Tuesday night was suppose to be when we found out about transfers but president sent out a text around 10:15 that he needed to wait until tomorrow and seek further revelation. Well Wednesday morning I was so scared. I found out I was leaving and doubling into a new area called clearfork. It's a huge area and is what we call the boonies, country land. I don't know many missionaries in my new zone but it will be exciting. I am going to be stl there and all the sisters speak a language so I'll be going on Spanish, French, and Nepali training visits. I am pretty terrified currently writing this Wednesday evening sick to my stomach. Nonetheless I was led to Mormon 5:23 “ know ye not that you're in the hands of God” I know everything will be okay. Change is hard, but it can be so growing and for your benefit if you allow it. Wednesday I packed and really only got to say goodbye to two members. Judith and sister Blanks. My heart is so sad. Leaving home again. Hard to leave my companion and the district.
Well Thursday at transfer was hard Lots of tears. Got to clearfork. Our apartment is a tiny acorn. Very condensed and opened. Had lots of cleaning to do. Locked myself In the bathroom and had a melt down lol what can you do. Came out and Tried to do personal study but ended up just crying through it. Talked with comp, didn't feel better. Went to bed absolutely terrified and sick to my stomach and wanting to go back to tallmadge so badly.
Friday- oh wow it's a nightmare turning into reality. Not the most positive morning lol. Woke up planned and cleaned the house while my comp showered. Nasty nasty. Then my personal study changed the game for me. It was wonderful, uplifting, comforting, everything I needed. I was not being very humble or trusting in God and I needed a comforting wake up check. We had a powerful day found new friends and got to know Bishop and some other ward members. Called everyone in the book which is very few people. Boonies are my worst nightmare but I can do it. The towns here are very spread apart so we will spend one day in one area due to traveling time. Was very awake and oym and knocked my heart out.
Saturday- found the cutest oldest library ever. It was such a vibe. Did our studies. Knocked all day long bcuz we have no friends, ended the day with 11 friends which is a new record for this area lol. How exciting. Boonies are not ideal but God needs me here so I will work hard and allow myself to grow this transfer. Change is hard but change will be good for me.
Lessons I've learned thus far, God hears My sobbing prayers on the bathroom floor, but let's me take a night before he comforts me. Sometimes we have to suffer a little so we can be prepared for his answer.
Mormon 5:23 is bussing mixed with 2 Nephi 4 I got assigned that chapter during a blessing and i think it was meant for this moment.
Trust Ourselves because God trusts us
Boonies are as awful as you imagine, but you can choose to be positive and allow it to be a good experience
New friends:
So currently we are teaching
Avery He has lots of questions but is cool, but is also moving to Medina so shucks
Bill we just found him and he came to church and ate it up
11 other friends that we found these last 3 days idk much about them, but this week when we have our second lesson I'll update.
There's two kids we are teaching but their dad is holding them back from baptism their step siblings got baptized and they want to sooo badly.
The Bishop and his wife are so cute, a bonus is they have the same couches I have back home so that about made me cry. Boonies will really humble you and make you rethink your whole life and whole mission. It's an adventure. I know God is good and he's got me and he's got you!!!
