Working on 6 months. Transfers next Monday

Dad

 Its crazy that I have been out about 6 months now, I honestly cannot believe it one bit, its going to fast, I have a sister mission left, it is really wierd to think. I love every second of it out here, even the hard times, it helps me learn and grow so much. I have been really praying to heavenly father to see those little changes that are happening in me, it is so great to have a strong relationship with our heavenly father. This week was crazy, I was on exchange pretty much the whole week. When I was with Elder Christensen, we recieved a referal from a member, and we went and visited the lady, her name is christine. Teaching and getting to know her, Elder Christensen and I almost cried. I have never felt so bad for someone in my entire life for the things that she has been through. She has had one of the toughest lifes I have ever heard, and it was great, she didnt complain one bit, she didnt blame god or anything, she just wanted to start over and be baptised. She is honestly a miracle I felt so much love just helping her out, I wont be teaching her, but I am so excited for her. When I got back to Wakefield we got busy, we found out that a couple of our investigators didnt want to be baptised anymore. It was okay though, It is so great to know that its not for us, even though we would love to baptise people, it is on the lords time not ours, we just have to keep working hard by being diligent and keeping a smile on our face. I love missionary work so much, I am very greatful to be apart of building heavenly fathers kingdom. Transfers is next week crazy! I wont be emailing on Monday, it will be Tuesday, so I will let you know what happens! I love you Thank you for the prayers I really appreciate it!
