Letter from 04/02/2012

So this week was amazing!! Not only did we hear from our beloved Prophet, Thomas S. Monson and the other men called of God!! But we had TWO baptisms!! And I baptized them!! It was so amazing mama!!
I loved it!! Ah, I cant express my feelings of gratitude. Jasmina and Ritish are amazing!! I truly do love them and it was such a miracle to be able to help them come closer to their Heavenly Father. As I have slowly begun to understand the gospel, I now know how important it is to be baptized and to make covenants with our Father in Heaven. And helping someone else to make this step is trule and honor. I will send photos next week!!

So I am being transferred......After 7 months I am making my final address as an Uitkijk Elder. And my heart is filled with such sorrow. I truly do love these people. I love their families. And I love the experiences that we have shared together. I have loved blazing through Uitkijk's jungles to find lost referrals. I have loved the different smells and tastes of what they call "wild meat"!! This is my home. And I feel so sad having to leave. At the exact same time I couldn't be more excited for the things to come. I am headed to Koewarasan to work with Elder Grange. And I know there is something that we need to do together. Someone that needs the gospel and someone that needs us. The members are great there. And I feel truly blessed to be able to serve them. I love my mission. I love these people And I love this Gospel! I just got a email from Nick Sessions! It brings such a joy to my heart knowing that my brothers are serving the Lord. That they are giving of themselves to be amongst others. This Gospel is perfect and it perfects us. That is truly the greatest blessing we can receive as missionaries. A testimony of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. A testimony of restored priesthood power and a modern day prophet. I love it. There is absolutely nothing better in the whole world.
