Week 69!

got my transfer news... IM GOIN BACK TO LUBBOCK! ill be serving as an stl again but in the ysa there! AND IM COMPS WITH SIS OLIVER AGAIN! runnin it back!! this transfer is gonna be so awesome.

its wild to think that the ysa will most likely my last area of my mission... i only have 2 transfers left! time is a weird thing. ive been reflecting a lot on all the lessons ive learned & people ive met & strength ive received... i cant deny how BLESSED ive been! it hasnt been easy but the mission so far has taught me to trust god & make do with what you have with his guidance!

i feel like so much has happened in the last week & a half soooo... heres some highlights!! haha

- exchanges with sis wads!!! holy i love that woman

- mlc pt 2!! honestly one of the most special & spiritual things ive experienced recently! at the end of it, president went off his agenda & decided to do an impromptu testimony meeting. you could almost see the heavy mantle on each leader/missionary as they shared their testimonies all centered on christ & his atonement. ill never forget the power of that meeting!

- ward christmas party!! cajun style shrimp boil out at the ranch yeeeehaw it was so fun

- sister anderson crocheted me a vest AHH! so kind of her

- we dropped a lot of people which is sad... so many people that need the gospel but dont realize that they need it!

- a FIRE lesson with quentin! we talked about the organization of the church & the whole time he was saying things like 'wow that just makes so much sense'

- so many goodbyes:,( this area has been so kind to me! ive truly met some of the most amazing, loving, selfless people out here!

im workin my way through the BoM, fixin to finish before i go home... i just finished alma 38! i just love shiblon... alma thanks him for his 'steadiness' & thats something i admire cause i sure dont have that HAHA. but mainly, i just applaud people like shiblon and sam. they have so much trust and faith and obedience but they dont get much recognition. i think thats how most people living the gospel are... every once in a while you may meet a nephi or an alma or an ammon but usually we're surrounded by sams and shiblons. steady & dedicated disciples enduring to the end together!

feeling exceptionally grateful this week & im excited for the new adventure gods takin me on right now!

love you all!! email me or write me a letter YAY!
