Transfer News

You probably are not going to believe me when I say what happened at transfers…you ready? Ok, so my adorable trainee Hermana Gubeli is here with me! Again! We only spent three transfers apart and now I get to train her how to be a sister training leader. How fun! We are very happy and excited. I was almost sure it wasn’t possible, but it is. J Things have been great and super easy this week because we know exactly what the other person needs and how they function.

 

Saying goodbye to Hermana Fallentine was NOT easy in any way. I love that girl so much. I was actually crying. I felt ridiculous because we are totally going to hang out afterwards, but for now it just broke my heart a bit. We have so many fun and sweet memories together. She is now where Sister Gubeli was back up training the sister that Sister Gubeli was training.

 

We had a super busy week but I will just touch on the highlights. MLC last week was great. We got Chic-fil-a on the way up! I was in heaven. And since the last trip, everyone wants me to do their eyebrows so I did, haha. We stayed at the mission home this time. We got there kind of late but got to chat with President and his wife for a bit. That was nice. They are so great! I had to play the piano at MLC which was way difficult with these nails, but it worked. MLC was so energizing and inspiring. It always is.

 

I loved it when we talked about the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. So many think that the spirit of the law is taking the letter and going above it AND below it sometimes. That isn’t it at all. The spirit of the law is going ABOVE the standard set for us. There are so many examples in the scriptures. Letter= to not kill, Spirit= to not even get angry to put yourself in that position. Letter=don’t commit adultery, Spirit= don’t even think it! That was also reiterated at General Conference when someone said, “If you think it, you already broke the commandment in your heart.” That is something I want to work on. Also the idea of living the Spirit of the law in joyfully doing the things asked of us. When we are compelled to do things, we are NOT living the Spirit of the law. It brought me back to good old Rexburg and BYU Idaho. That is something they really hit on there.

General Conference was also amazing! One of my favorites was Richard G. Scott. He is such a real person. I love that we can look to our leaders and people in the Book of Mormon as examples to follow. I loved that he said that his family was blessed having both parents be returned missionaries. That made me super happy, because being a missionary is not easy and that was just a confirmation that this will all definitely be worth it.

 

We had lots of opportunities for service this week. We helped Hermana Harper’s daughter move as well as Janet with her house. I love Janet! Anyway, that’s about all I can think of. Sorry this is short, but we are actually doing zone sports today so I get to go beat some elders at lightening! J BOO-YA!

Love you all so terribly much! Oh yeah, you all better be reading Preach My Gospel now. I told you to do it before, but now an apostle is backing me up, haha!
