Its that time again! Have I ever mentioned how much I love
Mondays?
So this week is transfers, Sister Oswald and I were basically
in denial about it because we felt like one of us was leaving, and didn't want
to accept it! But honestly, I have felt Heavenly Father preparing me fore these
transfers in the past couple of weeks. I have seen many amazing miracles happen,
and felt the spirit directing me more than ever. I definitely have needed it.
Saturday night was the hardest one because we knew the call was coming. It
honestly felt like Christmas Eve! I was extremely anxious to hear what was going
to happen, especially since this was my first transfer call where I could
potentially leave. Well 10:45pm Our Mission President Called...and we found out
Sister Oswald is leaving. She Goes up to Amarillo, Texas tomorrow night. She's
still the STL (Sister Trainer Leader) and is training two new missionaries. It
was an exciting call. Then she handed me the phone. President Augustin told me
to put on my Hiking boots because I was.....STAYING! I am beyond excited that I
can stay in Clovis for another little while, it honestly is an area that is just
beginning to start catching fire. I was very excited to hear I was
staying...however, then came the next part of the message. Mom, Guess what? I am
expecting! I have been asked to train! He asked me if I accepted the call...to
which I replied, I will, and I promise to do my very best. He said, Good,
because we would also like to ask if you could train two for us! So guess what
else? I am having twins! haha. Yep, 3 months in and I am going to have two
greenies. I am extremely nervous, however I am also really excited. Its going to
be a huge learning experience for me, and I know that Heavenly Father will help
me every step of the way.
There has been a HUGE surge of sister missionaries
to our mission, we use to get about 1 or 2 sisters a transfer...now it is 9-12,
its pretty incredible. I don't know my two new companions names yet, or anything
about them, but I'll let you know next week and hopefully send pictures. All I
keep thinking is God must know something I don't because honestly I feel really
inadequate. But if I have learned anything this transfer, it has been to Trust
in God. He's watching out for all of us, so why not just trust him. I have faith
all will be okay. There's a quote that has gotten me through quite a lot so far,
it is: "I can do hard things." Every time I have to face a challenge, and I am
tempted to quit, I think of this saying. It gives me strength to hold on that
much longer, and every time I do, something amazing always happens. So my word
of advice. When life gets too hard to stand...kneel.- President Gordon B.
Hinkley.
I love being out here, tuffest thing I have yet to do, but I
know its worth it!
