Lake Nona - Where there are gated
communities within gated communities.
Yes I didn't know that was thing until
now.
Tuesday's was transfers and we were
able to go to the church and say
goodbye to Sister Bromley. Sister McCullough was there as well! And Sister Schomaker was training so I got to see her so it made me super happy. Sister McCullough's trainee Sister Stephenson is training now too!

So my Trainees.. Trainees is Training.
That's deep huh.
It lifted my spirits so so much to see
my old companions.
We got a picture of the "Family
posterity" as it now stands.
This week we met a lot with auxiliary
leaders to find out how we can better help and assist them in their callings.
It helped a lot for us to know what we could do to lighten their burden.
On Thursday we were able to go to MLC.
It was a little bit bigger this time because all the district leaders were
invited to attend as well. Which made it a ratio of 10 sisters to about 41
elders...
I learned so many things from that
meeting that answered so many prayers
One thing we talked about was the
concept of "When you save a shepherd you save a herd." I love that
thought.
I know that whatever testimony we have
is sufficient enough to share his gospel.
I really hope that we will all see
"the weight of each other's glory" and see those close enough to the
blessing of the gospel as shepherds. With potential to bring millions but
also take millions away from the gospel
We also had a lot more meetings and
planning for our Zone meetings next week.
On Saturday we went to a baptism for
one of the elders so we could plan with one of our Zone Leaders
afterwards.
The poor girl getting baptized thought
that her baptism was at the temple... so she was 2 hours late to her own
baptism.
We had a impromptu testimony meeting.
There's so much power in a sincere
testimony. When it comes from the heart, however simple and brief. It holds so
much power.
I've been reflecting a lot on my
mission these past couple of weeks.
I have done my best to please the Lord
and push myself in my love for him. I think of all the times I've had courage I
know beyond my own abilities to do things I'm sacred to do.
This past two transfers have been very
different in comparison to the rest of mission. In some ways it's been rather
difficult, things I'm not used to doing. And I'll miss the old routine.
But I've been able to have amazing opportunities to serve other missionaries
and grow myself.
I've learned a lot about myself
lately. I'm
trying to have a good attitude because I super miss just normal tracting and
teaching. We don't really have anyone to teach to be honest. And we don't
really have time to find. It's been hard. I just don't feel like a normal
missionary but I know we're doing other good things. I'm praying and
fasting for a miracle. But I know that God has other things planned for
me and I know my work is pleasing to him.
Once again I'm face up with my
weaknesses. And I've discovered that my only hope to over come my faults is
through my Savior Jesus Christ.
I know he wants us to rely on him
totally and completely. And that's who I want to be, someone who is completely
reliant on the Lord. Nothing's of my own strength.
I've realized that, I'm nothing without
him. I've tried to do things my way, I've tried to change on my own. It doesn't
work. The only possible change is through him.
Maybe I wouldn't have learned that
without these difficult times, and because of that I'm grateful.
Thank you for all the love and
prayers.
Have a good week.
