Welcome to season 2! In line with my transfer to a new area, I start things out with an explanation of “pink washing,” leading into the patriarchal gender dynamics between Sisters and Elders. I found a fascinating historical timeline of LDS Sister Missionaries that was written in response to the lowering of age limits for missionary service. Dr. Radke-Moss posited that Sister Missionaries might be treated with more respect than was normal in the historical precedent; I’ll leave it up to you whether or not you believe this came true.

In week twenty-seven, my journal entries include saying goodbye to everyone in my first area including my first golden investigator, being placed into a surprise tripanionship, and, accordingly, dealing with a massive tone shift in my missionary work.
