Wow I look
back on this week and I can't believe all that has happened. First off thank
you everyone for the Birthday and Christmas wishes! I am grateful for all the
cards and emails that have come! I am sorry if I don't write you each back
individually but please no that I am very grateful. I had a great birthday... I
received the best present ever! I am going to be a grandma! That means that
Sister Andrew is training a new sister! I am so excited for her. She will do
great.
It is
transfers this week and I will be getting transferred. I will find out tomorrow
where I am going. I love the start of a new transfer. It is another beginning
and chance to start fresh. This morning I took sometime to ponder all that has
happened these past 2 transfers. I have learned and experienced so much. I
don't even know how to put it into words but I am so grateful.
On
Wednesday we received a phone call from a pair of zone leaders. It came late at
10:27 just 3 minutes from when we are to be to bed. They told us that they were
with a set of sisters and we needed to pack somethings and immiedately head
over there to stay the night for the next couple of days. We were both
confused. What? Why? We said Elders it is 10:30 why do we need to come now...
they kept saying and being my usual prideful self I kept asking questions
needing to know the details finally the Elder said here I will put President on
the phone will you believe him? haha So next thing I know President is on the
phone telling us the same thing... so we packed somethings and headed over to
there apartment which was a good 30 minutes away. It was an adventure. The
Sisters were having some issues at there place so we have been sleeping over
there the past several nights... we haven't been getting much sleep... it feels
good to be in my own bed again...haha I have learned to sleep anywhere. I love
the Sisters whom we get to serve.
I got to be
on exchange with Sister Montoya this week. How I love that girl! We talked
about so many things...we laughed, we cried, it was a tender time. I will miss
her so much as she goes home this week. I have learned so much from her. We
learned so much and experienced so much together. At times I still can't
believe that we really were companions and all that we went through together
but looking back we wouldn't have it any other way. The Lord knows what he is
doing. I have been so blessed to have wonderful companions.. most of them
international as well: New Zealand ,
Australia , and Costa Rica
I can't
believe how fast time goes.. this transfer there are a lot of missionaries
going home... Most of the leadership of the mission is going home.. there will
be lots of new Zone leaders and STL's... At times I still feel as though I am
one of the young ones but the reality is that I am one of older ones now... I
can't believe it. Time goes by. I love my mission. Every minute of it. I am so
grateful to be here.
I love
you!

The girl on the left is a really special member that comes
teaching with us quite a bit and the girl on the other side is our
investigator! I love her. She will be baptized this coming sunday.
