Alright everyone! Gonna probably be a shorter one this week! I know my emails are already pretty short but really only one thing happened this week haha!
We had transfers on Wednesday and I said goodbye to another AMAZING companion who I will miss so much. But I was going to be receiving a new one so everything was okay :) when I got to the transfer lot I was told that my new companion wasn't going to be there until 10 PM (because she was flying in from Texas and we all know about the snow in Texas) So I was going to be in a quad with Sister Burch, Apelu, and Whitney until later that night. Well. Later that day the assistants tell me that the other flight was canceled...and that she wasn't coming until SATURDAY NIGHT! This was sad but also exciting because I got to be companions for a few days with Sister Burch again!!!
I got to teach in their area for 4 days, in English! I always thought that people were joking when they say it's harder to teach in English... they aren't joking. My brain could only think of some Spanish words sometimes haha! We had a lot of fun those few days. I even had to do some tours around the visitors' center with just the senior couple. Kinda wild.
Eventually Sister Hardy arrived!! She got here late Saturday night, and when she got here our car wouldn't start or unlock...turns out she has really bad luck because the battery was bad. We had to get a new car! We got home and she got settled in fast. She's so excited to get to work and change some lives. It's going to be a good transfer :)
Today I've been thinking a lot a out the atonement. There's a verse in the Book of Mormon talking about the Savior. It says "He shall go forth suffering pain, afflictions, and temptations of every kind". I read that scripture so often when I'm giving a tour at the visitors center. He quite literally knows every. single. feeling. I have. Physical, spiritual, and emotional. He knows me. And He knows you. If there is one thing I know, it's that He sacrificed Himself for all of us and that none of us ever need to feel alone. He didn't atone for perfect people. No one is perfect. He atoned for the sinners, for us. I'm so grateful for his love.
Love you all. Have a great week.
