Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a
wonderful week. Guess what? It was sunny for 3 days in a row! Everyone was out side because it was so nice!
Well this email is going
to be pretty short because I have some packing to do...I will be getting
transferred my last 6 weeks of the mission! I will be going to an English area. What?? I
will be pink washing (so my companion and I will be starting from the bottom). I will be training a new missionary and I will
be serving as a solo STL (so instead of having an STL companion I will be over
a few companionships myself). I am super
sad to be leaving Spanish work but I am so grateful for this new opportunity
that I have!
I was praying that
Heavenly Father would give me a way to stay focused my last transfer of the
mission. When President Samuelian called
and told me what was going on I was like...hey too far Heavenly Father ;) haha. I am
definitely overwhelmed but excited for this change! At the end of the conversation President said,
"Buckle up Sister Gifford, this is going to be a crazy 6 weeks". I
still don't know where I am going but what President has told me is that this
ward is one of the most missionary minded wards in the whole mission! There have been elders there for the last few
months and they have lost trust from the members so we will work on gaining it
back!
We had a good week here,
nothing too big that I need to mention. So, P-day for the past 7 months we have gone
to the same store to by our groceries. We
always go to a lady named Linda. She is
such a nice lady and we have had lots of fun talking to her. Today I told her that I was leaving and her
face got all sad. She asked me to give
her a hug and she started crying. She
thanked me for brightening up her Monday every week. My testimony grew of how we really have no
idea who we are impacting. I just always
tried to make her laugh and I guess it made a difference. I know the same goes for all of us. There are
people out there that we can make a big impact in their lives just by the small
and simple things.
Well I better get
packing, I love you all!
