It's been quite the eventful week and amazingly enough transfers are on Wednesday. I found out this morning that my new companion will be Sister Watanabe from Japan. She doesn't speak much English so that will be interesting but she is a sweetheart and I'm very excited. I will continue to serve in the Tongan area so I'm beginning to think that I should've been more diligent in learning Tongan. Tell the Clarke's thank you so much for saying that it looks like I've lost weight, I really appreciate that comment. It was really good to see them although it is a little weird to see people I know. I'm actually pretty shocked that I've been in this area for so long but I look forward to a great transfer.
This transfer I have also been called to serve as a Sister Trainer here at the Visitors Center! That means that I now have stewardship over 16 sisters and will do one-on-one training with each sister plus weekly group training with Elder Eubank and the other Sister Trainer, Sister Smith. It's a huge responsibility but I'm excited to be trusted with so much. We are all a little surprised though because I haven't been out very long at all to be serving in such a capacity. I'm happy to invite in this new opportunity to learn and grow.
I had some really great experiences in the Visitors Center this week. One experience in particular that sticks out to me was a tour I was able to give to a man from Malaysia, a man from Nepal, and a man from Pakistan. They all 3 wanted to learn more which is really exciting but because there are no missionaries in Pakistan, I could only leave that man with a copy of the Book of Mormon. The spirit was really strong and I just feel so blessed everyday to be here sharing the gospel with people from all around the world. What a blessed and divine calling I have!
Good news, we have finally received official word that the Temple will be reopening in November. Woohoo!! There will be an open house and it will surely be an amazing time to be here in Laie. Love you so much!
