Transfers!!!!!

Okay.... so for my big news this week: I'm getting transferred to Lancaster 1st Ward!!! SO EXCITEDD!!! However it is going to be super hot there so wish me luck ;)  Sister Anderson and Sister Lazzarotto both served there together for 6 months and as soon as they found out where I was being transferred to they went nuts.  So I'm excited.  What makes me even more excited is that my companion is Sister Athay!!!!!!!!! We were MTC companions here 3 months ago!! SO I AM SO EXCITED TO FINALLY BE HER COMPANION FOR MORE THAN 4 DAYS!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!

For other big news, Hannah Grimes was baptized and confirmed a member of the church!! I was so excited because she was so excited and she glowed as soon as she came out of that water.  It was a super nice baptism.  Hannah and her 8-year-old cousin Cordelia were baptized together and it was so cool!  I sang at the baptism and that went really well :)

Roman and Laura came to the baptism too and they enjoyed it.  And they also both went and got their patriarchal blessings on Sunday!!! WOOOO! I'm excited to hear how they felt.  I'm going to say goodbye to them tonight and it's really hard because I love Roman and Laura so much and Hannah too.  I didn't think I'd love the people I taught this much.  I knew I'd love them, but my whole being lights up with the most unconditional love i have ever felt in my life.  I'm going to miss them so much.  Not even joking.

Oh and last Monday, we went to a Christian store to look around and I found the most beautiful ring! it's a heart and it has inscribed on it "Trust in the Lord with all your Heart... Proverbs 3:5" and I love that so much.  That I think is what I want my mission motto to be.  I'm learning how to completely trust the Lord in everything that I'm doing out here.  I've had marvelous results.  Y'all should try it ;)

So for the week I got the package from the Lewisville YW :D THANK YOU!! and I got Cora and Cassidy's letter, and Cassandra's letter, and Grandma Floyd's letter <3

Thank you so much for all of the support <3 I really appreciate the letters and i'm sorry I'm not that fantastic at writing back all the time, I'm so busy.  But as soon as I am settled in Lancaster for the transfer, I will be sending letters back <3

Oh we saw a snake on the road and we asked a member about what kind it was and apparently it was a Gopher Snake.  Still.... it was terrifying. And I took a picture.  As soon as it started moving towards the car, we sped away.  AHHHHH!

We also saw a lizard climbing on the Mullay's house.  I took a picture of that one too.  SO MANY REPTILES.

And when we were in Bakersfield today for Zone Activity, it was 110 degrees Fahrenheit.  Too hot for this Idaho girl.  Although, I'm gonna have to get used to it ;)

Anyhow, gotta answer other emails <3 Love you all!

Love, Sister Weaver

    

5/11/15 -- I'm running out of titles here....‏

So this week has been pretty good.  But first of all, Aunt Roxie.  Please know that I love you so much and I have been praying really hard for you this week.  The Lord is definitely carrying you through your trials and I pray for that everyday.  I love you.

This week has been a pretty slow week to be honest.  We have contacted tons of people but no one has seemed to want to talk to us this week.  Oh well. Everything in the Lord's timing.  We're just learning patience right now.

We did go to Susan and Guy's house this week and Guy dropped us.  No matter how many times we bore our testimonies of the truth that we know, he shoved it off and tried to debate with us.  So in the end, he just basically told us that we would never agree on things and that it would be a waste of his and our time to continue our visits.  But with that being said, his wife didn't agree with him and she's going to continue investigating.  YAY!

We also went and saw Roman and Laura again this week.  And since Roman was baptized he has noticed a huge difference.  So I'm gonna write down what I wrote in my journal.

"Tonight we taught Roman about obedience, the law, and prayers, and scriptures.  Roman said he can feel the influence of the Holy Ghost in every moment of his day.  He told us that before he was baptized he had studied a lot and only the things that really mattered for his conversion were enlightened by the Spirit.  But since he's been baptized and has the Holy Ghost with him all the time, he's getting a plethera of enlightenment and he's not sure how to keep it stored in his brain because he's learning so much."

So since I wrote that entry, Roman just keeps learning.  He's so great!

More fantastic news! Sister Anderson and I are in a trio again! Sister Lazzarotto came and joined the companionship last night and she is amazing.  Sister Lazzarotto and I went to High School together and graduated together.  We also were in a lot of the same classes.  YAY! So we're a trio again! Oh and Sister Anderson was Sister Lazzarotto's companion a year ago.  This is gonna be a fun transfer :D

So I also got a letter from my Momma and Kristin and Kenna Barney (Thanks Kenna! I'll be sure to write you back)! And a package from Jessica!!! Mail is seriously the best.

I was so excited to be able to talk to my family yesterday on Mother's Day.  I love my family.  They are the greatest blessing in my life.  Honestly, just being out here on my mission has helped me see how much I love each and every one of them and how grateful I am to be sealed to my family for time and all eternity.  I am forever grateful to my Heavenly Father for that blessing to be with them forever even after we die.

I love you all so much! Thanks for all your support and prayers <3

Love Sister Weaver
