wait what

MY PEOPLE-

Well, let's just start off with the transfer news why don't we?? I AM LEAVING ALCALÁ. I have only been in this beautiful place for 6 weeks and now they're ripping me away from yet another home. I have absolutely loved Alcalá and all the people here. Hermana wood and I have become the best of friends and I'm really sad to leave her ): But I'm excited because she's training this transfer!!!!! She has to leave

tonight to pick up her new companion which means I have to be cleaned, packed, and out in a few hours. ((I have done nothing yet)). This is going to be yet another really short email, sorry guys :/ I have zero time to be able to respond to all your emails, so you'll have to wait another week.

I have been assigned to work in JEREZ. Which means I am going back to my lovely zone of San Fernando!!!! I'm going to be with Hermana Hojholdt!!!!  She's a girl from Denmark that I was at the MTC with and I LOVE her so I'm pumped!!!! This next transfer is going to be a lot different because I am going to be a sister training leader!!!!! For those that don't know, a sister training leader is like a leader of a

zone but focuses more on the hermanas. She's the one that does the intercambios and the zone meetings and things. Heavenly Father definitely has different plans for my mission because I feel very unqualified for this assignment. BUT, like my mother always reminds me, "The lord qualifies those he calls." I'm really excited for this

new journey and I'm going to learn SO much.

Quick story: so this week we had interviews with president!!!! He's such an inspired man and I love being able to meet with him. He gave me a blessing and it was so perfect for me. I am learning more and more on the mission how much Heavenly Father really knows and loves us. He said something that I that I think can apply to anyone. He said, "I bless you with the confidence to know that Jesus Christ has

been before you on this path. He has paved the way and tested the ground. I bless you with the confidence to know that even though he has been before, he will be next to you throughout your journey. You will be able to feel him at your side in every moment." Isn't that a beautiful???? Jesus Christ has been through it all and he's felt it ALL but he will never ever leave us comfortless. He is right next to us, step by step, taking it with us.

Like it says in Alma 7:

"11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

13 Now the Spirit knoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the flesh that he might take upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me."

I know with all my heart that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer.  He truly has the power to help us and succor us and comfort us because he has already done it all.

I love you all!!!!!!
