Transfers came...DRUMROLL...
I packed. Everything. When I saw everything. The only thing I had left to pack was my get ready stuff and my bedding.
No worries everyone, I'm staying in Marysville. No worries. I'm fine. Just have to unpack everything. Lol I knew this would happen They pulled a fast one on me. But no worries, I get to stay in Marysville!!!! My second home Sister Ali will be staying as well! Let's do this
Sunday was 13 months since I left my normal life and to the title as a representative of the Savior Jesus Christ. I can't begin to explain how my heart feels at this time. My mission has been one of the most rewarding yet trying things I've ever done. I have had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. I'm forever grateful for the opportunity I have had to serve in The Great OCM. There is no place I'd rather serve. O H I O has my heart.
Fall is sorta here. Lol. It got super cold and then all of the sudden we were in the 80s and I was dying. Due to the hurricane, we had unusual hot weather but all is well and hopefully the nice cool fall weather will stay.
Interesting week for sure! Sorry for the lack on this email.
Spent two days in the mission home. That was fun and very much needed. I just love a
President and Sister Daines.
The FHE went well with D and his kids last week. They live in the elders area so sadly we had to refer them.
A passed his baptismal interview Friday and should be baptized this Saturday. Yesterday, someone close to A told us that he hasn't been living the word of wisdom but according to him and his sincere desire to be baptized, he has been. He will have another interview this Friday to make sure all is clear for Saturday. Please pray for him!
A is doing well. She has such a strong testimony it's incredible. She is still struggling with the word of wisdom so we are going to help her through it. We re-extended baptism for November 26th. We want to help her overcome her struggles. I love this woman.
Monday evening A asked us to meet her and A at Meijer's. We thought it was odd to do the lesson there but we went anyways. Before we knew it, A and A were buying us groceries. My heart was full and my eyes were filled with tears. With the VERY little money they have, almost broke, they served us. It was such an incredible example of Christ-like service. I feel humbled to be in Ohio serving such tender hearted people.
The gospel of Jesus Christ brings joy, happiness, and light. President Russell M. Nelson said "When the focus of our lives is on Jesus Christ and His gospel, we can feel joy regardless of what is happening--or not happening--in our lives." I know that this statement is true. Trials may come but God is STILL good. Jesus Christ came bring peace and comfort during troubling ways. I know this to be true. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. Until Monday, thanks for all the love and support!
XOXO,
