I
can't believe this transfer has come and gone. I feel like I just got here with
Sister L. This has been BY FAR my favorite transfer. I honestly don't know how
any other transfer could beat it. I feel so blessed. When I found out about
this transfer I wasn't looking forward to it, but turns out God knew MUCH
better than I did. I have loved my district. We have such a good time together
and we all work really hard. It's been amazing. More than anything else this
transfer though, I have loved serving with Sister L. We are best friends and she
has been just what I needed. She has loved me for me and has helped me really
be the crazy weirdo I really am. We have found so much joy in the work
together.

| Como District on a P-day. |
One
of the best parts of the week was during comp inventory; she told me that I was
her favorite companion. It's something that doesn't matter too much, but it
meant a lot to me, because I love her so much and to feel the love reciprocated
was an amazing feeling. I have been praying all week that I would be able to
accept God's will for transfers. I didn't think we'd get separated though
because we've only been together one transfer. Wrongo Bongo.
On
Saturday we got a call from the assistants. They chatted for a second and then
they asked if I would talk to them and take it off loudspeaker... my heart
dropped. I didn't want to be split up. Then they told me that God wanted me to
be a trainer this next transfer. Honestly, I was shocked. I didn't even think
of that as a possibility. I knew as they said it though, that it was God's
will. I know this is what He wants and needs to happen in this next transfer.
I'm very thankful I know that because otherwise I would have been too sad.
Even
with that confirmation from the Spirit, when I got off the phone and told Soa
(comp in Samoan, that's what we call each other) that we were getting split up,
we both bawled our eyes out and just hugged each other for 10 minutes straight.
I am going to miss her soo much. I'm trying to soak up every last minute I have
with her. It's been the greatest six weeks of my mission, but I know that God
will continue to bless both of us with what we need and with opportunities to
grow and I'm thankful for that. I'm leaving it all in His hands, because Heaven
knows you can't trust my judgment.:)
I
know that I also am not good enough to train someone, but God is. I am praying
that I will be able to love this new sister with all my heart and help her feel
happy, loved, and a desire to work hard. It's going to be a great transfer, not
because I'm good, but because God is good and we will have to rely on Him.
We've
also had many miracles this week. We found 3 new 'gators! All of which were
miracles. We spent a whole two days biking our booties off. We basically ran
out of k's and we had to bike for an hour one way to get to several
appointments. It was fun though. We laughed about it a lot, but because we've
been on bikes it means we have a lot less time to actually teach because we
have to book in a lot of time for travel. But God blessed us. One of them was
especially miraculous. A man just walked into church on Sunday saying he passed
by and wanted to learn more. He stayed for Sunday school and we scheduled an
appointment to see him this week! Ah! How cool is that?! God truly is hastening
His work. God is good to us.
It's
been a beautiful last week together and you better believe we're going to live
up these last few days by working hard as I can! I will be eternally grateful
for this transfer and Sister L and how she has changed me. God is good to
me.
I
love you all and I’m praying for you. Thank you all for your love and supports.
