"Without God, I can't! Without me, God can't!" (June 17)

 I'm not being transferred!! I'm staying in Cardston with my amazing companion, Sister Gonzalez!! In fact, my whole district is staying!! I am so happy and so surprised. I am so excited to see what the Lord has in store for me for this next transfer!!

    Sadly, Wyatt didn't get baptized on Saturday because he is 15 and needed his mom's permission and his mom wouldn't give it. On Wednesday my whole district fasted for Wyatt. It meant a lot to sister Gonzalez and I that our district would sacrifice for Wyatt. During our district training meeting Elder Gordan asked what was one thing we learned this transfer and it made me really think. I realized, especially with this whole situation with Wyatt is that I have to trust and have faith in my Heavenly Father. My dad gives me a inspirational quote every week and it was "Without God, I can't! Without me, God can't!" And that is so true. I can't do anything without Heavenly Father and my Savior but they can't help me or bless me if I'm not doing my part and doing all that I can do. I'm at peace knowing we did our part, now we just have to be patient and have faith that everything will work out with Wyatt in the end.

    School is almost ending here in Cardston and so this week was our last week being able to help with seminary. So sad! I just absolutely love seminary and being able to meet so many amazing youth. They had a seminary barbeque and we got to help at that and during the party it started to rain! And it's been raining ever since haha Yesterday it started to randomly hail really bad and now today it's pouring with rain!! There's even a flood warning for the rest of the week! Yay...! hahah

    We went to the Chinook with is a retirement home and went to room to room getting to know all of the elderly and singing them hymns. It was so fun to get to know them and hear their stories and hear them try and sing along with us! They're just so cute!

    I hope everyone is having a great week. :) Keep smiling and praying! Love you all. :)

Love,

Sister O'Dell
