changes, changes, changes

Lots and lots of changes. Like transfers happening this week... and so I may not be emailing next Saturday, but we shall see....

So... I'm hearing a lot of moving things, but not anything definite.... what's going on? Becky mentioned she's moving closer to her store, Amy mentioned something about packing, is the Orem House being sold?And I just got an email from Amy saying it is. Where will I be going after my mission? So I can tell my mission president, etc. I’m guessing Georgia, but nothing’s definite, eh?

That’s the one thing that is constant in this mission: change. Like yesterday, we all were informed that there was a meeting that we all had to go to at 8:30 last night. None of us had been informed of it beforehand, except those in it, and all of us were wondering what it was going to be about, but President Holmes made a rule about no speculating, so not tooo many rumors were flying around.It turned out just to be a movie night, where we watched a movie about a young man who went through a huge trial (being really good at athletic stuff, then becoming a quadriplegic) yet he always had a good attitude. It was a good thing to watch. Then we saw a clip of Elder Worthlin’s last talk, Come What May and Love it, and both movies were really about attitude and how to have a positive/good attitude, no matter what happened. It was something that many of the sisters needed, including me to some extent. I think we all have times when we have a bad attitude and just need a little uplifting so we can see things better.

President Holmes likes throwing curve balls at us so we don’t get complacent and we are able to rely more on the spirit. Like this last transfer he called one of the sisters who’s more or less in the middle of her mission to be an Assistant to the President, which had never happened before.
So the last two days, sister Cox and I have been working on a manual for the new Zone leaders for next transfer about family search district, since both of them will be brand new… or at least new as zone leaders. I’m a little anxious to hear what will be happening and so on, and part of me can’t wait until Monday to hear what’s going on, but at the same time, I don’t want to say goodbye to the friends I have that are going home. Sister Kreiczer is going back to Hungary, and sister Ward is going back to Australia. I’m planning, sometime after my mission, to do a world trip to see all the sisters that I met and became good friends with on my mission. So far on my list I have Hungary, Australia and Switzerland, we’ll see how much it grows… I’m planning on learning at least a little of all the languages that are here on temple square… about 50ish all together.
Oh… my book of mormon broke earlier today. It was sad. The binding was already starting to give way, but now it’s really sad. I gave it to one of the senior elders to fix, so hopefully it will be all happy by tomorrow… if not I have an extra one I can use. Poor thing.

OH! I need pictures! I have ones from David and Melissa’s wedding, but I haven’t had any pictures from any one from that time, other than one from Amy. So pretty please with sugar on top?

Umm.,.. and if I haven’t answered any of your questions, please email them again, chances are I thought I answered them and didn’t realize I hadn’t.

Love ya all! I’m prayin’ for ya’ll!

Love the sister of the Durtschi of the Sarah Sort.
