Well well well, here we are at what could very possibly and very probably be my last transfer meeting of the mish. Sunday night we got the call that our dear sweet Sister Williams, was being booted out of Katy 1st ward. Soo rude. But guess where I have been sent. You guessed right. I am in another singles ward!! Woohoo!! Oh what joy besets my soul haha. It is not Traditions YSA ward, where I was serving last year, but I'm in Sam Houston 1st YSA with the APs. So funny. I think the Lord knows how nervous I am getting about the concept of me heading back into the real world of people my age, that He figures this might ease me back in slowly. I'll take it. Also on the ride down to transfer meeting this morning, Sister Flanery and I get a call from the APs extending the calling to be sister training leaders in our areas. What?!? How the heck am I supposed to sister training lead anybody when I feel like I am still brand new to this whole missionary thing? At the very least though, while it might kill me, I know that it will keep me focused which is such a blessing. I want to be all here for the time I have left, and I know that all of these changes will help me do that. God is good!
So my new companions name is Sister Nielsen and she seems super sweet. We just barely met like an hour ago, but I can tell that we'll get along just fine. She's from Bluffdale, Utah and she has a fire for the work and a burning testimony to go with it. I can't wait to see what we can do together with the help of the Lord. Our new area is huge, but luckily, unlike in College Station, which was half the mission, we have a car this time, so we'll be just fine :]
Saying good bye to the good people of Katy was way hard, but I know that I will see them again. I mean, I have to, right? What good would it be to grow to love people so much just to never see them again. No way! That is not how it works. So I will be returning to this great state for sure, and whoever wants to meet all of the awesome people I have talked about over the past 15 months , can come with me. I know that there really is a great work to be done here and I'm excited to get to it!
So an update on the lovely Paris and the adorable Gavin. This past Saturday, we all woke up early (Paris, Sister Flanery and I) and we took a trip out to the temple for Paris's first time. I am just continually amazed by that girl. She is such a gem! She loved the temple and understood the purpose of it, and she is already making plans for when she will be able to receive her endowment in a year's time. That is more than I could have ever asked for. So then, we quickly drove back home, went to the church, set everything up, and watched as Gavin was baptized. It was so cool! The missionary who baptized his parents flew down from Kansas City and witnessed the baptism. It was such a special moment, and they are currently preparing to be sealed as a family this fall. I just feel so blessed to be able to witness stuff like this. Really though. Who could ask for more?
Well, my family, I love you all and I hope that this coming week is one full of miracles. I know it will be because there are miracles happening everyday.So really I should say that I pray that you all will be able to see those miracles and find joy in them. Have an awesome week!
Paz y bendiciones
Sister Williams
