Can you believe it's already a new transfer? I can't! This last transfer went by so fast it's ridiculous!
Last week we went to the temple which was so great! It was so fun to travel to the city, and so peaceful to be in the temple. I love going there and I'm grateful for the things I'm always able to learn there. Sister Precour from our branch drove us down there:) We have FHE with her and her four kids on Sunday nights, and this week I learned something new about love. She asked a question about how we can love everyone, and if that was really possible. During our conversation I surprised myself by saying something that I definitely feel is true and that the Spirit taught me. As imperfect human beings it's hard to truly love everyone, mistakes and all. But when it is hard to love or appreciate someone, we can trust in God's love. We can trust Him that they really are His children and that He knows and loves them. We can lean on that love until we can gain the love of our own. Trust in God's love, it is perfect and forever. He loves all of His children and when we struggle to love, we can lean on His love.
This transfer I will be staying in New Paltz and my new companion is Sister Perkins. She is from Florida and is wonderful! I'm excited to get to know her better and work with her more. She can be quiet, but it's a strong kind of quiet. She's super funny though, and I love her already! We have great plans and goals on how to help our little branch:)
As I have been reading the Book of Mormon and Jesus the Christ I have learned so much about Jesus Christ. He loves us so much, I know that. It's amazing to learn more about His life, upbringing, situations and how he handled them, and his infinite patience and love for all of us. I'm sorry to be sending this so late, but I wanted to send our mission Book of Mormon reading challenge home. You can start now, you don't have to follow the exact day or try to catch up, but I invite you to read with us and focus on learning more about Jesus Christ and his atonement!
I love you all! Make it a great week:)
