Hey everyone! Another pretty eventful week here.
We got to have a fun district p day last Monday since it was our last one before transfers. Then transfer calls came that night and I'm now in Dacula, Georgia! So fun to be back in Georgia again haha.
On Tuesday we got to go say goodbye to some of our members and left them all know that we were leaving. The area actually got elders now instead so I think they were pretty excited for that.
We got all transferred and I had my companion Sister Fuller. We live with two other sisters as well, Sister Venema and Sister Montour. Then that night, President Marsh calls and says that they accidentally put and english Sister in a spanish area so they wanted to switch Sister Fuller and her. So the next day I got a new comp Sister Flower! She is from West Valley Utah and she just got reassigned from the Sydney, Australia mission.
We dont have anyone we are teaching because we are opening a new area but we have been able to meet and talk with quite a few members since being here and they are all so amazing!
A tender mercy from the week: We were at Walmart and Sistwr Flower and I were waiting by the car for the other sisters when a woman walked up to us and asked us to buy some candy for her daughter's color guard. We bought some from her and asked her more about her family and her life. She asked us about where we were from and about our missions and said she had talked with elders a lot before she moved here. It was a little tender mercy to be able to talk with her and share who we are and what we do. We haven't been able to do that in a while.
We called a guy that had previously been taught by the missionaries and he just bashed us on the phone for 30 minutes so that was fun haha.
This week I was reading in Ether and in Ether 2:7 it says, "And the Lord would not suffer that they should stop beyond the sea in the wilderness, but he would that they should come forth even unto the land of promise, which was choice above all other lands, which the Lord God had preserved for a righteous people."
And I was thinking about how a lot of times I want to stop. I get to a place that I think is good enough and I want to stop there and hang out. But the Lord won't suffer us to stop there. He wants us to keep going because he has something even better prepared for us. A land of promise prepared for us. Even when we feel like we are good enough or in a good enough spot, Heavenly Father wants us to keep progressing because he sees potential in us that we can't always see.
I hope yall have a great week
