That's So Sister Sorensen: Week 36

Take a sit because this one is going to be a doozy.

Transfers are here and Sister Stevenson and I will not be companions anymore.
Sister Lamborn, Sister Brady, and I had to head to Orlando early in the morning and the cutest thing was when we got to the mission home we pull in to the garage at 6:30 in the morning, and President goes "So you sisters want cereal?" And were like "it's okay President you don't have to" he just goes "Come on, how about French toast?"
So our dear President Clark made us breakfast.
Might of been some of the best French toast I've ever had to be honest.
President Clark making "The BEST!" French Toast ever!

After that we headed home and President told us to head STRAIGHT to bed. We were too excited to be in a trio though so I'm still recovering from the lack of sleep, oops.
But let me just rave for a moment on how much I love my Mission President. You know how they say you get called to a specific place and to a specific Mission President for a reason? Well I believe that to be 100% true. I know President Clark was meant to be my Mission President. That man looks out for me so much. And you know and can feel how much he loves his missionaries. 
Da last District Picture
For the past 3 days and the rest of today I have been in a trio with Sister Brady and Sister Lamborn #sleepingonthecouch We have just been splitting our time between our two areas. But man it's been so fun. Seriously a much much needed 3 days.
Sister Brady and I have fulfilled a mission dream of being companions. 
Current Trio, until Wednesday
AH I've loved every minute of it. I love both of my STLs!(Sister Training Leaders) 3 days full of constant laughs with these two wonderful missionaries. Blessings.

Okay now for what I'm sure you have been waiting for.
Transfer doctrine.
WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
IM STAYING IN DAYTONA
(That should have been pretty obvious)
And...... I GET TO TRAIN AGAIN! ðŸ‘¶
I pick up my new baby on Tuesday! Even though I was with President Friday morning he waited until that night to give me the call.....
He goes "Hey Sister Sorensen, how ya doing?” “Good.” “Just wanted to let you know Sister Stevenson arrived home save and sound, and you're going to be training so you need to come back Orlando on Tuesday goodnight."
Also! My first child Sister McCullough is going to be training too! Which I'm so excited for! She will do amazing!

Some other fun things from this week -

- The NSB elders had a baptism and a wedding this week. So we got to go set up and attend the baptism of this cute couple they were teaching.
- J! So earlier this week we were contacting in this apartment complex, everyone wasn't really interested and it was time to head to our next appointment so I get in the car and Sister Stevenson is backing me and I hear her saying hi to someone. And I look in the mirror and see this women getting into her car and the spirit is like DO IT and I was like OKAY! So I pulled back in and parked and we ran to this lady, she just immediately directed us to her mom who was coming out of her apartment and we started talking to her, come to find out she just lost her daughter and her grandson - we told her briefly about the plan of Salvation and she started crying and told us to come back the next day. We went back and found out that in '95 she was meeting with elders but they got into an argument and they never came back! I was praying so hard to at least be able to find someone. And it answered so many prayers.
Sister Stevenson's last day
Florida Rain!
 God is aware. 
He had shown me that so much this week. I feel like learning to love God is a process for me, learning to know him. I have always known he's there, that's something I've rarely ever doubted. But I use to always wonder how much I loved him. 
It may sound weird, okay it does sound weird but I feel like I've learned to fall in love with god on my mission. I'm loving him more and more everyday. Because I know he knows me. He's proven that to me, when I prove myself to him. It's a beautiful thing.
But I don't want my Mission to just be this spiritual peak in my life. I want it to just be the start, only goes up from here. I will not falter in my faith. 

I was reading "The first and great commandment" by Elder Holland. 
And it hit me so much how I need to be converted to my God, to the savior, to the gospel. Lifelong. 
I wrote in the front of my preach my gospel - going off the story Elder Holland tells of Peter fishing after Christ's death 

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
What I need, Sister Sorensen are disciples and I need them forever.
I need someone to preach my gospel and defend my faith 
I need someone who loves me, truly truly loves me.
LOVE IS ALWAYS LOYALTY. 

Let's all be his disciples, forever. Remember the promises we've made, maybe even some promises we haven't yet made. And be what god needs. Not just on missions, on Sundays, not a General conference. Always loyally.
