Surprise
new/final companion for a week!
Sister
Tyler and Sister Harper
|
Yep, I decided 16
companions wasn't enough for one mission, so this past Saturday I got
Sister Harper as my companion for the last week of my mission.
President Stoker gave Sister Petersen and me a call on Thursday night
this past week informing us that he needed Sister Petersen to fulfill
a special calling this upcoming transfer that would take her away
from the Montpelier area. Since I am also going home this transfer,
he wanted to avoid shotgunning us out (taking both missionaries in an
area out at the same time), so he asked if Sister Petersen would be
willing to be transferred to a new area before receiving her new
assignment so that Sister Harper could come here and learn the area
to best help transition things. What a shock all of this was to us,
but we both accepted everything and now I am here updating Sister
Harper on everything that happens in our area.

Besides the new
companion, I had a fairly calm week. I got to go on exchange with
Sister Lescarbeau in Lyndon, which was really fun. And I got to go to
a big zone conference with about half of our mission in attendance.
We had Elder Nielson (the head of the Missionary Department of the
church) come to speak at our mission. It was so amazing to receive
all the guidance and counsel him and his wife offered to us. One of
the main things that stood out to me during all of it was how much I
need to continually rely on the Lord. Not just in turning things in
my life over to him, but asking God for help with everything I
experience. I realized that I can do all things with God's help, but
I can't receive His strength completely until I ask Him to help me. I
had my testimony of a loving Father in Heaven confirmed again and
again this past week as I saw Him guiding me to know what I needed to
do to best feel like I was doing what I needed to do in my life right
now. I'm so grateful for that.
I look forward to
making this week and amazing week. My mission isn't over yet. So I
plan on loving every minute I have.
Sincerely,
Sister Tyler  |
