Letter #46

Hi Fam. How was your labor day? I hope it was super. I had a good labor day. How is Easty and Livvie?? I am still waitiin on those pics from JILLER... : ) he he.... Was the water pretty cold in Island Park? I bet it was cold. I had a great labor day. Dottie and Laney got baptized!!! They knew that I was gettin transfered on sunday when I told them and Dottie and Laney started to cry and so did I.. and Dottie said.. You have to be there.. so She changed it to Monday. It was the best Pday ever... I really love them a lot. I will send pics soon. I spoke on the Holy ghost at the baptism. I think it went alright
I got the call on Saturday that I was getting transferred. I have been here in Grove park for 6 months. I am very sad! I don't want to go at all. It really hit me that my next move will be home to Idaho. It really made me cry. BUT I am willing to do whatever the lord wants me to do and I'll finish out strong these next 3 months. I am really gonaa miss my friends here. I hate goodbyes.. So I just tell them "see ya later"... Taylor and Courtney were crying in church and it made me cry too.
It was a great way to leave Grove park! I feel blessed to be able to see people get baptized. This whole transfer I have been pouring out my heart and soul to Heavenly Father to help me know how to baptize. He has really blessed me.. I never worked so hard in all my life. I have noticed that I say "I love you" a lot to random people we teach and my friends here. That is definatly not somethin I did before my mission.. haha..
My companion might be gettin her tonsils out soon. She is talkin to her parents about it and hopefully she'll get somethin worked out. She always has a sore throat. I feel pretty bad for her.
Sister Collette is takin me to transfers on Wedneseday. She hates when Missionaries leave. I will be sad to tell her bye. I told her I'll be back dec 1st though and I'll visit her.
The work is great! I love missionary work and I love doin it. Today we are seeing a lot of people. The Aubreys wanted me to come by for dinnner and then we have a lot of people that told me to come by before I left. So we will get a lot of lessons. We are teachin a lady named Paula and her less active friend Nita.. PAULA has ticked to the lady vols basketball games (season tickets)... She wants to take us.. I told her that was my dream... BUT I am gettin transferred and she doesnt' know it yet.. So maybe she can still hook me up with some tickets.. Paula once had a baptismal date 2o years ago... I know she will enter into the wanters of baptism again.
I hope ya'll have a great week!! I will see ya'll soon!
Love
Chelz
