Week 9- Goodbye my Sister Taala

HI. My freaking Sister Taala got transfered to Stockport and I'm staying here in Crewe!!! CANNOT believe my first transfer is over. Was such a shock we almost started crying but I know she's going to have such a good time in Stockport. Sister Nielson is coming my way!!! Can't wait to serve with her. 

This week was wayyyyy awesome. Spoke to everyone all day which helped us be productive and move the work foward! We opened a new area so its been very slow and hard for people to progress so it really has stretched me to know that my efforts are enough. Some wise words from dad in his talk yesterday helped me so much: “He does not expect us to be perfect right now, he just expects us to keep trying, keep persevering. Even when you feel like you’re not doing enough, your small efforts add up and become something great” Perfectly said dad!!!! I'm learning and growing in every way possible every single day. This has been the toughest time of my life but I would never take it away. Something I like to remind myself when time gets tough is the simple truth that I'm not in control. None of this is about me. So I need to stop trying to take control! It's up to the Lord, I need to LET him do his work and LET him help me. 

My missionary invitation for you all this week is to ask yourselves "Am I accessing Gods power in all circumstances? Am I giving him the opportunity to help me?" Write three different ways you've seen God's hand in your life this upcoming week. And don't forget it! Let him help you! I'll do it with you!

Enjoy Scott Fishers outfit below. No one shows up to church better that's all I gotta say. 

Hope you are all doing well and I just want everyone to know I miss tame impala so much. If anyone has any funny memes or exciting photos of literally anything send them my way. 

 Love you all and email me whenever, it makes my week!!! Praying for you always, especially all of you out there doing the Lords work with me. He is soooooo beyond proud of you. 

GOOOODBYE.
