I'm Being Transferred!!! (Sep 9)

 Transfers are tomorrow....and I just got my transfer notice! I'm going to Calgary!!! Not sure what part, I'll know that tomorrow. :) I can't believe that I got to serve in Cardston for 6 months! I love Cardston and I definitely feel like I served my purpose being here and I am pretty excited to see what the Lord has in store for me up in Calgary. :)

    Woke up this morning to snow!!! Holy cow!!!! It's only September 9! This is going to be a long winter....hahah This week we met with a less-active, John, and had invited him last week to read the Book of Mormon which is something he hasn't done in over 15 years. So when we met with him he had a scripture ready to share with us! It was so neat to hear him share that with us and I could just tell he still had a testimony. I told him that I'm being transferred and he was like well you need to come by before you leave so I can share with you another scripture!! haha so cute!! I found out earlier this week that I'm being transferred (usually you only find out the day before) because Sister Murphy got a call to train a new missionary fresh from the MTC!! Whoop Whoop! So I've had time to say goodbye to people. :) With Sister Murphy training we had to go to a training meeting in Calgary so we spent our Friday there! Who knew that's where I'd be going back to in just a few days! hahah

    We finally met with the Freeman's this week! They're a non-member family who have lived in Cardston for a few months now and I've just been saying hi to them and having small talk until the time was right and they invited us in! I love this family so much!!! They're open to knowing more about the gospel and have lot's of questions and I have just loved getting to know them and sharing with them this amazing gospel. I can't wait to hear how they progress! It's all in the Lord's hands!

     I know I say this all the time but I absolutely love being a missionary!!! I have loved getting to know so many people. It amazes me how much I can love these people after such a short time. I am excited to get to know the people in Calgary and to continue to serve the Lord!! Have a great week. :)

Love,
