letter.twenty.four 09.08.13 ^transfer time is secret time^




Drummmmmm roooooolllllll..... I'm going to COMO! You're so lucky you didn't have to wait for that. Finding out about transfers was a long, drawn out process. President called us last night to thank us for our service as Sister Training Leaders and to make sure that we both knew that we'd be doing this again soon but he needed us doing other things at the moment. Then he told me that I was leaving... but he didn't tell me where I’d be going, just a few things about the area that left me guessing like crazy. So when we were talking with the zone leaders I was trying to get them to just tell me, since they knew already, but the punks told me to wait until 7am. ha. I didn't sleep most of the night... but that's partially because I haven't been able to sleep lately. haha such is life. Then when the zl's called this morning they wouldn't tell me for a full 5 minutes on the phone. They are punks. ha. But finally they told me and I'm super excited!


I'll be with a sister from Samoa that I've only met once and I don't know how to spell her name. I honestly don't know anything about her, except that she doesn't really speak English... that should be an interesting adventure for us, ha ha. I am excited to be going. It felt like it was time. I'm leaving my zone too, which will be weird because Rockingham zone is all I've known so far but I'm going to a zone that's on fire! I'm sad to be leaving all of these people that I love so much, but we're having a district p-day today and the zone leaders said they are going to come down so they can say goodbye.


This week started off amazing with our trip to Kalgoorlie! I LOVED it there. We took heaps of pictures and I'll try to send them all. It was so fun to be with Sister A again. Oh man, I love her! She's awesome and we were able to go out together and teach and it showed both of us how far we've progressed since we were teaching our fake investigators in the MTC. It was great. We saw many miracles throughout the exchange it was incredible.


That exchange took up a huge chunk of our week though. We traveled up on Monday and then we got back Wednesday evening. It takes 8 hours from where we're from so that was interesting. The train was really nice though and Sister F and I had a good time together.


We also did a lot of service this week for less-active members, which was fun. Service feels like a break on a mission haha. I've never enjoyed weeding so much. We have had beautiful weather this week as well. I ended my time in Halls Head on a beautiful note.


Another thing I loved this week was our zone meeting. It was a little different because we had the high counselor over missionary work come to it. He was inspiring. It helped us all catch the vision of what we can do as missionaries and how we can work in unity with the members. He also reminded me of me of some things that I had already been trying to work on.

But the best thing that happened this week was on Sunday. Our investigator, Lata, who is set to baptized came to church! AND she LOVED it! It was like she was already a member. Everyone treated her really well and made her feel welcome. Her daughter loved it too. They are both really excited to come back. I get to see her one more time before I leave. I'm really bummed that I'm going to miss her baptism, but I'm just glad she's choosing to be baptized. She is so golden. She loves everything that we teach her. She is eating it all up. It's awesome! 

Thank you all for your love and support!
