Transfers.

So... this week was a really good one.  It was kind of a crazy one because... we... had TRANSFERS.  And transfers is always a little bit crazy.  Not crazy just... it involves a lot of change! :)  President told us this transfer effected 98% of the mission.  Haha... honestly sometimes I get nervous for transfer meetings.  On Monday we got the call telling us that Sister Mac was leaving Don Mueang.  Everyone was so sad.  She was such an awesome companion!  Haha... in our English class I announced that she was leaving and everyone's hands shot up.  "Where is she going?"  "Is she coming back?"  "Why?"  It was really cute!  Anyway.  As much as I always get nervous for transfer meetings... I always leave them feeling strengthened and feeling the reality of the hand of God in this work, and the reality the sanctity of the call to be a mission.  We are so blessed to be able to serve.  It's cool to see who the Lord puts together.  And what new areas are being opened.  It's cool to see the new missionaries come in!  Hear them introduce themselves.  And to see the people that are leaving the mission as well.  It's amazing to hear from President and Sister Senior.  Wow.  They are incredible.  This transfer was an especially incredible one... because a special announcement was made.  2 missionaries are being sent to Myanmar to begin work in that area.  That is incredible.  We have a couple of people in Laos right now.  But this is just the beginning for Myanmar.  You can see how the Lord's hand is over the Asia area, and doors are beginning to be opened to bless the people here.  Wow it's amazing to be here.

This week we also had a special meeting with all of the sisters in our mission!  That was a way awesome meeting as well.  It's cool to see some of the sisters that have been here for longer.  They have such strong testimonies, and they are such good examples!  Wow! :)  It's great to be a missionary.

I'm not sure exactly what else to tell you.  My new companion's name is Sister Painter.  She's actually from the same group of missionaries as all of my companions have been.  Sister Stewart, Sister Sararat, Sister Mac and Sister Painter have all been missionaries for about a year.  Annnnd.  She is awesome.  She speaks Thai really really well.  She sings.  She plays the violin.  She draws.  She is energetic.  She is way awesome!  I'm way excited for what this transfer has in store! :)  We have some awesome investigators that we're working with.  Annnnnd I'm excited.  This morning I tried to study out what kind of goals I want to set for myself this transfer.  It's really exciting. :)

Anyway.  I think that might be just about it for this week.  Sorry it's not much :)  But.  I know that this really is God's work.  And there is evidence of that... that not a lot of people probably know about!  I don't think anyone probably knows that Myanmar is now open.  Maybe?  I dunno.  But I saw His hands this Thursday in the specific transfers of individual missionaries, and also the large announcements.  His plan is perfect, and nothing can stop the work from moving forward!  

I love you guys!! :)  Have a wonderful week! 

Love,
