Up and Down 11/10/2014

Had a busy week filled with many uplifting and some not so lifting things

 

Uplifting: Sisters Conference, service, and cookies.

Had an awesome time at Sisters Conference. Got to hear so many spiritual talks and presentations about self worth and ways to do that. Lots of tears and hugs, very girly stuff, but I pulled through.

Did a service project with all the other missionaries in my zone. We 'painted the town' by painting the fire hydrants in very bright colors I still have paint on my arms and legs :D It's been 3 days. Good thing its cold enough to wear long sleeves.

Made my mom's recipe for cookies with some members and they were delicious :)

 

Not so lifting: Biking in the rain, forgot my camera, and transfers.

We biked to the church in the pouring rain. Buckets of rain. Thank you mom and dad for the rain proof coat. Sister Aumua did not like it, She is used to warmer weather in Hawaii, but we survived.

Forgot my camera in the car of the Missionary Couple that gave us a ride from 'Paint the town' so I wont see that until next Zone Meeting or Zone Conference.

 

TRANSFERS ARE COMING.

 After 6 weeks of being with Sister Aumua I feel like she is going to be transferred to another area. She has been here for a total of 3 transfers now (18 weeks) With any missionary being in an area for 6-12 weeks I'm pretty positive she's going. The hard part is that we don't know until tonight. Usually we get a call Saturday with where we are going and who we will be with, but they changed it now so we get a call Monday night if we are leaving, then on Tuesday we find out who our new companion would be and where we are even going. It's different but I know it's what the Lord wants because I know President Taylor wouldn't do this to experiment, but that he was prompted by the Holy Ghost to make that change. So I completely trust that what ever happens will happen for the good of this area. I hear there will be many changes in the areas missionaries serve they may be combining areas. I will let you know more about the excitement and not so anticipated thrill of transfers.

 

Love y'all, remember Families ARE forever no matter what challenges come. Or in other words OHANA. Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind.

 

Love, Sister Baker
