Changes

Hi everyone! I'm sure you are all on the edge of your seats waiting to hear how it went leading out this week. So let me tell you all about it. 

Monday night and Tuesday morning was the last time sister Clark and I would be together. And our toilet flooded so we didnt even get the chance to do anything fun! We used all the extra towels in our apartment to clean up the water and it was still so wet. We eventually got out the box of clothes that sisters have left behind and used them to clean up the floor. It was an adventure for sure.

On Tuesday we had transfers. I am now with sister Topham! She is a great missionary. 

This whole week I have been extremely stressed. It's like Sister Clark left and all our friends dropped off the face of the earth. We haven't been able to get in contact with 3 of our friends on date and somehow yesterday none of our friends made it to church. What made matters worse is that the elders in our ward had 10 friends there. During sacrament meeting I was feeling very down on myself, feeling like I failed our area. It feels like I have the entire area just resting on my shoulders weighing me down. 

This week has been hard, I will admit that, but I've learned a lot. First, the power of prayer. And second, that no matter what is going on, you can always depend of Christ. He knows us, he has suffered all our pains and afflictions, sicknesses and infirmities. He did all that for me. He did it for you. I will admit, being a missionary is not easy. But we are representatives of Christ! He sacrificed for us, and being a missionary is just a small sacrifice that I'm willing to pay for him. 

Thank you all for your love, support, and prayers. I love you all!
