Friends and family!
Well yup, transfers happened and you'll never guess what happened (unless you've been on Facebook then you probably can... haha)! Sister VanDenakker and I are back together!!! Yup, we have been reunited after 9 months! We are up in the Mt. Vernon area in the Bow Hill Ward. I already love it! So here's what went down this week
☀️Highlights☀️
- Transfers were on Tuesday. It was sad to leave Armar and Sis Inskeep but this is going to be way fun up here in Bow Hill!
- The ward is awesome and so missionary minded!
- We got to help clean an elderly lady's windows and her house looked liked time stood still from when she decorated it in the 70's.
- I got to hang out with the sisters in my last zone before transfers.
- We went to Oak Harbor yesterday and through Anacortes (my first area)!! It was pretty awesome and also weird being back there together.
🥤Spiritual Juices🥤
This week I've been thinking about trials. These are something that none of us are exempt from in life. We all have to face our fears, overcome weaknesses, and hit our breaking point. But why? Why does it have to be so hard? I thought about this for a while and it made me think back to my swimming days. Man there were some days where I would just look at a set and think "Is he trying to kill us?!" There were so many times that I thought I wasn't going to make it through it (Coach Kirsten can attest to that). It hurt so bad and I felt as though every part of my body was jello. But as time went on, by doing these hard sets again and again I was able to become stronger and stronger. All those hard sets weren't just to cause me misery (even though I thought they were in the moment). No, my coach knew what was best for me and what would be able to help me succeed. The same goes for life. Our coach, Heavenly Father, knows what is going to help us succeed in life and, yes, it's going to be hard but we don't have to do it alone. Our Savior is there to give us that extra push we need to be able to finish the race. So as we "submit cheerfully and with patience" (Mosiah 24:15), we can become champions in the end!
I love and miss you all and hope you have the best week!
Kia Kaha,
Sister Twede:)
