Hello Everyone!
It's the final countdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am LEAVING and so is Sister Andruski!
New address ~
Sister Monica Schmidt9011 S Medifor Road
Cheney, WA 99004
Our area is being swept! President Dymock said that it would be good to have a clean slate since a lot of his good missionaries have struggled here. I am going to the Silver Lake Ward which is in the Spokane West Zone and I will still be the STL. I served in the Sunset and West Terrace wards there for 6 months! I am excited to go back! Silver Lake, Sunset, and West Terrace wards meet in the same building!!!!!! I'll get to see the people I met there before I go home and I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
My new companion is Sister Readhead and this is her 3rd transfer out! She will most definitely keep me going! Not that I am having problems! I am going to miss this area! But I am ready for change! When we told the ward on Sunday they were not happy to hear that we are leaving! They told us that they don't want Elders... good thing sisters are coming in!
Downtown Moscow! |
We are having to say "see you later" to a lot of people today before we leave tomorrow. Also, Sister Andruski and I will be going on a road trip tomorrow to Spokane to meet our new companions! Pray that we make it there safely!
Good-bye Idaho! |
Hello Washington! |
On Tuesday I went to MLC (Missionary Leader Conference) and it was amazing like always!!!!!!!!!!! We were taught about Moses (Exodus 3-4) and how he struggled with his calling and the excuses that he gave to the Lord and then we read the Lord's responses to him and they were full of love and encouragement and support! Sister Dymock gave a training all about commitments and how we need to be committed to the gospel and that we should NEVER fall away! I gave this training in our zone training and it well really well apparently. Everyone said that I did a good job and that I got really intense when I committed everyone to make an oath with themselves to never fall away! I will NEVER fall away from this Gospel because it is Christ's! The final training was given by the assistants to the president and it was on using technology with members! Since we don't have technology (Ipads or smart phones) we are encouraged to have members use theirs for hastening the work. The reason we have technology is to hasten the Lord's work! It is not for wasting time by playing bingo up until 3 am. So everyone reading this email should go onto their social media and share the #LIGHTtheWORLD video on your Face Book page! DO IT!
Today has been crazy! We have been all over the place but I think I have gotten better at packing! haha :) I am going to miss Moscow but I am ready for a change of scenery! I will be close to the Fairchild Air Force base and the airport! I miss seeing planes!
I love all of you and I miss you all! Toodaloo!
Sister Schmidt
