If our eternal marriage is based on my drawing skills...it's not gonna make it

Okay first of all. The title of my last weekly was a quote. Just thought I should clarify. Each subject line is a quote, usually from my companion, but also from members or people we're teaching. Remember that the next time one of them is a little scandalous. I can't make this stuff up y'all. 

What a mad mad week. Let's go with bullet points because that's fun. 

• Transfer news!!! Yes I'm a little shocked that they're still happening, but guess what? I'm staying in Gettysburg! I'm pumped to continue my work here and helping out all of God's children in this beautiful historic city. However, Sister Mansell is leaving me for the wild outskirts of Baltimore's classy neighborhoods. I have never even heard of my new companion so I'm super excited to get to know her and get to work! 

• I got my brand spanking new mission President! He's got some stories to share. We had a two hour meet-and-greet with him on Sunday and he just told stories about his mission and his life the whole time. It was awesome! He loves to talk and his wife has a big heart. I'm excited to continue getting to know them and see how our work changes. Definitely still sad about President Mutombo, but so happy that President Nye is so kind and loving. The first thing he did was bare his testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It was very touching to see his devotion to his Redeemer and the work he has been called to do.  

• We have a new pet! His name is Frederick. He's got claws and basically that's all we know about it. So now we have birds and possibly rats/squirrels/other gross creatures in our attic. He likes to scratch at the kitchen ceiling and disrupt our lessons and meal times. It's pretty gross. I feel violated a bit, not gonna lie. 

• Miracles continue to happen!  We found someone new to teach this week and it has been fun! Chuck is still on fire for his baptism so we're still very excited for that, and we've been having some sweet success. We love to make word searches, crosswords, coloring pages, and all sorts of fun things for the people we're teaching. We also have more puzzles so we do them as we call people and it's so much better than just sitting and calling people over and over again. I love it! 

• We are not getting any new missionaries this transfer so far, but President Nye said we could have our mission increase to 280 missionaries!! We're currently around 150 missionaries, so that's pretty intense. We basically have no notion or idea of what's gonna happen in the future. We're just coasting through and doing the best with what we've got. 

Anywho. I'm still doing amazing! Every day is a gift and blessing from God and I pray that we find ways to make it meaningful. Y'all are the best! Thanks for giving me a reason to smile! 

Mosiah 8:18

"18 C’est ainsi que Dieu a fourni à l’homme le moyen d’accomplir, par la foi, de grands miracles ; et c’est pourquoi il devient un grand bienfait pour ses semblables." Vous pouvez être un outil entre les mains du Seigneur. Espoir en Père Céleste en les temps incertains. 

Je t'aime !
