Sister Everett is from Ft. Worth/Dallas, Texas and Sister Aruwititi is from Micronesia! I thought I would share a few fun facts we learned about them:)
Sister Everett has been on her mission for about 10 months now. She converted to the LDS religion about 2 years ago. She comes from a family of 6 with 3 sisters and she is a twin! Her mom served in the Air Force for 20 years and now works as a contractor and is currently in Afghanistan. She wasn't able to be there when Sister Everett opened her calling or when she left on her mission:( Sister Everett is one of the most personable people I have ever met. She was so sweet and so fun to talk to. Before coming to Enoch, they had been in St. George working in the visitor center. She said she loved it, but was glad to experience something new as well.
Sister Aruwititi has been on her mission for about 9 months now. She comes from a very small island where she says that if she stands in the middle of the island she can see both sides! LOL Before coming to the United States she had never seen a cow, sheep, or a horse! She also mentioned that she had been attacked by a dog since being on her mission so she was a little afraid of Axle, but of course Axle LOVED her and would not leave her alone! One fascinating thing we learned about her was that her dad teaches English and her mom is a translator and translates during conference weekends, but Sister Aruwititi didn't speak any English before coming on her mission! She said she was too stubborn to learn!
They shared with us a message about Joseph Smith by singing a song, which they did a fantastic job at I will add! Sister Aruwititi spoke to us in her native language which was very cool! She talked so fast!!
We sent them on their way with a big bucket of Halloween candy and brownies and ice cream for dessert that they were too full to eat!
We took a few pictures, but unfortunately they were all a little blurry:(
