Leaving Hayes 2/21/2022

Image
I feel like my heart has been ripped into a million pieces.  Remember my email a few weeks ago,  About trusting God in good and bad times? Especially in bad times. I've been reflecting on that the last few days. Not even because things are bad, things are just confusing right now.  Last night I got a phone call from President Thompson and we talked for a little while and he feels that the mission needs me elsewhere. So i'm packing up and miving tomorrow. I'm really sad about it, i really love my companions and i love my area and ward so much and I was going to spend my birthday with them!😭💔 I was getting too comfortable in Hayes and I know there is not growth in comfort so I am looking forward to the growing but man this hurts. :( I feel like leaving Hayes is harder than leaving America... but I know President prayed long and hard for an answer and I trust him because he trusts the Lord. I'll be moving to an area called Peckham is east london (i think). And my compani...

I'm super emotional about the fact that i've been a missionary for 5 months(such a happy milestone but time is going too fast!) and the fact that Sis. Jones and I aren't companions anymore. This week lowkey felt like the longest week of my life. Wednesday we had transfers :( And because I am training I had to wait for my trainee to do all the orientation things so we were at hyde park from like 12pm til 8pm 😅  I'm looking forward to this transfer! Kind of super stressed about being a trainer but my new companions are so sweet. Sister Nichols (co trainer) is from Alpine UT and has been out for almost 8 months AND crazy enough went to high school with one of my cousin-in-law so that was really fun to find out :)  And Sister Black (trainee) is from SCOTLAND!! It's been so fun to get to know her and just talk to her.  I'm literally living with Merida so I hope everyone is jealous 🤣 But yeah it's been a long week just because emotions during transfers and tryin...

Hello All! This week has been so SO good! We have seen so many miracles and have met so many amazing people! It has been a busy week (as it was the last week of the transfer). Part of me feels like I should write down this week in seperate emails   because it's been pretty all over the place! But anyways, grab some popcorn or something you're gonna be here awhile 🤣 To start off, I am so grateful for this transfer. It has been extremely tough but has forced me to rely solely on my Savior and Father in Heaven! I was blessed with a companion who is now a lifelong friend and this week we were able to help FIVE ''friends'' progress! This is a miracle!! We haven't had progressing friends all transfer long and finally are having lessons again which has been such a blessing and like I said a huge miracle 💜 Transfer News!!! I am staying in Hayes! I am really heart broken because President is ripping Sister Jones away from me but I am so happy because I love my ward...

Wow. Time flies. I feel like it was just yesterday that Sister Jones and I became companions. Sad this transfer is already coming to an end, but so so grateful we were blessed with the oppurtunity to work together 🥰 This week was good, kind of slow and crazy and full of the same old same old. We lost one day of finding time because our power went out so we had to travel to the mission office and figure all that out... bless senior couple missionaries💜  Other than that nothing too eventful happened. We had exchanges and I got to work with Sister Fennegan again for the day && Sister Jones and I met some more cool people who I am hopeful about though :)  Today we had zone pday. I really miss the missionaries from my old zone a lot tbh... but these peeps are pretty okay. 🤷‍♀️ We did play basketball for awhile and I really enjoyed that! :')  My mind is drawing a blank so I guess I'll stop here. But here's a good scripture that's been on my mind lately.  "Beho...
