Week 6, Transfer 11
Ah, we meet again blog readers!
So it was transfer calls on Saturday
night. This is going to be hilarious. Ok, so it all started once upon a time
when I came to the England Leeds Mission...I was out 9 weeks (1.5 transfers)
when I got a call that I was being emergency transfers (ET'd) to a little place
called Skipton where I was for 3 weeks and then I was called to train. So, out
3 months, called to train, fast forward 15 months and here we are, I have 3
months LEFT of my mission, and what happens? I get called...to TRAIN!!!!!!! So,
for my last 2 transfers I will be training a new missionary. I meet her
tomorrow at transfer meeting. I just think it's hilarious, but at least it'll
keep me going because boy does your mind play all sorts of horrible tricks on you
when it knows you're going home soon!
On top of that, I'm moving (but still
staying in the north) to a place BY THE SEA called South Shields, which I am
very excited about indeed. I went on exchange there a few weeks ago thank
goodness! Sister Zurcher and I will still be Sister Trainer Leader companions
but she will stay in Darlo and get Sister Wynder up here. She goes home after
this next transfer so who knows what will happen then, but Sister Zurcher and I
will continue going on exchanges and we have some great plans for the sisters
of the north! Including a sisters’ retreat where we will be able to have them
all together and train them and do some unity activities. Oh it's going to be
so good!
I've sort of got it all smacked down
on me all at once, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Heavenly Father knows
me so well. I sometimes forget that.
The last 3 months flew by, so I
imagine the next 3 will go even faster, because I'll be so busy!
I just know that Heavenly Father is
so mindful of us, even when we think He's not. Especially in our trials and
hard times, He's especially there. He just loves us so much. I'm almost
finished the Book of Mormon again too. My insights keep getting deeper and my
understanding grows so much the more I read them. I've really enjoyed my time
in Darlo but I know that I'm needed in South Shields with my new companion. I
know she is needed there also! I'm really excited to embark on this new
adventure of my mission, the home stretch.
Finding joy in the journey is something that I've been hearing and learning a lot about recently either in church, or in the Ensign or on lds.org etc. I just love President Uchtdorf's talk on it. If you haven't read it, go on lds.org, look it up and read it! We need to FIND the joy, search for it, and also remember that sometimes there is simply no joy whatsoever in some things that happen to us, but that's the time to remember that joy will come. It will. Remember that.
Well, that's the main news for the week everyone, so I'm going to go now :) Gotta pack!
LOVE

This guy! Elder Ormsby - tryna be a skuxx kid! Was in his district for a transfer. Aussies represent! |
So, Martin is a big fan of the Darlo football club "The Quakers". He showed us their catalogue or news or whatever it is with all the players names. I made a comment about this guy, Leon Scott..next thing I know, Martin thinks I am madly in love with him. Last week he texts us saying 'I got you a present'..it was a signed photo of the player hahahaha I keep telling him Leon Scott works in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory as an Oompa Loompa. MAH-TIN (that's what we call Martin, in a really posh English accent) if you're reading this with Trish, tell Trish she's NAUGHTY! Haha love you guys! I'm Leon Scott's No#1 fan now apparently! Hahahaha
And there's a progression drawing I've been doing for a while whenever I get a spare moment. It's looking pretty cool! Note the Inca Crosses with the pink middle! Nice touch ;) |
