Family and Friends!!
Goodness! Transfer weeks
are crazy!! I always end up so tired and worn by the end of them! On
Monday of last week I had been told I would be going to the Ponderosa
area with Sister Follwell .. However, the Lord likes to trick me, so on
Tuesday I got a call telling me that instead of Ponderosa I would be
going to the Explorer Park ward with Sister Kipp! So here I am getting
flushed into another ward, not to mention this ward is one of the 3
Sister biking area's in the mission! So I have defiantly got my work cut
out for me! But, most of this week has been spent biking and walking...
and of course meeting the new members here. The ward is great and I can
tell that I am going to love this area already! There is A LOT of
Less-Active work to be done though so I'm ready to jump in and try my
best! ... This email is going to be kind of short because this week
wasn't too exciting.... Well it was but nothing much to write
about. But, I do have one story for all you St. Georgians. The first day
we got into our area we had a dinner appointment with a family that
just moved into the area. So, we got on our bikes and headed on over,
after storing our bikes safely in the garage we went inside where I
spotted a picture of the St. George temple and got really excited
because that is out of the norm! So of course I asked about it and was
talking about how I was from St. George to which Sister Thomas responded
'oh? What area?' and then I went on to explain that I was actually from
Washington Utah but saying so confused most people. 'Really? I'm from
Washington Utah too! Where in Washington do you live?' 'I live close to
the Green Springs Golf course' ... Well to make a long story short.
Sister Thomas was previously a Jones ... As in we grew up in the same
ward!! It was crazy! This week I have been reading in an old conference
ensign and came across a quote from Winston Churchill that I really
liked! it says: "To every man there comes … that special moment when he
is figuratively
tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a special thing
unique to him and fitted to his talent. What a tragedy if that moment
finds him unprepared or unqualified for the work which would be his
finest hour.” I love this quote! We hear so many times that we must
cultivate our talents but when put in this perspective it gave me a new
sense of urgency. If there was ever a time when God called me to do
something and I was found unprepared I think I would be crushed and
heartbroken!! So, I have tried really hard to use and develop my talents
so when the time comes I am ready to answer the call! I love you all!
