6 Months and Transfers

Oh my gracious! Can you believe that I have been gone for 6 months already!? Crazy, huh? So we had an exciting week! Here you go: All the sisters in Vancouver got together on Friday and had Frozen yogurt and then went to the stake center to "fly" Hermana Watson home! It was so much fun! As far as we know this was the first time that it has been done for a sister! Usually the Elders do it but since there are so few sisters around its never been safe. We had 2 companionships and a tripanionship so it was possible and since Sister McGhie and I cover all of Van cuz of the YSA and the Hermanas cover all of Van cuz of Spanish we were able to do it with out breaking any rules and during lunch time! I recorded it but I can't send videos so you will have to wait for a year to see it! haha! On a more Spiritual note we had 3 people that we are teaching at church yesterday! I was SO excited I could hardly breathe! It was a perfect testimony meeting too...no silent moments and no crazy stories that missionaries are always scared of people sharing when there are investigators there..haha! The Sunday school lesson and RS lessons were perfect as well! I couldn't have planned it any better myself, good thing its never up to me! The YSA had a huge regional conference this weekend so we were able to go to all 3 hours of mountain view ward this week, instead of just sacrament meeting! I was so excited for that too! We got transfer calls and I am getting transfers to Vancouver East stake to serve in the Lacamas Creek and Harmony Wards! I will be serving with Sister Dilworth and I am so excited! I love Sister Dilworth and she and I get along very well! Sister Chatwin half trained her so that makes Sister Dilworth my half sister in mission family terminology. lol. I am also very sad to be leaving these wards! I worked so hard to get this area stronger and I think that I had much success but none of it could have happened with out the Lord and the Holy Ghost. My goal was to leave the area stronger than how I found it and I feel like I accomplished that goal. We have 2 people on date to get baptized and quite a few progressing investigators and others! I hopefully will be able to come back over to the area when Robby gets baptized on Saturday night, I was asked to give the talk on Baptism and it is a private baptism so its by invitation only and I got an invite! I love that family! We picked fresh peaches today and I was excited about that too! I forgot to send pictures of that so I will attach some and send this email! I am finally starting to get my letters that were sent back home and back to me again! Don't worry about the transfer messing things up, they have the correct address for where I am moving to. Its a mansion like the one it Twilight! I will be sure to take pictures! ;) I love you all so much and I hope this email finds you all well and safe and happy, just like me! Keep reading the Book of Mormon, it brings joy beyond compare...look for the Doctrine of Christ in it: Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Gift of the Holy Ghost and Enduring to the End...You might be surprised how many time you find these 5 things in the scriptures!
