Transfers

I guess missions are roller coasters thats for sure... if you didn't have the hard hard uphills then you wouldn't have such exhilarating rushes down and have so much fun.

We still have 7 investigators which is more than most missionaries could ever say. We are so blessed. however C got into anti stuff and it made me cry.. she is so smart but she looked in all the wrong places for more knowledge :(

We got a family to teach!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Same way E committed to the lessons by "practicing" with us so we can get better but then they actually end up wanting to learn more lo, I love them. both the kids. 16 and 14 years old thirst after knowledge and have such good questions, but the reason my heart is breaking right now and my eyes keep welling up with tears...

we got transfer call this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

my best friend is leaving me... she's been called up to Edson and I'm getting a new companion.

I'm a little bit confused cause we were just getting started on all this goodness and we just learned the ward together and they love us and we are best friends and know exactly how each other works and what to say and work with each other..... BUT thats not what missions are for.

Missions are for growth. and I was getting comfortable...definately not relaxed but I was getting comfortable....

We spent the better part of the morning crying.. but we needed to put on our faces on so we could take cute pictures lol, I love that girl and I'm going to MISS her, also my mind as BUSY AND CRAZY as it has been going trying to take care of everyone and talking to hundreds of people a day drifts home in my dreams and I have had like 4 dreams where mom and dad come visit me or I see grandad or I visit home for a day and I love them but its breaking my heart!! I miss you!! Last night I had a dream that mom came on splits with sister H and I and I just kept trying to hold on to mom's hand cause I didn't want her to leave haha. ugh no, im crying again... DANG IT!!!

I have never felt so heartbroken and happy at the same time.
I know I'm supposed to be here. I know that it's all supposed to work out this way and I'm REALLY gonna learn how to rely on the Lord to help me remember everything about this area and where to go and and HOW to get there and that I'll be able to make friends with Sister B as well :) I'm sure she's lovely.

Welllllllllll, I'll stop being a downer and tell you about this week :)

We've really gotta learn how to get investigators to progress now cause we haven't had real investigators for so long cause we have just been finding so much and now we have so many people to teach we don't even know what to do with them haha...

sooooo we are going finding lots still, but studying a lot more the lessons and how to apply them to all the peoples needs...

3 different of our invsetigators are from all over the world.. one from cuba one from swaziland and some from brazil... its SO COOL!! :) the family from swaziland is a little harder cause the lanuguage barrier but were just taking it slow and asking lots of questions to make sure they understand. its not about learning another language but learning the language of the spirit and how to teach them to understand it. crazy stuff

we have felt the fire of family history this week. there is a native family we are working with and she started doing family history and alot of the names are still in cree so not only are we finding the people we have to TRANSLATE their names!! its sooo neat.. and i have NEVER felt such an urgency when we have been at their home when we talk about family history.. there is alot of her family taht needs their work done.. and its made me soooo excited to come home and do mine!!! or at least learn it :) I love it :)

I love you all I dont think I feel like writing much more :/ but I'll keep you posted on how it goes with everything next week!!!

I love and miss you!!!!
love Sister Douglas
