Hellooo everybodyyy!! This week was really hectic because transfers happened!! So stay tuned for that update!
This last week I think I've gained 20 pounds because with me getting transferred last week, literally all of the members wanted to feed us one last time so we got fed literally every single lunch AND dinner leading up to transfers. It was a good time and it made me feel really loved because I didn't know the members liked me that much lol.
The first half of the week wasn't too exciting. Just pretty basic missionary stuff plus the packing I had to do. Let me tell you I have way too much stuff but that doesn't stop me from getting more clothes because on my mission I've been blessed with the ability to find really cute things for free so I'm not complaining.
On Wednesday morning I found out that I was going to be transferred to Howell, about 30-45 minutes away from Lansing. I'm now companions with Sister Griffin who was in my MTC district a year ago!! Kinda crazy that we are companions but it's been fun. On Friday we went to transfers and then we were off to my new area!! I love it so far! The ward is absolutely amazing and the people are so nice!! Plus the apartment is an upgrade from my last one so that's nice.
On Saturday we were asked to help these less active members move and while we were helping the 70-year-old lady pulled out all of her clothes from when she was growing up and said we can take what we want. I managed to walk away with only one dress so that's a win!!
On Sunday we were greeting members and this guy walked up to me, shook my hand, and asked me where I was from. I said Nevada and he went "Oh ok... Elko?" And I was BAFFLED!! Usually, people ask Vegas or Reno, and out of all places he guessed Elko. I asked how he did that and the man was just as shocked as I was!! It blew my mind. Kinda funny.
Yesterday while we were at church one of the speakers said something that I've been thinking about recently. She said, "Gratitude is a magnet for miracles." That is so true and I want to put that to the test even more!! Gratitude helps us feel so much joy no matter our circumstances.
Anyway, I love you all so much!!
Trust in the Lord
Love,
Sister Welch ♡
