Week 32

Well as you can tell from my heading this week was interesting and a little bitter sweet! We got the news this week that Hermana Bryson that Hermana Bryson needed to go home, she got an honorable discharge for medical reasons! I love hermana Bryson and I am so sad to see her go, but I know that heavenly father has a plan for us, so even though I will miss her dearly, I know that god is watching over her. We then got the news that there was too many missionaries going out and going home and not enough new missionaries coming in. So I was going to stay in Steamboat with a new companion, but they had to emergency transfer me to Vail. My new companions here are hermana Garcia and Hermana Gutierrez. They are amazing and so far i do love Vail. We met yesterday Bishop Webb and Momma Webb and they are soo kind and sweet! I already feel like home here. 

  As I am leaving Steamboat it is a little bit triste hahah! As everyone knows a lot of things happened in Steamboat! As I look back on that beautiful area though.. I AM SOO GRATEFUL! Steamboat was the refiners fire... I learned so much there it is crazy! I know that everything that happened there was for my good! I am so thankful for the members there and for the opportunity to learn what charity truly is and what the pure love of Christ truly is! I know that I am going to remember the things I learned there and take a little piece of Steamboat with me wherever i go! The MAIN reason that Steamboat has changed me forever, is because that is where I learned of my Savior. I have learned how to trust in him and how to promise him all of myself. I am so grateful that I got to feel his love and know he was there every step of the way continuing to guide me! And he is still doing so! As I got to the Vail apartment and looked on the wall i saw a picture of a temple chair and a little quote that said no empty chairs. I know that god is mindful of me and telling me that this is where I am supposed to be! 

  Now I will tell you a little about my new companions! So Hermana Garcia is a greenie which is great!!! She has been out 8 weeks now! I feel like that was me yesterday hahah! Time just flies! She is from Texas and is super sweet. Hermana Gutierrez is almost done with her mission, she is the Sister Training leader here, and she goes home in 3 weeks! Which is crazy! She is from Mexico but lived in Utah for 2 years before the mission! I have already learned so much from them! One of my tender mercies this week was talking to Sister Linford! Saying goodbye to members was hard, but she said something that just really touched my heart! She said we have no power in the past and no power in the future. But we have power right now! And we can learn from our past and do things now to determine our future! I love that quote because I know that All of the things that I have experienced in my mission have shaped me into the person I need to be. And I know that more things will come my way to continue to shape me. And I know that RIGHT NOW as I commit myself and serve with all of my heart that I will determine my whole future! 

   SO THAT IS MY WEEK haahah! A little crazy! I am so looking forward to teaching the people here and to be in Vail. And I am beyond excited for General Conference! i hope everyone has already prayed and thought of questions for it! I know that the inspired men of our church will be guided by god to help us and answer our questions! I love you all! Estoy agradecida por todas las pruebes que tuve! y estoy emocianada para aprender mas de mis companieras y este area! Yo se que JesuCristo es Nuestro salvador y que el es siempre en las misericordias de nuestras vidas! 

Have a great week and write a lot of notes about conference! LOS QUIERO!!!!!!!!
