of Louisiana). That's a pretty cool mascot.My new address will be:
Sister Ryan Palmer
710 S College Rd #15
Lafayette, LA 70503
Normally, missionaries don't know where they're going when they get transferred, but this time, eight of us sisters have been asked to serve as "Sister Training Leaders." This is a new, Church-wide assignment that has been implemented due to the increased number of sister missionaries serving around the world. In the past, 75 percent of the missionary force was male. Now that it's closer to 50-50, Salt Lake City wants to make sure that all sisters are getting the support they need. Every mission in the world has been asked to assign a sufficient number of "sister training leaders" to ensure that all sisters go on an exchange at least once per transfer cycle (i.e. once every six weeks). I have been asked to be one of those sisters. My new companion (Sister Wolf) and I will be responsible for going on exchanges with the other five companionships in the Lafayette AND Alexandria zones. I will get to return to Natchitoches and Morgan City, plus get to know Opolousas and New Iberia!
