Hello,

This Morning was CRAZY! so I'm staying in Queen Creek for another 6 weeks making it 9 Months in total here!!! HALF OF MY MISSION!  I'm totally fine with that BUT they threw in a curve ball this morning and took away 2 of my favorite wards and so now we are white washing into two new wards....I wanted to cry! its crazy how attached you get to people and areas here when you are with them ALL the time and when you are just so focused on helping them! I am excited for the new adventure to white wash into a new area and that is what i have always wanted, but I'm still very sad!

I have a Testimony of receiving answers to prayer.   This morning was rough and so after the heartbreaking news I knew that there was nothing that i could do but to pray and receive a confirmation for myself that this was a change that Heavenly Father needed Sister Doll and I to do- OH ya I forgot to tell you that Doll and I are staying together too! My baby and I will be together for 6 months! CRAZY- During that prayer the biggest sense of peace came over me and i KNEW that even though i didn't like that change,  it was inspired and that we need to be there! What a great blessing that Heavenly Father has given us, that we can pray to him and receive comfort and peace.

 "Council with the Lord in ALL thy doings and he will direct you for good." Alma 37:37

This is going to be a weird change because pretty much everyone we were teaching was in the San Tan Park ward but i know the elders and they are great so it will be good for the area.

This week was GREAT! we got in  doors of those we haven't seen for a Very long time! We have a lesson with that 9 year old's parents Thursday,  which is great,  BUT now we wont be there haha. well, we might be to introduce them to the elders but that's it.

one things for sure... ITS TIME TO WORK. . .and i am excited for that! I fee like we've been transferred but we really haven't. This week has been a Very humbling week and Heavenly Father has been by my side the whole time.

 I love this work, its not easy, but it is the best work that I have ever done. I am a child of God and so are each and every one of YOU!

I love you all so very much!
