Challenging, Wonderful, Painful, Eventful, Happiness

Hellooooooo!

Well goodness, I don't even know where to start this week it has been wonderful, challenging and in the end there is a happy ending. 

So first the news of the week, Sister Howard and I will be serving in Gulfport together this transfer which is only going to be 4 weeks long because the MTC has to catch up or something where they get transfers and what not normal to 6 weeks. Anywho, I'll be training her "all by myselffff," and Sister Jenkins is off to...we don't know :) All the missionaries who are being transferred are meeting in Temple Terrace and they don't know where they are going or who they are paired up with until they get there. I am going to miss Sister Jenkins, it's a very bitter sweet time. I am grateful to her as a sister and friend and am nervous because of the load of responsibility to take for the area but I am very lucky to have Sister Howard. I swear she was pre-trained before the mission. So lots of mixed emotions, I'm really happy to be serving with Sister Howard and going back to just two companions, I loved the trio but it's just a lot harder to balance and be ready with time and what not. It's possible but wooeee. Sister Jenkins is going to do amazing where ever she goes, she is the most dedicated missionary out here and wants to give every minute wisely and for the Lord. I love her and will miss her but I also know that this is really good timing :)

The best news was the baptism of Betty Waters which was on Saturday and at Sister Paunov's pool. We learned fast to not do baptisms at pools, people weren't as reverent but the confirmation on Sunday was very powerful and I of course cried. She is just beaming and goodness, I'm just very grateful, she is a very choice soul!

I cried a lot yesterday day, ha ha, and a little today, just because my heart is very full and I am so grateful to God and His hand in all things and His timing is beautiful. I am so happy, ha ha exhausted but I just wept after reading in Enos after my personal study. The last verse in Enos touched my soul as he expresses how he can't wait reuniting with the Lord and what Christ says to him. I wept because I can't wait for that day, I can't wait to see Heavenly Father and Mother and our Savior and Brother Jesus Christ, I miss them so much. I can not wait for the day for this plan to all be pieced together and I want to see each of you there! The time is now to prepare and Life is beautiful! Good grief I'm going to cry again, I just KNOW with all that I am that IT IS TRUE! It is worth it all and I don't know how to adequately express the Love of God that I feel. Thank you so much familia! 

Goodness, I have learned a lot and I am sending a long talk about the 4th missionary and so I'll stop there and next time woot I'll share what I have learned from a trio companionship for next week. :) Ha ha and we had a really good experience with talking with the Hermana's trio, it was greatly needed and very powerful and spiritual. 

I love you all more then I can ever say, I am just thrilled for all that we have to look forward to and Please put God first in your life and watch all other things fall into place, it does wonders :) Oh and if you can keep Juan and Bridgett Herrera's in your prayers, we are praying that they'll come to church. Sister Herrera is a less active/ returning member and her husband isn't a member and we're praying to set a baptismal date this week. Keep them in your prayers they are an amazing couple! 

Love you, love you loooovvveee you!
