Hey!
I can't believe
it's Monday again. I realize I probably say that every Monday but really, It
doesn't feel like another week has gone by. Well.....I know you all are wondering about
transfers. And surprise, surprise.....I am getting transferred!!!!! I am being
released as a sister training leader and have been called to train 2 new
sisters from the MTC and open up a new area for sisters to serve in. Honestly,
I am ready for a big change and I am really kind of excited! I know it won't be
easy but I also know from past experience, the Lord doesn't leave you alone to
do His work. I love training and I LOVE opening up areas for sisters because it
is so cool to see the Lord's hand in the work and see the area build up from
nothing. It will be great. I will miss being a sister training leader a lot
because I just love it so very much and it has been wonderful to work and learn
from the sisters. But I have been doing it for 3 transfers so guess it's time
to move forward, which is ok. I will miss this area so much and all our
investigators but I know the Lord is calling me elsewhere. So that's the
biggest news right now. I don't know where I am going till tomorrow but we have
a couple of guesses. Either in Bakersfield,or Bishop. Yep, look up where Bishop
is at, they might be sending me to exile! ;) But it is in the mountains and I
know I would love it there. Our mission President told me it is a pretty tough
area where he was sending me but that I would love it so we will see. We might
all just be wrong.
This week was a
little slower. We had a couple of final exchanges with the sisters that went
really well. All the sisters are just so amazing and doing so well and are
truly prepared so much by the Lord. I am really excited to get my 2 new sisters
because I already know they will be amazing! Jimmy is doing well. He actually
had the chance to go to the temple for baptisms this last Friday. One week
after he was baptized and he just loved it so much. He is so strong and just
loves the Gospel. I will miss him terribly along with all of our other
investigators! I just love them so much and can't wait for them to progress in
the Gospel. We had stake conference this last weekend and it was so amazing!
The Spirit was so strong and we had 3 of our investigators were there and just
loved it. A lot of people talked about their conversion stories and I know that
those stories touched the lives of many. It hit me pretty hard yesterday just
how amazing it is and what an honor it is to be able to serve the Lord and that
he trusts me enough to let me be a part of His work. This church really is
true. If it wasn't, things would have failed a long time ago. But they haven't.
And they never will. It is simply amazing. The Gospel is simple and beautiful
and it changes so many lives, including mine. I am so grateful for this gospel
and the light, and peace it brings in to my life. I can't imagine my life
without it nor do I want to. The world is only getting more wicked every day,
yet there will always be a light and a hope with the gospel here on the earth.
People are searching for what we have. They need what we have because only the
Gospel will help people change and bring peace to the world.
I love you and am
so grateful for all the love and support! Thanks for everything! Sister Haws
