This is going to be a real
short one folks! Well, like I said, change is good. That's basically what I
have been telling myself all day. We found out that I will be transferred to
Dublin, and that is where I will spend my last transfer. It is hard to go. I am
going to miss Sister Tobler like crazy! She has become one of my best friends,
we have shared so many laughs, experienced some serious challenges, have grown
together, and I can honestly say she has changed my life. I am especially sad
to go with all the miracles we are experiencing lately.
To be
brief, WE FOUND A FAMILY!!!! They are some of the most wonderful people I have
ever met. They are so prepared for the gospel and they know it. That brings me
the greatest joy, when people can instantly tell that what we have to share is
something desirable and can change their life. We met them by what anyone else
would call mere chance, but I know it was by divine design. We were led to them
because God knows they are ready, that they need the restored gospel, and that
we specifically could help them find it. They are just so excited to make these
changes in their life and work towards baptism! They are planning to be
baptized this next month, and that is a day I wouldn't miss for anything in the
world :)
I think
it is amazing how even though as missionaries we change locations so often, we
do not have to be worried about losing the bonds we form because they have truly
changed us. The experiences we have change our nature and who we are, we will
never be the same again and those we meet become a part of us. Even though I
only met this wonderful family a week and a half ago, they will be a part of my
life forever, along with so many others that I have come to love while serving
the people of Ohio :)
Have a
wonderful week everyone, and just keep smiling!
