Dear
Mom, etc,
Well, here we are at
the end of another transfer! No surprises really, we knew that Hermana Hamblin
would be leaving (she has been here in Willits for sixth months) and she'll be
finishing out her mission in San Rafael. I'm going to miss her bunches, she has
really taught me a lot. I'll be staying here in Willits again and "leading
out the area" as they call it. One side of me is a little stressed because
it's a big responsibility, but on the other hand I'm not too worried.
Everything will work out. I recently rediscovered 3 Nephi 13:27- "Which of you by taking thought can add
one cubit unto his stature?" Just like you can't be taller just because
you think you should be, it doesn't help to worry and fret about the situation.
I'm going to work hard and do what I know how to do, because that's really all
I can do. Heavenly Father's children here are in His perfect hands, luckily not
mine, and He will take care of them. Even though I will really miss Hermana
Hamblin, I am looking forward to another adventure.
Speaking of
adventures, this has been a pretty crazy week too (no surprises there either).
I think one of the weirdest things was the crazy lady who was harassing us and
following us as she was yelling at us at the top of her lungs and trying to
"run us out of town." The saddest part is that we could smell the
drugs so strongly. They consequences of it are so drastically obvious and they
can truly damage you, yet there are people everywhere who are so tangled up and
weaved into it that they can't see that there is an escape route. There is a
reason why sin is so often referred to in the scriptures as a chain, and the
Gospel is called freedom. Heavenly Father's commandments are not intended to
lock us up and restrict us, but to keep us free.
Another random thing
we did this week was work with some people from the MTC and from Salt Lake who
wanted to observe our studies and work, and then to discuss some new pamphlets
with us that the Church wants to introduce. God really is hastening the work
and putting so many useful tools in our hands that will help us bring His
children safely back to Him.
Well, here's to
another six weeks here in Willits! Always an adventure! Thank you all for the
love and support, I hope everything is going well!
