Biggest news?!
SISTER SAAL IS BEING TRANSFERRED!! Got the phone call last night at 10:25 (meaning we didn't sleep much last night) saying that Sister Doria and I are both being transferred. I guess we aren't right for Victoria any more. It is pretty sad, I am going to really miss the ward, but I know that President Tilleman is inspired. I am heading up island to Courtenay and Sister Doria is heading over to the Lower Mainland to Maple Ridge. They are splitting us up, but we have grown so close that we will be hanging out after our missions are said and done.
I have done all I have been sent here to do in Victoria, at least, that is how I am looking at it. It is going to be super hard to say goodbye to some of the families that I grew close to, but I am happy for Facebook. We have busy busy busy days ahead of us. We have 4 lessons today, 3 lessons tomorrow, saying goodbyes, updating our area book, cleaning our apartment, and packing. HA HA! It will be so interesting to see how things work out. I hope President doesn't expect us to sleep for the next few days, because I don't see that happening.
The weather here has been crazy. Sunny one day, rainy and windy the next. I am not sure how much I like the weather, it is just too unpredictable.
I have been trying really hard not to get down about our area. It has been slacking a lot. We have very few investigators, and the ones we do have super crazy concerns, and it seems like a lot of people we talk to just aren't interested. I know everyone has their agency, but sometimes I just want to scream. Maybe Elders will come in and get her up and running again.
I have been struggling being Christlike lately. People seem to get on my nerves. One Sister in our ward tore into Sister Doria for her shirt being "too tight" which is was not! Even if it was, the way she said it was unacceptable. Sister Doria chose to let it go, but it has been eating at me. I find my patience very thin. Then yesterday at Xavier's School, we were walking around. This lady asked if we knew anything about it, but we didn't. She then said "You must be from Utah." We smiled, "Yeah, how did you know." In a cold flat tone "That black name tag is a dead giveaway." She walked away. I know, I know, I know I should not have let that get to me, but I couldn't help it. Being a missionary is hard! It is good, but you are always under a microscope.
Sorry I don't really have a lot to say. I just never know what to write. We have been slacking lately, and so the miracles have slowed down. I think it is a miracle that we are being transferred. We are sucking the life right out of Victoria.
I am glad to hear everything is going so well. I pray for you all every day. I love hearing the stories about Ryan offering little prayers for me. It is so sweet of him. Please give all of them a huge hug for me!
We went to the castle where they shot X-Men! Sick! We found Hugh Jackman sitting in the study. It was pretty legit. We converted him :)
Love you all so much! Sorry, I have to get rushing.
I hope you know how thankful I am for all of you!
This has been so rewarding. There are down times, but I am trying not to let them get to me. I know that as I lean on my Father in Heaven and Christ's Atonement, I will become better. My scripture comes from the Bible. It is one of my favorites.
John 14:18.
It is so true!
Love you!
Love the gospel!
I love missionaries.
