So this week is transfers. This morning we had our transfer breakfast with all of the missionaries in our zone. The zone leaders waited until we had all eaten and then they told us who was being transferred, who was staying, and who was going to be companions with whom. It was pretty exciting and there were not as many changes I thought there would be. Obviously, Sister Davis will be going home. And I will be staying in Woods Cross. My new companion's name is Sister Loketi, from Tonga. She is really cool and I am excited to serve with her. So, I will be in the Ogden misison until July 1, at which time I will become part of the Utah Salt Lake City mission! I am really excited about it. When I first found out about the mission changes, I wasn't too excited. I wanted to stay in Ogden, especially when I found out about the sister missionaries getting to help out at the Brigham City Temple open house. But, I am at peace. I have been praying a lot to have the faith and courage to go wherever I am called. And I know that I will continue to be serving where I need to serve and helping those people that specifically need something I can give them. Overall, I am very excited.
On Saturday, we had a baptism! Isabella,
Kristian, and Nicholas got baptized.
They are the cutest kids ever and are so enthusiastic about the
Gospel. They are always volunteering to
prayer, answer questions in lessons, and read scriptures. We were so happy
to see all the people there to support them and their excitement to get baptized. Sadly, the
font water was ice cold, so they were all a little chilly, but they were
troopers about it. The picture is of the
kids, their mom and step-dad, the bishop (who baptized them), and me and Sister Davis.
This week I made a buttermilk pie for Elder Crowe. It was his birthday and he was very excited about the pie. I have never even heard of a buttermilk pie before, so it was definitely an adventure making it. But it tasted really good! It actually tasted a lot better than I thought it would, but you really can't go wrong if the pie has butter, sugar, eggs, and buttermilk. It is a perfect combination of fattening and yummy.
I finished reading the conference edition of the Ensign yesterday! It is such a blessing that we are able read and reread the words of the modern prophets and apostles. It is amazing how different things "hit-home" based on what we are going through. I love the time I am able to spend reading General Conference and I plan on making it partof my daily study, even if I read all the talks 20 gazillion times before the next conference. :)
We had stake conference on Sunday. It was a broadcast for all of Davis County. It was such a cool opportunity to be able to sit in our stake center and watch the broadcast and hear the words of Elder Holland and President Uchtdorf. Elder Holland followed up about General Conference and asked if we had enacted any of those changes we felt compelled to do at Conference. It was a good wake-up call for me. There is so much more I could do being to improve and grow. All-in-all, stake conference was just great!
Sister Davis and I just took the two other pictures. So, that is what we sometimes do on p-day. Take random pictures and send them to our families. It is fun! Have a good week. Never forget how much the Lord loves us and how much Heavenly Father is directing our lives. As long as we have faith in that, we can receive the strength to endure and overcome whatever we are going through.
