EKKKK!!! Okay seriously time is going wayyy to fast! This past week has been a heck of a ride!!!!!! I love my calling :) We had interviews with President. I love him! My interview went really well. I talked to him about me being released from being a STL after this transfer ( something I'm worried about).... and he said That I wont be.. so that's good, since I love it and feel like i am pretty very much good at it :)
Jan 21 is when Sister Matheny leaves.... 22 missionaries are leaving (the largest departing group since the mission opened) I'm freaking out a little.... Sister M drives me crazy but I'm pretty sure I give her a run for the money in the drive each other crazy department, maybe that's why we are a such a good team. So did I mention I'm a little worried about her leaving? Cause it's only just a little...small....minuscule amount....hardly even worth mentioning except...I'm freaking out a little!
Our area is doing okay. We haven't had a ton of success lately but I plan to change that this week :) Good thing about Monday morning is it's ALWAYS the start of a new week and with it comes new and exciting possibilities. Ellie our recent convert is engaged and just left for BYU last week... WE are SOOO excited! Like really wow...I didn't even go to BYU, is she trying to show a sista up?! ;)
This past week I've truly felt like I am an instrument in the hands of The Lord, it is SO amazing being here, during this time, doing this work.....what a blessing! Currently my favorite scripture is Mosiah 28:3....look it up and read it! Ponder and pray on the words....it's how I feel about every member and non-member inside my mission. As I have focused on the people I've been teaching and their needs I better understand my purpose as a missionary and as a daughter of My Heavenly Father, and it brings me such joy.
I am speaking on January 11th about going through the temple and the events in my life since we went through. I'm not nervous anymore when I speak and of course I think my talk is tha' bomb. I wonder does everyone think that....cause sometimes....they aren't.....I try to be as spiritual as possible and try to look to the true and real meaning of ones words but, every once in a while I just have to look up and say.....really?! that's the talk, I missed my plane home cause my mission ended during your talk and I'm so confused I feel like I need to rush straight home and fast and pray to reaffirm my purpose and find my footing again, cause you SO lost me!....okay enough, I'm just saying sometimes less is more people! :)
I loved all the pictures and Scouts letter had us rolling with laughter like always. Mic seriously you are so beautiful I am planning to push you down as soon as I see you! Mommy and daddy your unending love and support keeps me going. I am so eternally grateful to have you as my parents. #familiesareforever
