Hey mom!
I'm great!!!!! Transfers were great! I'm in a TRIO!! Okay story time...
So what they do at transfers is they introduce all the new-coming people. We were late because our ride totally locked their phone in their apartment and then didn't pick us up. but anyway, we got there just as they were introducing the new ones and there was this one tall skinny blonde sister that they were like "This is Hermana Moberly. She likes cross country and Harry potter." And I leaned over to Hermana Chavarria and was like "I'm going to be her companion someday." She's like "I could see that." Anyway, then how they do transfers is they put us all on this big screen with our pictures and area. So they were all like "Hermana Kennedy will be with Hermana Johnson... and they will be training Hermana Moberly." I was like "WHAAATT??" So yeah! I'm in a trio getting "Follow-up trained" They call it and helping our little fresh face as much as I can. Even though I still have no idea what I'm doing. Haha. But it's so fun being in a trio. Hermana Kennedy is so funny! And I love Hermana Moberly too- she is the nicest! And so much more emotionally prepared to be out here than I was. I was a struggler my first few weeks. But yeah! I love it in this area. I love the ward. And I know this is where the Lord wants me to be. This is the place! We're still in a pretty nice part of the mission. There's a ton of trailers and then we have like Mansions too. Good ol' Houston. It was so hard to leave the last area though. But I'm trying to remember that this is exactly where the Lord needs me and He is aware of who needs me and the experiences that I need to be having. It's good. It's hard work but It's good. :) I'm loving the people and the new ward already :)
How are you!? Sounds like the 4th was so much fun! Bryce!! I thought about him on Saturday. Give him a birthday kiss for me. I forgot to tell Jess- tell her happy birthday this week!!! Tell her I love her and she is seriously the best older sister that anyone could ever ask for! I love her!!
Keep me updated about the store. Sad it didn't work out- but maybe it's a blessing in disguise.
Oh mom. Reading your emails reminds me how much I love you all and how I'm so excited we get to be together for forever. I love you so much. Thank you for everything you've done for me. You and the love that you have has shaped me into the person that I am today. I can't thank you enough.
I'm praying for the Watkins family. Sad to hear about Grandma Sarah but that woman is going to the celestial kingdom for sure! She is one of the most Christlike people I've ever met.
Cool about the BoM!! I'm at the Lehi's dream part. I learned a lot today reading it about how we need to not pay heed to the world, but just enjoy the love of God and the glorious truths we've been given. We don't even need to worry about them.
I love first nephi! I always think about how symbolic their journey is. They left their home and their lives and went through a time of struggle so that they could obtain their promise land. I think the Lord does that for us, too. Things change, we're put out of our comfort zone and into our trial of faith our "Wilderness" but it's because the Lord has something so much better in mind for us! He knows exactly what we need to do to get to our promised land. And we can look forward with an eye of faith in those hard times that it's because the Lord is shaping us and preparing us for something so much better. Because He knows us, and exactly what we need.
Well mom, better get going. I love you so much! Sorry if my emails aren't so great. There's always so much I want to say and like- no time to say it. but I love hearing from you and what's going on back home. I love you all more than anything!! The church is true!
Hermana Johnson
