Well ladies and gentleman,
I got a call this weekend AND........I'm being transferred. So sad :( Not only am I being transferred but I am training and white washing?!?! (starting a new area for sisters) What the?!?
I know? Crazy right. I just finished my last training session with sister waters yesterday and now all the sudden I am training a little greenie and starting a new area.
I really don't know what to think.I don't know where I'm being transferred to yet but I'll find out tomorrow morning during transfer meeting. All the elders think I am going to bible park (it's in our same district and both elders are leaving) But I have no idea. I could say that I was pretty sure I was going there but then end up over the mountain.
The suspense is killing me. Because not only will i find out where I am serving but I will also find out what mission I am going to. This transfer meeting will let us know if we are staying in the south mission or if we are going to the north mission. I know I'll be happy in either mission but I really want to know! haha sister waters knows that she is going to the north mission because she is staying in this area. It would be awesome if I went to bible park because then I would still be in the same district as Sister waters and I would be in the same zone as sister Flanery. Plus if I go to the north mission there is a chance I could come back to my first area.
I love it here so much. It has been so weird saying goodbye to the people. I'm going to miss them like crazy. This Sunday was a perfect Sunday to end on though. We had SUCH a good Sunday We had 3 investigators at church!!! Nellie Boyles came. She is 83 and she has been taking the discussions for 3 years. She FINALLY came to church. Oh.my.gosh. I was so happy I wanted to cry. She sat right next to me in sacrament and I just wanted to hug her the whole time. When we were singing the last song "Nearer my God to thee." The spirit touched her heart and she got a little teary eyed. There really isn't a greater feeling to see people taking a path that will lead them to happiness. and being able to help them on that path....Nothing comes close to the joy I felt at that moment. It was wonderful.
I told sister waters to keep on her and make sure she comes all the Sundays after this one. She needs it so badly in her life. We also went to see Mike Bohannan on Saturday to tell him the news. After our lesson and when I was telling him my final goodbye He got super teary eyed and hurried back in the house before he started crying. haha aw he is such a sweetheart. All the goodbyes I have said don't really seem real or final. I know I will see all of these people again. It is just a temporary goodbye. But I am still going to miss them.
I am having mixed feelings because I want to stay but I know there are some more people I will grow to love just as much as I love these people here. Plus I know the Lord needs me in this new area too. I can't wait to see the miracles and meet the amazing people who live...where ever i'm transfered to. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. Know that I love you all and I will keep you posted on my new area!!
