Last Transfer

Dear Family and Friends!!!
WOW! What a week to say the least. Okay I don't even know where to start I guess it will start last week...
We went into Winnipeg for a Sister's Conference on Tuesday. It was such a great conference and the spirit was so strong. So many of our concerns were answered and I was so grateful for the powerful words spoken by our leaders. I felt I had a lot to apply and work on by the end which was exciting for me. When it was finished President said because it had been snowing for a day and 1/2 the roads weren't good to stick around winnipeg until we got the signal to go. We ended up staying until friday morning. We did make it back and then were in a rush for teaching and preparing for the baptism.
The Baptism was amazing everything went well. The weather cleared up so everyone could travel safely in. We got there early set up the chairs made sure the font was going. We checked the font about an hour in, and it was cold. So it had to be turned off so it would heat up again. So needless to say about a half hour before the early comers saw us filling up pots from the kitchen and taking them to the font. However, it was high and warm for them which was good because Nancy just had hip surgery in November. However, the whole baptism was a success and I am so grateful for the branch. They helped out.
Nancy called us yesterday, she told us how nervous she had been, and thanking us for the beautiful baptism with everything so perfect. She then said she had a question. She said that as she was being confirmed she felt like the hands were really heavy and her head and she was so nervous, she then had the voice say, "relax, it is all going to be okay." and she said she felt so happy after. And I was able to explain to her that was one way the spirit speaks to people, and she
said "I thought so but I just wanted to make sure." They are both amazing people. I love them very much. It was a perfect day.
Now to Transfer Calls. I had my last transfer call last night... and I am staying, jk... I am actually going to Regina. To be companions with Sister Reynders. Sister Reynders is from California she has been out 3 transfers previous to this upcoming one. She is really sweet and I am excited to go work hard there. It is an area where it is mainly tracting but things can change. I am so excited to finish my mission in Regina. Regina is like my home away from home because I started there. I have a lot of great memories in Regina, and more to come! Good thing! So I have been packing in hopes that it will all fit.... this will be good practice.
I love the gospel and the joy that it brings into the lives of those we teach. I hope that I have made as much of an impact on portage as it has made on me. It is going to be hard to leave the people here that I love. But it will be a great opportunity to return to Regina and be able to attend the temple again. Oh, how I have missed it.
I love you all. Thank you for your encouragement it really helps so much. I know that I am really blessed to have the friends and family that I do that support me through everything. I hope you all have a great week... and that you write and tell me about it. hehe.
