Well it’s been another
week! I am exhausted! :) haha I honestly just want to go into hibernation for a
few days! This transfer literally took it out of me! :) It was interesting,
because when I got my blessing from President Weaver he said Heavenly Father is
aware of the load you are carrying and will make you strong and capable to bear
it. That's why I've been so obsessed with Elder Bednar's talk as well as
Matthew 11:28-30 and Mosiah 24: 14-15 I have felt that the events of the past
transfer have for some reason been hard for me, but I am SO grateful for this
sacred transfer. I have learned and grown a lot. I have a lot of things that I
want to work on next transfer and I am excited to start a new adventure!
Transfer Calls were not exactly what I was expecting! But I am excited :) I am
staying here in Olympia 1/5!!! Which I am so so so happy about! And my new companion
will be Sister Boone! She was born in Olympia with Sister Horgesheimer and
trained by Sister Logan. all I really know about her is that she's way super
intelligent, bold and an only child haha it's been a while and I didn't get to
know her super well while she was here. I was hoping to have a companion that
was a little older that I knew I would get along with, but I know God knows
what is best for me and what will be perfect for me :) I trust Him! :) Plus I
am just way happy I get to stay here in Olympia. I just love the people here so
much! :) By tomorrow Sister Jensen will have as many areas as I have my whole
mission! She got the best transfer call ever! haha She is going to Bremerton
with Sister Packard! I hope that will be good. It's Sister Packard’s last
transfer! :( along with everyone else haha Sister Hall is staying here!
(yay!) Sister Thompson and Baird are going to be companions Elder Genereux is
staying in PA and his best friend is coming to oly to be my ZL. I am sad Elder
pierce is leaving. He's the only one I really liked and there are 2 elders in
my district that are quite rude. I'm not excited about staying with them haha.
But I will try to make the best of it! :) Horge is also staying in PA I haven't
talked to Flanigan or Chipman yet. so that's about all I know :) I am
excited to see what this transfer will hold! This week has been pretty great!
On Monday we just hung out with the sisters and it was awesome :) and that
night we taught Kelly and Juliene :) They decided they wanted to make a goal to
come to church! They didn't come though, haha but we talked about the
Atonement. They are just funny :) I Iearned that day how important it is to
learn from every companion. I really feel like I have, but I can always
improve. I think I didn't do as well as I could have this transfer. Tuesday was
a good day :) It was my 3 month left mark...we went to this burger shack called
"big toms" I heard it was like in-n-out but it wasn't as good :) haha
but fast food kinda makes me sick now :P Then we taught our investigator
Sabrina. She is seriously the most interesting person I've ever met. She is a
way cool spiritualist and she has so many intriguing thoughts! haha I swear her
life could totally be a mystery novel! and the language she uses just pulls you
in. It's astonishing! haha I want to read her novels when she publishes them :)
We taught her the gospel and she basically already figured out the first 2
principles! She told us she wants to be baptized and we are hoping for the
21st! :) but we will see :) She's awesome I love her! :) Then during tracting I
saved a baby mole!!! It was so tiny! I thought of mom and how I could have
completely freaked her out with that thing :) it was so cute! :) Then we ran
into Gary! He is surprisingly still reading the BOM! I think we'll go back in a
few weeks and just challenge him to be baptized, but who knows what will
happen? Only
God! :) I was way happy that day I had so much energy and that night I got a text telling me that I was going to get to go back to MLC!!!! I was literally bouncing off the walls excited!!! :) and Running around the house! haha I was stoked! :) Wednesday I had a great adventure of trying to be cool and figure out how to check the tire pressure and put air in them. Well that didn't work out too well because the gauge at the gas station was super weird! haha so the worker guy had to come help us :) Then we took it to Les Schwab to make sure there wasn't a hole in the tire and while we were waiting we walked around and I met a guy named Bryan Pierce that was from Vancouver and knew Doug and Mel! haha it was pretty cool :) During finding we knocked into a guy that was seriously shocked about the fact we were girls. He kept saying "you're females!" haha it was pretty darn funny :) It was a fun day :) Thursday was absolutely AWESOME!!! I got to go up To Tacoma with Sister Hall and Sister Beven. They had a special MLC where all the old, current and new Zl's and STL's came. It was absolutely amazing!!! The spirit there was SO strong. I can't even explain it to you. They basically brought us all together so we could set a good culture for the mission when the Blatter's come in I don't know how to spell their name! haha and also for us to be able to bear our testimonies. At the end we sang Amazing Grace and everyone was just sobbing; there was a in sync sniffle between lines. We are all going to miss the Weavers so so dearly. I can't even express the way they have affected my life. I love them so much and I am eternally grateful for the way they have affected my life. I feel like tomorrow's transfer meeting is going to be a sob fest :) haha and there's also a fireside in Olympia the 22nd that will be a sob fest :) haha I am going to be so sad to see them leave, but I am excited to have the new ones come in and see the way they change the culture of the mission. I have a feeling I am going to be training my last transfer though, there's 28 sisters coming in! craziness! That night though I had a way cool experience! We went to our Brazilian sister's house to teach their friend Viki from China! It was such a sacred experience to be able to teach someone that had never heard about God loving her or Jesus Christ's sacrifice for her. It was seriously SO cool! :) Friday was a chill day except for the fact that Brooklyn finally got her MISSION CALL!!! :) We went over to the Falter's and there was a bazillion people there :) haha but she’s going to Perth Australia and she's leaving December 3rd! So I can come back for her farewell! :) haha It was really cool to see someone open their call, it brought back so many memories! :) On Friday we finally got to teach Jesus and Crystal! :) It was good! They also had a friend there that wanted to learn! :) Randy. It was awesome :) haha I love those people :) Then we got our transfer calls. I don't even know what to say about it still. Haha I am just trying to have a positive attitude! I am just praying that Sister Boone and I will get along because I just want to work hard! That was such a great thing about Sister Packard and Chipman. We got along so well and were a little older and knew what we were doing so we just worked hard and didn't have to worry about our relationship so much! I miss that and hope it works that way this transfer! :) There's a song from last years EFY cd. It's called "the girl I am" and there's a part that says "he knows I'm strong enough and he has a plan for the girl I am" It's like my favorite song and it just gives me so much comfort to know God knows I am strong enough to handle what He gives me and He just has a specific plan for me and my eternal salvation. Sunday was awesome :) our building is actually being renovated so we are combined with the oly 4th ward for church. It's like a Utah ward! there's so many people! haha it's crazy! it was also Brooklyn's b-day and graduation on Saturday so we got to go to the Falter's for a celebration dinner on Sunday :) I seriously love that family so much! :) You should look for this drink mix stuff called "yolli" It's in Utah and the Falter's started the company! haha It's really good :) They give us some sometimes :) haha anyways I am so out of time! But I want you to know I love you all so much and miss you tons! I am so happy and doing awesome! I trust in God and His plan for me.
