Okay... So last week I dont know what I was thinking and I forgot to tell you the most important thing that happened all week!!!!!!! Yeesh... I was mad at myself...
So... Once or twice a year the mission has a General Authority come to the mission to train us and whatnot. So we had one of these the week before last. It's always a huge deal about who comes because it's always from the 1st or 2nd quorum of the seventy. We were honored this time to have Elder Richard G. Hinckley come to visit our mission and talk to us about how we're doing and it was amazing!!!! He talked to us for the whole morning, and told us some really great stories about when he was a Mission President and how his mission was one of the ones being used to test out Preach My Gospel. And he told us a few stories about his life and he mentioned "his father" every once and a while. It blew my mind to think that his father was a Prophet.. but not just A Prophet... but MY Prophet. I've claimed Gordon B. Hinckley as my own. haha.. But that's because he was the Prophet all throughout my youth and when I really gained a testimony of a living Prophet today, President Hinckley was the one! Oh man... It was wonderful. Afterwards, we had a lunch at the Church for all the missionaries, so all of us Sisters gathered together at one table as always to eat together, and Elder Hinckley and his wife came up to our table and they sat with us, so we had an opportunity to have a real conversation with him too. It was amazing. Elder Hinckley is a great man, and I'm am SOOO thankful to have been able to be strengthened by his counsel and testimony. Being a missionary is wonderful. It has great benefits.
So... That's what I forgot to tell you last week. Now this week.
Transfers... Well... I'm staying in Hot Springs. Sis Kiser is not. I think that's a pretty weird change considering that I've been here longer, but I'm okay with it. Hot Springs has grown on me, and I'm excited to continue teaching Betty as well as a few other investigators that we're working with closely. So we wont find out who I'm getting or where Sis Kiser is going until Wednesday, but I have an idea... Sis Rothe is going home on Tuesday, meaning that Sis Davis is companionless in Cabot. So my thought is that Sis Kiser will go to Cabot to be with Sis Davis and I'll be getting another greenie!!! That's what I THINK is gonna happen, but we'll see how accurate that is. I'll let you know next week. I really love training though, and I think that would be one of the best ways to end my mission. So. That's transfers. Keep sending mail to Hot Springs everyone!!! (HINT HINT HINT!!!!)
Oh and just some clarification. There are actually 10 Sisters in the mission and 5 areas. 3 in Arkansas and 2 in the Memphis area. So I've been in all the Arkansas areas already... Which is perfect. I'm in the ARKANSAS mission, so I'd like to stay in ARKANSAS... haha... But speaking of Memphis... The Temple. Even though I haven't gone to the Memphis temple yet, Pres Drewes always takes the missionaries to the temple the day before they go home. So I'll at least be able to go once on my mission.
And Dad. Elder Brawley is back! We saw eachother at our Zone Conference and he said he thinks his cousin ate at my parents home... So I told him the rumor was true. haha. But Elder Brawley is doing a lot better.
So.. that's the news I have this week. Everything is peachy... And hot.... freaking 80 degrees.. That's so wrong.... I'm wearing tshirts in March... haha... Enjoy the snow for me okay?? I HEART CANADA!!!! hahahaha...
THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
