HELLO BEAUTIFUL FAMILY
So due to going to the temple on Thursday our pday has been moved to that day.

Ali(26 yrs old...from Trinidad). She took me on exchanges two transfers ago. I'm Actually leading my first exchange RIGHT NOW. AH.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ME.

Hello Family and Friends (':
Have I told you all recently how much I love you all? Boy, has God just blessed me with incredible people in my life. I feel so humbled to have you all in my life! God is SO good and my heart is SO full.
Thank you all for everything you do. The love, support, examples you set. Truly lights in my life.✨
I was set apart as full-time missionary, servant of my God, and representative of my Lord Jesus Christ one year ago today. My heart is full as I reflect on the past year. I have been able to watch people come unto Christ and I, myself, have been able to come closer to my Savior. I feel humbled for the opportunity I have had to serve in The Great OCM. Serving a mission is one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. It's being one of the most rewarding opportunities of my life. I'm so excited to see what the next few months have in store.
So updates for transfers. It's been crazy!!! Marysville was changed to a sister training leader area so I am now a sister training leader.
It's been so much fun! I love getting to know the sisters in our zone and the opportunity I will get to work with them. My new companion is Sister Ali. She is from Trinidad and she is too cute! Ahah. I love it!
We have been able to see so many miracles in the past week together. I can't wait to see where the rest of the transfer takes us.
Today we went to the temple so my email is going to be all over the place and choppy. (Please forgive me)
K is doing SO good. He has his baptismal interview tonight and should be baptized next Saturday the 24th! Ah. Too excited!
E is doing well. His friend M and M’s girlfriend, C moved in so we get to teach all three! They truly are prepared and desire to make changes in their lives. E won't be coming back to Marysville but we got in contact with her and she is so excited to meet with the missionaries where she lives now.
M is a new investigator that is amazing! She has a baptismal date of Oct. 29th. Yesterday we had such a spiritual lesson, it was beyond description. I love her ☺️
This week I thought a lot about opposition. It can cause a lot of hardship and challenges in this life. During my mission, my eyes have really been open to opposition in life and how it can affect us. I've really struggled to see the good in opposition...I want everything to be sunshine, roses, and butterflies but it's not. Missions are hard.
Life is hard. It's not always going to be easy. Sometimes I don't have all the answers to why I go through certain trials or struggles; many of you may feel the same way. But one thing I have learned as a missionary is that opposition that causes hardship and pain allows us to have a personal experience with Jesus Christ. To feel how the Atonement applies to us personally. This life is not easy nor was it ever meant to be. We must continue to "press forward with a steadfastness in Christ" and one day we will receive the reward of our efforts. In Isaiah 49:23 it says, "And thou shalt know that I am the
Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me." In times of opposition, I have learned that it is important to continue to press forward. I will press forward. I will strive to become better. And I will not be ashamed to wait for Him.
Christ will return and we will rejoice. I cannot wait for that day.
The Book of Mormon is the word of God. Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. Until next Monday!
XOXO,
Sister Detamore
