I'M GETTING TRANSFERRED! After six months it's finally happening. I'm a little sad because I love the people here, it feels like my home, and I have absolutely loved being companions with Hermana Pimentel. We're really sad we're getting split up- we had a ton of fun together.
It's pretty great how we found out about transfers....
Okay, so I was scheduled to go on another exchange with Hermana Ricks (My roommate from college) but she was crazy busy, so she called up and was like - Hey! Could you do an exchange with Houston 1? And we're like "Yeah!" - That's where Hermana Watkins is serving! And Hermana Pimentel's old area. So we were like Heck yeah!! She was like "Cool. Hermana Pimentel will be going with Hermana Watkins, and Hermana Jaeger will be going with Hermana Johnson." I was SO CLOSE to being comps with Hermana Watkins. So close!!
The exchange was great! I absolutely love Hermana Jaeger. She's seriously a ball of purity and light. She's also been comps with hna ricks and she was in my Missouri City area right before I was, so we have a ton in common. She's seriously so awesome.
We met this new guy named Juan, he has walking problems, and his wife died a year ago and he's been so lonely. We taught him the plan of salvation, and it was SO powerful. He just said that he felt like he should let us in, and he was really glad that he did. He's so cute and so great.
As we were riding home from our last appointment, we got a call from President Ashton, our mission president. We were like "wha?" So I answer and he says "Hello, who's driving right now?" I said, "Uhm... we're in a biking area." haha. "...But I'm on exchanges right now with Hermana Jaeger." And he said "Oh, I was just calling because the Lord wants Hermana Pimentel to train next transfer." Daaah! So I knew that I'd be transferred from the area. :( But guess who else is training!? Hermana Dorian!!! And Hermana Green (one of my best friends from the MTC!) President told me that I should go to the trainers meeting too... and I did. It was super cool! Such a big resposabiltiy to train but they'll all do so great. Seriously like three of my favorite misisonaries.
Anyway, miracles always happen the last week of the transfer. Gloria came to church!!! I almost passed out. It was such a miracle!!!
I know the church is true, and that God loves all His children. I know that sincere prayers are answered and that God wants us to be close to Him and we can be if we seek Him with all our hearts.
Love you!
Hermana Johnson
