Dear family and friends,
Wow, what a chaotic Sunday we had! The ward boundaries changed.
Everything changed. Lost Mountain no longer exists. And now we're the Mableton
sisters. It's crazy! Here's a little snippet of what I shared in my letter to
my mission president about it. :)
I'm just really happy right now. :) Yesterday was chaos with all
the new boundary changes, but the whole time I felt the powerful witness of the
Spirit testifying that these changes were inspired. I am so thrilled to see the
changes that will be coming. There will be more unity, more strength within the
wards, and the Lord will continue to hasten His work! Everything keeps
happening so quickly, and I can feel the power of the Lord guiding His children
to do His will. He has had a HUGE hand in this change! It is so amazing, and I
look forward to see the beautiful Zion that comes from it.
Another adventure--we picked up two adorable kitten friends (an
orange one and a Siamese) from an investigator and took them to Mama Jones to
keep. It was... interesting... to say the least. Needless to say, we got them
there safely and the kittens are cute as ever! :)
"Flusterated!" -Mama Jones
This is the exact word that Mama Jones used to describe how she
was feeling when she found out about all the craziness with the boundaries! It
was hilarious to hear the Southern accent with this fun word. :D
Anyway, this week has been quite crazy, ever since we found out
about the changes that would be happening soon. Yep. It's been fun!
My invitation to y'all this week is to try something new! Try
saying something new (like y'all... hehehe), eating something new (Southern
food... hint hint), or doing something new. Just change things up and get
outside of your comfort zone! Our Stake President helped us to remember that
change is a good thing. It helps us to stretch and become stronger individuals.
We learn to rely on our Savior more when big changes happen.
I know that y'all will find joy as you seek to try out new
things. Sometimes, stepping outside of your comfort zone helps you to see and
learn to appreciate the good things in life.
Remember that y'all are amazing and can do hard things. I love
y'all very much! Keep smiling and sharing the light that y'all have! :D
