hey fam! well sister burch and i are staying in maple valley, but sister eria is joining us! we move to the apartment on saturday, so one of us will sleep on a cot until then. i'm really glad i'm staying!i'm actually emailing in renton right now because sister graf and sister eria were 2 HOURS late to transfers haha. we're still waiting for them. good times.
i'm very happy! [D] is coming SO FAR! he's totally softening and i feel that he may get baptized this transfer. a lot of great things are happening! we're working with this AWESOME guy named [J], age 24. he's totally turned his life around and wants to be baptized! we're just waiting to see if the judge will let him off parole on feb 15th, so keep him in your prayers. we've also been working with a few less active families that have started coming back to church which is awesome!!
this week will be crazy, getting used to the threesome and moving into the apartments! we're moving into a new phase of the mission! after this transfer, sisters bush, kim, and eria will go home! that will leave me, sister graf, sister sawyer and sister burch! (and sister sawyer goes home the transfer after that!) we're getting 2 new sisters from korea next transfer so that'll be fun. time is flying by SO FAST!!! i love it though. i was just talking with sister kim about what we've learned out here. i think more than anything i'm learning to forget myself. it's a work in progress...but i'm learning it's not all about me. i'm learning how much God loves His children. when we truly learn to focus outside ourselves, we find true happiness.
i love you all!!!
