Transfersssssss!!!!!

So here we are once again at transfers week and my future is once again unsure. I'm thinking that I will definitely stay in College Station, but I'm also definitely getting a new companion. I have an eerie feeling that I will be training again which is...... fine, I guess. We'll see what happens though. 

So I love where I'm at right now. The people are awesome and their hearts are just so soft and willing to let us share our message, even if they politely decline to learn more...haha. Also, I absolutely love the Elders we work with in our ward. They are so fun and such good missionaries! One of them, Elder Wible, is from Carlsbad, California, and he also goes to BYU. Our high schools played each other! We talk about the fun little mission reunions we're going to have after we both get off our missions all the time. It's gonna be a party. It just blows my mind that there are so many awesome people I would have never gotten the chance to meet had I not decided to serve a mission. Really though, let's be honest. I would have never had a reason to come chill in Texas otherwise. I mean, Texas is great and all, and I love it with all of my heart, but, no. 

Speaking of awesome people, let's just talk about Herilala for a sec because he is pure gold. This guy is so ready it's painful. I just know that he will accept this gospel and that it will change his life FOREVER! Alright, I'll calm down, but really though it's the truth. 

If you can't tell by this post I'm kind of all over the place because I have a ton of energy, but that's only because life is so stinking good right now. The way I feel just seriously strengthens my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ a thousand times more. There's a scripture in the Book of Mormon in Mosiah 2:41 that tells us to "consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God". It's so true! Is being on a mission a walk in the park? heck no! Do I still have problems out the wazoo? Definitely. Am I happy? Absolutely. That's the thing. God never promised that your life would be easy if you were obedient, he just said you would be happy. There's a difference. Carrying your burdens on your own is way harder than letting the Lord carry them, not only with you, but sometimes for you. It's such a cool thing. We still have trials and hardships so that we can learn and grow and gain experience, but at the same time we can have peace and happiness during those hardships if we trust in the Lord, have faith that He is who He says He is, and that He can do what He says He can do, and are as obedient to those commandments as possible. Ahhh the simplicity of the gospel. 

Anyways, like I said, I'm full of energy, so we're going to go food shopping and then play some dodge ball to cure that...haha. 

I love you all more than anything!

Love, Sister Williams
