What an awesome transfer
call that
was!!! And... I love it already! I'm in a trio with two
beautiful sisters, training Sister Rindlisbacher! Sister Mathison (the
one in the middle) goes home on the 20th, so we'll only be a trio for a
couple of weeks.

This week was super crazy. Leaving
Callaway was a little harder than I expected it to be! I have come to
love so many people there, and those goodbyes were rough. Especially
leaving my sweet Sister Rohwer! But, on Monday we went to Panama City
Beach with some missionaries in our zone and had a BBQ... in the RAIN...
It was so much fun. Our zone/district was so great. Then we had
district meeting and district activity on tuesday which was also super
bittersweet! Two of us were getting transferred, and three of them were
going HOME! So there were lots of goodbyes. Then we played a game called
"Whack a Cracker" (... i know, i know.) So basically it looked like the
hunger games in the church field with pool noodles. haha it was super
fun. Then to end my days in Callaway, Sister Rohwer and I taught the law
of Chastity to Walt. haha gotta go out with a bang I guess! We had a
fun road trip to Tallahassee Tuesday night, stayed with some sisters,
then got our cute companions Wednesday morning!

It was a
surprise to me when I found out we were going to be in a trio! Sister
Rindlisbacher and I met, then after some anticipation we found out we
would be serving on FSU campus and would need to go to Crestview to pick
up our other companion. So we had a LONG car ride to get to know each
other. You guys. She is ADORABLE! I love her so much! I keep forgetting
she's new.. she rocks the missionary life.
Sister Rindlisbacher is from Rexburg, Idaho and Sister Mathison is from South Jordan, Utah!

All
in all it's been a good week! Not a whole lot more to report on we're
all settled in here and super excited to get to work! No car.. all
walking. And bikes, but it's easier to walk here. Hello sore feet and
Saturday P-days! ;)

Once again, the mission life is the best life, and I'm SO EXCITED TO BE A SEMINOLE!

To end, President Uchtdorf said, "Whether
your testimony is thriving and healthy or your activity in the Church
more closely resembles a Potemkin village, the good news is that you can
build on whatever strength you have. Here in the Church of Jesus Christ
you can mature spiritually and draw closer to the Savior by applying gospel principles day by day.

With
patience and persistence, even the smallest act of discipleship or the
tiniest ember of belief can become a blazing bonfire of a consecrated
life. In fact, that’s how most bonfires begin—as a simple spark.
So if you feel small and weak, please simply come unto Christ, who makes weak things strong,
The weakest among us, through God’s grace, can become spiritually
strong, because God “is no respecter of persons.” He is our “faithful
God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep
his commandments.”
