It's Transfer Time in the WKM!!!

So I won't be saying the "WKM" for much longer because transfer calls
are in and I am staying in Vancouver. Starting at the mission split on
July 1st to Aug 20th I will be a WVM missionary!

I am going to be leaving Salmon Creek Ward though and Sister Hiersche.
She gets to keep the area and train a brand new missionary! I will be
transferred BACK to the Clark YSA ward and the Mountain View ward. I
hope those sound familiar. That was my second area, right after walla
walla. I was there for transfers before, one with Sis Faamau and
another with Sis McGhie. I did lots of exchanges when I got to go back
for the day while I was serving in Lacamas Creek and Harmony. I know
that a lot of this doesn't make sense but I just think its cool to be
going back. Obviously I still have something to accomplish in those
wards. I am super excited because I will be serving with Sister
Neumayer. She was trained by Sister Dilworth. She took over Lacamas
Creek and Harmony when I left there with my first baby Sister Mecham.
Then she went to Clark YSA and Mtn View with Sister Duncan who was
half trained by Sister Mecham and Sister Brown (Sister Brown took over
Clark and Mtn View when I left it the 1st time). Now are you even more
confused??? Haha! No need to worry about all of that. Just know that
it is crazy how everyone is linked! Transfers are on Wednesday and I
HATE saying good bye to people. We have been going around so that I
can take pictures with people and say good bye (see ya later). Sister
Hiersche is excited to train and I know that she will do a great job!

If you didn't catch what I said before, I said what my coming home
date will be...It will be August 20th. I know that a lot of people
have been asking me that...but I didn't know until this last Saturday
at 10pm!  Anyway, I am so excited to be finishing my mission here on
the west side! I would have hated to have gone back to the other side
of the state when I have spent practically my entire mission here. I
am grateful that I was able to spend 23 weeks total on the east side
but I feel more at home over here. More of where I am supposed to be
and more belonging. I know that sounds weird but I am glad the Lord
understands and that He inspired President Greer to keep me here.

Speaking of Pres Greer...We had our last specialized training with him
and Sister Greer on Tuesday this last week. It was so sad :( When it
was over we all got to hug both Sister and Pres Greer. I didn't even
try to shake his hand like normal. I threw my arms around him with no
hesitation. But it wasn't a long enough hug, I guess that is a good
thing. I just hugged Sister Greer an extra amount of time.

My new mission President will be President and Sister Taylor and I am
excited to meet them soon! I hope to love them just as much as I do
THE Greer's but the Taylor's have mighty big places to fill. ;)

Anyways, I love you all and I hope you have a great week. I can't wait
to see you all again in just 2 very short months!
