Soooo big news. I am getting emergency transferred. We got the call last night from president. Im not exactly sure whats going on but apparently something went down with a companionship and now I'm being moved up to Timmons... or more appropriately being exiled to Timmons. Before you continue reading this look up on google maps where it is and you will understand why I am being exiled..... do you get it now? It is the farthest area that you can go. I leave tommorrow bright and early which just so happens to be April 1st..... Which means that it is also April Fools day.... Which means happy April fools! hahahhahahahhahahahah
Anyways back to reality and back to some Shout Outs!
Thank you to Sister Laing for the package! I've already eaten all the butter fingers ;)
Also some wicked exciting news from Kingston...... Steph got her mission call!!!! BAH!!!! She is going to the Czech/Slovak mission and reports on August 13th!!! AH I am SO excited for her! She is going to tear it up out there! BAH! Im seriously grinning from ear to ear and it's starting to hurt haha!
As for this week, we have taken a bit of a hit..... Maria dropped us out of the blue. She just decided that she didnt want to continue to meet with us anymore. It was right out of left field and I took it pretty hard. I love her and Daniel SO much! We are also putting Kyri on the back burner for right now. He feels right now like he just isn't ready for baptism but he knows everything and we dont want him to get annoyed at us constantly talking to him about it so we figure we will let him figure some stuff out. We were also dropped by a couple other people this week. All in all it was a bit of a roller coaster, but that's what mission life is like! You just have to role with it :)
On a brighter note one of our investigators, Wayne wants to get baptized on the 20th :) He is special needs so we are letting him pick his own date and everything. He is such a sweetheart though and LOVES coming to church and going to baptisms!
As for other exciting news, we went tracting in a half way house! For those of you who dont know what a half way house is, it's a place for people who have just gotten out of jail. I should clarify that we did not know it was a half way house until later but once we knew everything made a lot more sense... we were wondering why everyone was jacked with tattoos haha! It was a fun experience and we met a cool guy named Joe. I told him that God could help him change his life and that he should come to church and he got this big smile on and said he would come check it out. Actually funny thing, we saw Joe on the bus today coming to email!
We have also found ourself our very own YSA buddy out here. His name is Chris Wild and he got home from his mission in July. I've been missing the YSA a lot so Sister Tebbs and I have adopted him and now he comes out with us all the time. :)
Well thats all for this week :) Do good and ask someone what makes them most happy.
Line of The Week: After talking to Joe for 5 min
Joe: "So you girls know this is a half way house right?"
Me: "Hmmmm no we didn't, but that makes a lot more sense."
Joe busts a gut laughing
Scripture of the Week: St John 14:18
"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."
A Hiku for you
