Sorry this one is going to be kinda short and copy and pasted from assorted emails to my family and to President! But I hope you all had a great week!
This week was a really great one for Yasmin. We had an FHE at a members house on Monday with her and another family in the ward. The father of the other family told her his conversion story and testified of the happiness this Gospel brings. He said things that she really needed to hear, as did everyone else that was there. Everyone shared very strong testimonies that I really think helped Yasmin feel the influence of the Spirit. She also went to watch Women's Conference at a members home as well with the same mom and daughter and member who were at FHE and it was amazing. At one point she leaned over to me and said "You know when you're feeling super sad and then you just feel that...ahhh? Like that relief?" I explained to her that I had and asked her if she knew why she was feeling that. After she said she did't know I explained that it was because she was here listening to people say things that are the words that God wants her to know right now to help her. It was amazing also because we gave her a notebook to write things down on and she wrote down some quotes from the speakers and even some things that weren't quotes but were things that she got from what they were saying. It was very special to see her feel of the Spirit and to mature in that way. I'm very thankful that I was able to watch her do that because it helped me grow my testimony in the power of Conference. There was also a church photographer at the home we were watching at so we could maybe be in an upcoming Ensign! :O hahahah
Dina is back from Peru!! She was very very happy to see us and we were also sooooo happy to see her! She came to church and then we went to see her in the afternoon one day and she was very appreciative that we came to visit. She calls us her "little angles"! I love her so much!!! She even went to Women's Conference at the Stake Center with her granddaughter who is a member. It was a little disheartening because after women's conference we went to go see her and after chatting for a moment and asking her how conference was, we asked if it would be ok if we shared a scripture with her, she said "No, we just got back from church!" But really I couldn't help but laugh at it because she's so feisty and hilarious!!!!
So I'm being transferred!! But I have no idea where to yet!!! How it works is they just tell you if you're leaving or staying in your area but not where you go, we find that out tomorrow. and they just told me I was leaving. So Hna Green (who is in the same ward as I am right now but in the north area that I don't cover bc I'm in the south) is the only other Hermana who is leaving. So it would seem that the only possibility is that we just would switch, which is a possibility but not the ONLY one. So Hna Duncan is currently in and English ward (bc President said he was going to start rotating Hermanas and Elderes out into English) but she's leaving her area. So she could go to a different English area or she could come back to Spanish. so basically long story short, there are 3 possibilities to where I'm going to be in order of most likely to least likely, 1. North area of this same ward 2. Go down to San Clemente in a trio with Hna Garcia and Williams 3. they could put me into English work. So basically I have no idea what's going to happen! hahahah Which is kinda fun for me! But also I just want to know where I'm going! But I know wherever I go I'll be where Heavenly Father wants me to be!
Im really sad that I have to leave some of my favorite people I've ever met in my whole life and the people that I've come to love sooooo much!!!! But I know that they'll be taken care of and that I'll get to meet even more of my brothers and sisters!!!
Sorry that was all kind of random but thank you all for your prayers and support! I really can feel them! And I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love all of you so much!!! I know He has a plan for each of us that is individual and that has more happiness in store than any plan that we could come up with ourselves!!! So I encourage you all to pray to find out what plans Heavenly Father has for you and what He needs you to do to follow it!!! I love you all so much!!!!! Have an amazing week!!!!
Love,
Hermana Christensen
