Transfer Nine Week Six

Dear Family,

I am getting transferred!!! Again :P I am going to Fontana to serve in the Baseline ward with Sister Bullen. I have lived with Sister Bullen before and she is a sweetheart!! It is going to be fun :) This will be my 6th area with my 8th companion. :) Heavenly Father is really preparing my with change :)

This week was a slower week. Sister Morgan had a lot of departing missionary things, so I was out of my area a lot. It was good though. Things are going well :)

We had a lot of people to see but it just didn't work out quite right. It was good though, it meant putting a lot of trust in the Lord and in His plans. Things ended up working out well.

We did lots of service. I went to a farm to help weed while Sister Morgan went to the Temple and lunch with President and the other departing missionaries. I really realized that I am not a farm girl. I am totally a city girl. So weeding a farm was a little difficult. It was okay though, I did learn a lot from it. Like perseverance and that crickets can get huge!! They also can be a really pretty green color :) Watermelon plants look like weeds, but are really fuzzy and soft :) Also, when dirt dries you get a really funny tan line. :) Just some little lessons that I learned :)

We also did service for the Women of Faith. It is at the stake center but it is put on by the InterFaith Council. It is a group of people from all the different religions in the Redlands area. It is really cool. So they have put together different projects that anyone can do that help out in the community. It is really neat. This week I used my quilting skills that I learned from Mom and cut a bunch of flannel squares for the NICU at Loma Linda Hospital. It was fun to be able to be of service and use skills that I have learned. It was really fulfilling :)

This week we also made treats for some of the members in our ward. It is really fun to to that!! It helps them know that we love them and that we think and care for them. It always puts a smile on my face. It is also way fun to be able to fun to the doors and back. Sister Morgan said that she loves watching me run back to the car. She said that I always have a smile on my face. :) It is tons of fun though :)

This transfer went by so fast!! It is crazy to think that my time on my mission is coming to an end. I still have till December though!! It is a lot of fun!! I am excited to see what adventures that I will have the rest of my mission :) Everything is going to be wonderful!!

I have met some truly wonderful members here!! I am going to miss all of them, and look forward to when I get to see them again. So many have touched my life, and have helped me through a lot of things. I love them all so much! It is sad to leave, but fun to see what is next.

I love you all so much!! I hope you have a wonderful week!!
