Well, a lot has happened in the last couple of days. I am no longer living in Arlington, although I will still be running the area. I am in a companionship of three again. We live in Alexandria and the three of us will be running the two areas. From what it sounds like, I'm going to basically be running Bella Vista by myself and having to find member exchanges in order to be able to go back. So basically I'm just living with other sisters and don't really have a companion. The other two are still going to help me if I can't find exchanges, but I'm a little bit stressed about it. I don't know what it is about this ward, but my companion from before (Hermana Alvarado) was in this area without a companion for a while too. So...I'm going to need a lot of prayers...PLEASE!! Last night, when Hna. Basurto was saying goodbye to everyone it was like I could feel the weight being transferred to my shoulders. I don't know how long this little arrangement is going to last, but I guess I'll just have to trust in the Lord that He knows what He is doing. I now live about 45 minutes away from the chapel and am going to have to find a member that can meet us half-way every Sunday so that I can go to the PEC meetings and sacrament and everything. We have a baptism in Bella Vista this week...but there's also one in Oldetown (the other area that we are running). My day will start at about 8:00 when we have to leave in the morning, I'm going to be at the church all day until about 6:00 (preparing the font for the baptism and then the baptism itself) and then I'll get a ride to the baptism here in Oldetown and then we will go home at about 9:00. Don't ask me when I'm going to eat. I haven't figured that one out yet. I guess baptism refreshments will have to do. I hope I don't sound like I'm complaining. We all know that I like a good challenge:) I'm just grateful that I get to continue to work with the people in this ward. I really do love them. You always hear missionaries talk about that, but I never realized that you could love so many people so much. It's great to be able to feel a little piece of the love of God. It's a good reminder of how He is always there and that He has the same type of love for us. We are, after all, His children. So my companions right now are Hermana's Alvarado (yes, the same one as before) and Funch. They are both really good missionaries and they are going to be helping me out a ton. This transfer is definitely going to be one where I learn A LOT. Hopefully I'll be able to remember everything that I learn. The baptism this week is for Renata Vidal. She's 13 and her dad and sister are members. She was actually an investigator from before I got here. One day Hna. Alvarado called me from her other area to let me know that I should go check on her because she had been thinking about her a lot lately. When we went to see her, she told us that her sister had been wondering how to get a hold of the missionaries to come back and teach her. We set a baptismal date with her in the next lesson. She is great and so willing to obey all of the commandments. Remember her in your prayers. The last week before baptism is often the one filled with the most trials and difficulties. I hope everything is going well for everyone. If you're suffering hardships in your life right now just remember that "the Lord shapes the back to fit the burden placed upon it." That knowledge has helped me through more than I can ever tell you. I know that the Lord is aware of each of us and that He gives us the opportunities that we need to be able to become like He is. How can we expect to learn if we never have any experience or times to put our knowledge and faith into practice? We just have to let the Lord guide us through everything and trust that He knows what we need. I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored and that we have a living prophet to lead and guide us. The Book of Mormon is true; and by reading it we can receive personal revelation, the strength, and knowledge that we need to overcome anything because it testifies of Christ. He is the source of all comfort, strength, and happiness. There is no other way.
