Transferrrrs!
We just read the transfer list and I am going up north! I
will be serving in Harbour on the North Island! :) I am sooo sad to say goodbye
to Sister Woodbury :( SO sad!!!!
This week we went on exchanges up to Nelson. Wow, Nelson is
SOO pretty!! It's green like westport, but it doesn't really rain. It's so
sunny. This was my first time actually riding on hills my entire mission - IT
WAS SO FUNNN!!!! Man, i have missed biking on hills. Yes, going up is tiresome,
but coming down is SOOO fun! We rode down this steep as hill and i was a little
nervous for my breaks but it's okay and i didn't die and it was awesome.
When i was with Sister Morris we went to go contact a
referral from the zone leaders. It was a girl our age, and she was sitting on
the porch smoking. She told us she'd been drinking because of family
emergencies that were stressing her out, and because it was her sister's
birthday. We started talking to her, and she really opened up (maybe because of
the alcohol, not too sure). But we started to share with her about how there is
a way to deal with problems in our lives that will actually fix the problems,
instead of just make us forget and leave us with a hangover. We shared Helaman
5:12, and she started to cry, there on the doorstep. She told us that she
needed help, and was ready to make some changes in her life. Then she turned to
her friend who was there and said, "Don't you just feel like smiling when
they are around?" We told her that she was feeling the spirit, and that we
were indeed messengers of God sent by His prophet. Man, this was so powerful!!
I know that if we just build our life on Christ we will have
the strength we need to be successful in our trials.
love you all!!!!
Sister Rose
