So I am getting transferred to Wolfville Nova Scotia! Elder Prince
will be my zone leader and will be serving in the same ward as me which is
called Kentville ward. I am leaving Wednesday afternoon on a fairy to New
Glasgow with Sister Davis who is going home as she has completed her mission,
and then will be going to Halifax to meet my two companions yes TWO and then we
will drive from the mission office to Wolfville!
haha Okay lets get started on this week and then you can be filled in on
all the details. And dont worry mom I am okay with leaving!
So this week I went and served in Riverview in Newbrunswick for tuesday and
wednesday as Sister Judd had to go to leadership training in Dartmouth. It was
great I served with Sister Lewis for those days who I served with at the end of
last transfer as well! Its crazy how much time flys I cant believe this transfer
is coming to an end and this week ! Crazy, literally felt like it was pday
yesterday. So in Riverview I drove the Charlottown Elders truck around- a little
scary considering have never driven a truck before! But we managed to get
by!
Friday we were able to pick up a new investgator whose name is Paige and
her middle name is Marie as well! She is very open minded and really interested
in wanting to learn and come to church! She wasnt able to this week, but
hopefully next week! So we taught Matt West one more time on thursday but he
wasn't accepting our message ... But we certainly did all we could do with our
purpose and I feel great about that!
So the Elders had a baptism on Saturday! It was great, I just love
watching baptism. What a great thing watching someone enter into a covenant
with the Lord?! Nothing better!
Christain was able to attend the baptism and he loved it, he was really
moved by the messages at the baptism this week and church. He said he felt like
he needed to be baptized right then like TODAY! Ugh! My heart just melts
thinking of him and how elect he is. I love teaching him and truly is such a
blessing. The Spirit is just flowing and pumping whenever we teaching him and he
has a lot of good hard question and the Lord just fills are mouths when
answering them. He always has a "PLT- post lesson txt" hah you know instead of
a "PDT- post date text" he gives us a PLT and thanks us for teaching him and how
much he appreciates it - its really great. Truly is a testimony builder when
you see someone experience conversion from BOM reading and prayer, and see the
Spirit testify to them of truth. I love teaching with Sister Judd we really are
so unified in our teaching and can switch a lesson at the drop of a hat if the
Spirit directs us to and still be unified and with harmony. I am really going
to miss her, and our lessons and teaching skills with one another, but its okay
I have faith that the Lord will qualify me in my next area!
Anyway so here is the news about transfers - usually Saturday on the 5th
week we open up transfer letters. This Saturday morning the Zone leaders called
and said that there will be no letters and president will be calling whoever is
trasnferred. So all day Saturday no call! We actually talked to one of the
assistants and they didnt know - or so they said !haha. But all the way till
10pm Saturday night Sis Judd and I were like whooo hooo! 6 more weeks together
and a baptism! and BOOM 10:15 pm strikes and an in coming call - President
Leavitt. Prior to that I had been joking with Sis Judd lying to her and being
like "oh no! PL is calling" -- as a joke. So at 10:15 when I said that, she
didnt believe and well it was actually happening! So I am being transferred to
Novia Scotia I will be serving in a great ward, the Akadia University is there.
There will be 11 sisters in my zone. The Sisters area has been open for 1 or 2
transfers. And I will be in a trio. I will be serving with Siter Laxton who
has been out a transfer less than me and Sister Thompson who was in the MTC with
me. I will be the senior companion. Sister Thompson is having a hard time, So
Sister Laxton and I are going to work on motivating her and strengthening her to
enjoy her mission. So yea it felt very surreal hearing this! Like Charlottown
is my home! It’s funny, I think I will feel "home sick" for Charlottetown, but
no not really. I just feel so blessed to have served in such a great ward! I
have formed soooo many great relationships with soooo many great people! MOM
and DAD we are definitely coming back here to visit! We have sooo many amazing
people to see. The Steens want to hook me up with her grandson haha. But i
just love missions I have spiritually gotten to know sooo many people that will
be friendships for eternity that I would of never known. Words cant express my
gratitude I have for being blessed with these opportunities - I cant put to
words the memories! I got everyone to sign my book and took pictures with lots
of people and we have lunch and dinner appointments stocked on everyday from
yesterday till i leave! The Bishop and his family are having us over for dinner
tomorrow and making us Japenese food as he served his mission there! I just
love them all so much! Have grown sooo close with all the families! Mary
macachern (emilys mom) took your info mom and may be in alberta soon and wants
to pay you a visit! I LOVE MISSIONS!
It pains me to say goodbye to our great investigators and LAs we are
teaching but not my will the Lords will! But as weird as it is and how sad as
it is to leave the people I am teaching, my heart feels great to go to this new
area! I know its from the Lord and where he needs and wants me, and I have many
things to learn in the future and lives to bless!
Shawn, Ball and Anita i was able to see yesterday and they were all able to
leave the nicest notes in my goodbye book! Its amazing Shawns understanding of
the gospel and what he left! He is the one from China- he has been praying
reading and the Spirit has truly helped him understand that God loves him and
helps him! When we first met him he didnt know if there was a God! Its great
the gospel is true!
Montigue Sisters are in Charlottown today and we are filling our boots full
of PEI sutff for Sis Davis and myselfs last pday on the island. I love the
sisters I’m serving with! Anyway I know that the future is as BRIGHT as our
FAITH! Faith is what makes miracles happen and charity is what makes things
easy and happy!
I LOVE the gospel - this morning I was reading my patriarchle blessing and
I just LOVE our heritage I am soooo grateful for my family living and who have
passed on the other side because you all have created this strong foundation for
me us and our family!
it's great!
Have a great week and read BOM daily!
Sorry for scattered email but have to go! Have faith and be an example!
Hope everything works out well with Taren I will keep her and Dave in my
prayers!
xoxoxo LOVE
Sister Pizzey
