Decatur
Azle
I'm also training yay!
Transfers are this week, amd as my title implies, I'm outta here. I've loved Decatur so much, this is a very tough move for me. BUT, there's some good times ahead!
AZLE TEXAS: I'll be heading to Azle, which is not very far from Decatur at all. I've actually had a companion, Sister Mavy, who served there. She says there's coackroaches in the apartment which is a rip because I'm very bad with bugs but maybe this will help me overcome them. Azle is another boonie place although it's not as big as Decatur is. It has a cool name though so I'm sure it's a rad place.
GUESS WHAT IM TRAINING!!: Yep...that's it. I'm training and I'm so excited! President John had a really great train the trainers meeting this past Friday. It got me all excited and overwhelmed at the same time. That also means I'm white-washing the area. This means my trainee and I will be starting at square one. I'm so excited!!! I get to welcome her to Texas tomorrow!! Also, did I mention I was excited?!?!?!
HARD WEEK: This past week was pretty hard on me. One of our friends stopped talking to us which is so sad because I won't get to see her again because I'm leaving, but I intend to write a letter. When a friend let's you down, it's hard not to let it get in your head. This week took mental strength for sure. Also, I got some personal news about the health of a loved one that has been on my mind. Lots of prayers and a Sunday fast has been done this week. If you're looking for a way to help a missionary out, this is something you can do. Pray for my family and it would mean the world to me.
SPIRITUAL THOUGHT:
Matthew 11: 28-30
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly of heart: and ye shall find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
You know how you sometimes are clenching your jaw even when you don't realize it. This week, I realized that I wasn't giving it all to God even though I felt like it. All the hard things this week made me realize just how much is out of my hands. Sometimes you stop and wonder whether a mistake or a sin or even just an accident or coincidence is really part of God's plan, or at least thats what I questioned this week. But when push comes to shove, I trust in my God who is all knowing and all loving. We can't see his plan for us and for the people we love but it's there, and despite thinking that we know what's best, there's a time when we just have to "let go and let God." He is the one that can see everything and who knows what will help us grow. It might hurt us or get uncomfortable at times but I know it's worth it. So, go to him and give EVERYTHING in your hands to him. How can we come unto him? How can we take his yoke upon us and set down the yoke of the world?
