Well you will NEVER believe it...I am getting transferred.
I was just as shocked as you are!! When I first heard the news I was devastated. I am feeling better now though. I have really learned to align my will with the Lord's, and I know I am needed somewhere else.
So any guesses where I am going?
I am going back to Lubbock! I will be in the YSA ward there on the Texas Tech University Campus. The ward is SO big that there are 3 sets of missionaries that cover that ward. I will be sharing the ward with my wonderful old companion Sister Kramer and her new companion, and then also with the assistants to the president. My companion is Sister Soules. She is AWESOME! She also is a Sister Training Leader! This transfer is the first time in our mission that STLs will actually be serving together! We are going to make a great team! I am so excited!! I know a few people from the YSA ward there as well, and I am excited to be in Lubbock because I will be able to see old faces from my first area! So it definitely has its pros.
I have learned so much these past 6 weeks, and I have fallen in love with the branch. Our branch president is incredible. I look up to him and his wife in so many ways! We both thought I would be here till I went home. I hope I made a difference.
Of course the people I will miss most though are my recent converts. They were pretty shocked too.. Luckily I can just add them on Facebook in 3 months though... so weird. ha ha.
The girls we knocked into last week we are teaching tomorrow.. and there are many others we are working with I will have to say goodbye too, but I know Sister Davidson will continue to help the work here in Canyon. I went on exchanges this week up to Dumas too. That was a lot of fun. I always love how much I learn on exchanges. Even though I am the one training, I feel I always learn so much more in return.
D's baptism was incredible!! He is the most humble person I have ever met in my life. Its just so amazing how life changing the gospel is, and to think only a few weeks ago he knew nothing about the church!
I love this work so much! I can say I know for a surety this church is the only true church on the earth today, with Christ at the head and the restored priesthood power to perform all the saving ordinances required. I am going to give these last 2 transfers my all!! Miss you all!
Love,
Sister Turner
