Hi Mom!
So guess what?...... I got transferred. I am
now serving in Coquille, which is on the coast!!!!!! Crazy, huh? I was super
bummed when we got transfer calls because I have come to love the Redwood Ward
in Grants Pass so much. They have become my family and it was very very hard to
say goodbye. Especially to Roberta and Jill and her Family. I think it will
always be my favorite area. The people that I met there have changed my life
and have helped mold me into the person I am today. But I also know that this
is where Heavenly Father needs me right now. I just barely got here and my new
companion is Sister Opheim! She was Sister Collins companion in the MTC. I just
met her about 10 minutes ago and she seems awesome! I am not a Sister Training
Leader, which is kind of a relief. I think sometimes President Young likes to
give us a scare when it comes transfers which is not okay.. Haha but guess what
else? Sister Collins is training! I am so excited for her and it has been such
a neat experience to watch her learn and grow and to see her testimony of this
work and gospel be strengthened. I feel very blessed that I was able to be her
Trainer, she is such a strong person and has so much potential :) I am pretty
excited to be serving here in Coquille! We cover a huge area but it's a very
small town. I think the population is only like 4,500 with one stop light. The
buildings i've seen so far are super old but I love it! Anyway, this past week
in Grants Pass RON GOT BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was probably the
best and most spiritual part of my mission so far. I can't explain the joy that
comes from seeing somebody work so hard for something and then finally after
years, make that change. He has such a desire to know God and Jesus Christ and
his knowledge and intelligence just blow my mind. I can't wait until I can go
back after my mission and see all of these people that I have gained
friendships with. Thank you so much for the Halloween Package!! Did you dump
like the entire candy bowl into that bag??? Lol! It was a TON! I am going to
try and send pictures today! I hope you get them. Oh! And do you know if Trevor
got transferred or not? Well, I hope you have an excellent week! Thanks for
everything! You are the best!!!!
Love,
Lyndsie :)
P.S. I will be sending another package home of stuff. I don't know how but
I have accumulated so much stuff on my mission...
