There has been quite the mix of emotions this week. I am
being transferred to Calgary :( Yes, indeed I got the Christmas bone. We have actually known since Thursday
because....Sister Garner is training!!
There are so many members down here that are very upset and they want to
revolt/send a petition to President Nicholas to let me stay. :)
Yeah...so Friday we had to drive up to Calgary and Sister Garner got her
trainers training then we came back down to Lethbridge. It was an
eventful night. We did have dinner with
Andrea that night and we decorated her Christmas tree. She kept saying
"This is very Christmasy for me." :) Since she has been a practicing Jew
for the last twenty years...it was pretty great.
I am praying that I shall be able to come back
down South. With the influx of new missionaries coming in we feel that
Southern Alberta will absorb most of them at first because there is
such a high LDS population down here. So, "I'll Go Where you Want me to
Go" will be my theme for the day AND I will need to learn not to "kick
against the pricks".
On a happier note: some of our less actives are FINALLY
progressing!!!! One family made it to church and the mother told us that
she realizes that she has been a big disappointment to her mother and
she wants to have what her parents have. She notices how the gospel is
helping her parents get through a hard time right now and how it has
made them happier.
Oh- a note-so-happy-note. Due to the influx of missionaries coming
in and the time they will be spending at the MTC being reduced by 1/3
all of our transfers are going to be moved up one week. So...I shall be
coming home a week early. Ba-humbug.
I'm trying to think about what else happened this week, but the major event of finding out Sister Garner kind of takes the cake.
I hope all is going well and we shall talk to each other soon! :)
Hugs and loves!
-Sister Douglass
