Me Crying, JK, I Haven't Cried...Yet: Week48
But I want to. You got to laugh to keep from crying am I right? So here's the news... My beautiful time in
Daytona has come to an end. And get this... my new companions name is Sister
Sorensen!
Sister Schomaker and I had
too much fun with photo booth Sunday night is all.
Well here's the real news. Sister Schomaker is staying here, and I
am going to LAKE NONA (yes I have no idea what that is) pretty much I just know
that I'm near President. Anywho, I've been asked to be a STL there. (Sister Training
Leader) basically it just means I get to have the opportunity to help out and train
Sisters in my zone, go on exchanges with them and attend leadership
meetings.
I'm awfully sad to be leaving Daytona, it's written in my heart. I
definitely feel I have left this area better than I found it. It's pretty hard
saying goodbye to everyone.
The Ward has been so kind and loving to me, Bishop called me out
in sacrament meeting that I was leaving and asked me to come up and share my
testimony and then the rest of the speakers were so kind to give me a little
shout out. This Ward is so so special to me, and so are the other people of
Daytona Beach.
It's been particularly hard to say goodbye to my investigators.
They didn't expect me to leave. And because they are all people I've found
knocking doors I'm the first missionary to leave them so it's a whole learning
curve.
Jess is preparing for baptism next month, so I will come back to
be here for that. She has all the lessons done and I was so privileged to be
able to be a part of her story.

| Saying goodbye |
This week was fantastic. Although I can't recall (missionary
Brain) all of the activities... I know that I felt spiritually edified every day. There was some
disappointments, and there were some success. But I felt more and more of a love and a
urgency to help these people. It's amazing the kind of experiences I've seen
when we go to an investigators house and tell them about another investigator
and they start praying for them.. things like that.
We watched women's conference with some people we're teaching,
Jess, Leslie and Brenda.
The church didn't broadcast it so we just plugged my iPad into a
tv and sat on the couch in the lobby. I loved every minute of it.

Let your
light so shine.
(P.s.
Shout out to my wonderful amazing district that I'm super sad to leave because
they made my birthday so special)
