TRANSFERS - February 20, 2017

Hey family!! This week was a good one! Definitely had its highs and

lows, but all around really good :) happy late valentine's day! I was

remembering the little package Chloe sent me to the MTC with that had

notes from all of you. I remember Seth sent one that talked about how

now I didn't have a Valentine because I was giving my heart to God, so

it was just a normal day. This year was similar. Haha! But it was

great :)

So the saddest news on the planet: Sister Holguin is leaving Englewood

:( she's headed to Morristown as an STL to be with Sister Smith. I'm

excited for them, it'll be great! And my new companion is Sister

Allen, who I already love a ton! She's a good one. We were asked to be

STLs at the same time. She's super tall and sings really well and

she's an awesome missionary. It's going to rock :) it'll be good to

have a little change here in the area, I was getting a little

comfortable. And good news: our car coordinator texted us today and

said we'll be getting a RAV4 at our leadership conference this

weekend! Woo!!! A brand new car! So that's going to rock too :)

blessings!! But I really am super super sad sister Holguin is going.

We found out on Thursday because sister smith saw the transfer board

in presidents office and told us. So we've had time to mentally

prepare ourselves and to say goodbye to the members. She'll definitely

be missed here, the branch LOVES her. We have big shoes to fill for

sure. And I'll miss her a lot. We've become so so close through the

last three months. She's taught me so much about missionary work and

Mexico and love and patience and everything!! She's an amazing person.

I'll miss her.

Man, I'm trying to think about prioritizing what happened this week.

It was a good one. There were a couple moments when I pulled myself

together and began to think about what our purpose out here really is.

I got a little frustrated this week reading the Book of Mormon because

the people are SO DUMB. Again and again they are blessed, they get

proud, and they fall. Then they get all humble and the get blessed

again, then they get proud and fall. AGAIN. I actually got really

frustrated! But then i realized that I bet our Heavenly Father gets a

little frustrated with us sometimes too. Maybe not frustrated, but

kind of sad. We're really forgetful. We forget who we are, why we're

here, what we're doing, etc. all the time. And when we forget, we

fall! And then we get humble again, and we're blessed. And then we get

all proud and we forget. We're SO DUMB. Haha :) anyways, the Book of

Mormon is true, folks.

I'm excited for this week and all the adventures ahead of us here in

Englewood. Patricia and Michael are rock stars, were hopeful we'll go

to the temple with them soon :)

Love you guys!!
