Moving Day!

Hello Everyone,

So I am..................... LEAVING!  I am being transferred to West Spokane. I am going to be in the Sunset ward. I love sunsets!  :-)  I am nervous but excited at the same time. I am really sad to say goodbye to the members here. I love Lewiston even though is smells bad because of the paper mill. I am going to miss my zone. I am so close with all of them it is ridiculous. I am going to have to get close with other missionaries all over again. 

My new address is ~ 

2808 S. Assembly Rd. #82  

Spokane, WA 99224

So ya, I am excited!   My new companion is Sister Griffith. She has been out for 3 months, just finished training and she is tall, wears glasses, and she is a red head. Dad would approve. haha!  She apparently is super fun and enthusiastic about missionary work! I will be about 30 minutes away from mission headquarters.  I thought I would break down and cry once I heard that I would be transferred, but I didn't!  (I did shed a few tears but I wasn't balling or having trouble breathing, which I guess is always good... haha!) I am going to miss my area here. I love the people and the area and the missionaries here. It is going to be hard to say goodbye. Thank goodness for technology! I am so glad that I can stay in touch with them.

I don't really know how I am going to get up to Spokane tomorrow because no one down here just drives to Spokane on a whim, unfortunately! It is going to be hard to be in an area for Thanksgiving and Christmas where I don't know any of the members like I do here. Why does change have to be the most constant thing in this world?!?!/  Well, besides the gospel of course!  :-)   Just totally thought of the song," Should I stay or should I go."  I am going!  I will miss Sister Lovell.  We got along so well and I wish we could have been together for more than one transfer. But the Lord knows where I need to be and when I need to be there. I just need to trust Him because He always knows best. I am supposed to be in West Spokane for a reason and I can't wait to find out that reason. I am going to miss being in a singles ward, well in my case a branch. I have become so close to the members here and apparently I am too comfortable because God has decided that I need to grow. I am glad that he doesn't give us too much all at once because I can't stretch that much. I AM NOT ELASTA GIRL! (The Incredible's)  Heavenly Father knows me and I am glad.

Well on the bright side I might have my first white Christmas!!!!!!!!! That will be pretty cool. Oh and before I forget one of our investigators is "on date" to be baptized for December 12th!  Her name is Brie and she is the one who is confused about her sexuality. It is awesome to see that she is willing to make changes in her life to come closer to God. The area is picking up which was a foreshadowing that I was going to leave. Lewiston will always be a place in my heart!

I am happy that you are enjoying your kitchen Mom. I have given in ~ send me pictures when it is ALL done!  No more, no less! 

Love you and miss you! Toodaloo!
