Wow. Things have been insane. Haha
they always are with transfers but
this was my first time actually
moving for transfers so that was even
more crazy. I packed up and said
some tough goodbyes
Leaving Great
Falls was hard...REALLY hard........
They mandate Flu shots here…….Here's
photo evidence that I did.....I look like I'm smiling but on
the inside I was thinking "get
that thing away from me". I hate
vaccinations. But you know...exact obedience......
Right now we live in a little
trailer park. It's been a party! The bed
broke so we're sleeping on a
mattress on the ground...the toilet seat
is broken so you have to be careful
when you sit so you don't slide
off. It happens. Especially at when
its dark. Haha You can't run more
than 2 sources of water at the same
time! If your showering and have the
faucet on, you can't flush the
toilet. Its all good.... it's usually just a nice,
steady trickle of water to shower in. So it's way fun! I was spoiled in my last area....But
change is good right?? Every day is an
adventure here.
Transfers last 3 days here in MBM.
Haha they start
Tuesday and the last vans get to their
spots on Thursday. I got here on
Wednesday and met with Sister Rasmussen. She's from American Fork Utah and has
been here for a few transfers.
Oh my goodness, I haven't laughed
this hard
this transfer! It's gona be the
best. The first few days were stuffed
with a billion and one meetings.
Sister Rasmussen and I split the 2 wards with
the zone leaders…So….
we met with both bishops,
both ward mission leaders, the stake
president and high counsel, and
now we're meeting with all the
auxiliaries for both wards. It's been
insane. literally. But it's good! It's such a learning
experience. Way more busy times
to come. But I'm SO grateful for
this opportunity.
A little terrified too but it's
great!
Okay and wow, we have an amazing
zone!--I'm pretty sure everyone says
that about their zone though. Haha but I'm just so
extremely grateful. We started off
this transfer with a zone fast to
consecrate ourselves and give our
hearts to the Lord
As we fasted, we thought about and prayed
specifically of what we can give to the
Lord to purify ourselves.
We are here to do His work. There is
No other time like this to totally
serve like RIGHT NOW. So each of us
kneeled down and once again,
recommitted ourselves to our purpose
and to our Heavenly Father. The
beautiful thing is that it is not
just for on our missions.
We can ALL turn our hearts over to
the Lord.
I LOVE Elder Lawrence’s talk about "what lack I yet?".
We can ask Him right NOW, anytime,e
"what lack I yet?" What can I do better? What can I change
to become more like You? It really
does work. He answers I can promise
you that. So I invite you to do it.
:)
I love you all so much!!!! I miss
you! But I love this work and I know
we're all where we're supposed to be
right now. Love you love you!!
