Wow. Transfers always seem to surprise me.
I am leaving Solvang. I will be serving in Paso Robles. I will be in the Paso Robles 3rd Branch! I have heard many great things. I just think it is funny because last week I said, "The one place I don't wanna go to is Paso! Because i don't wanna sit in the car for 3 hours after transfer meeting just to get back to my new area!!" Paso is THREE hours away from Ventura!!!! CA-RAZY. Haha. And look where I am going. Heavenly Father knows all. He obviously sees me serving there when I didn't. Hahaha. I am going to be companions with Hermana Rubow. She was in the MTC with Hermana Corniea and Hermana Howell!!! I've heard GREAT things about Hermana Rubow. I am excited to meet her. I am hoping that this new area, new transfer, new companion will help me. I am hoping I can finally feel better.
Hermana Schmidt will be a Sister Training Leader. She is going to be serving in Santa Barbara. She is going to a fantastic area! So there will be 2 new sisters coming to our area. ("White washing") just like Hermana Howell and I did just 3 transfers ago.
I will miss Solvang so much. This is definitely a place that I will have to come back to. But this will forever be a place of growth. I grew so much. Still am. And I know I will continue to grow so much from the experiences I had here. I love the ward. I love the people. I know I will love my new area. It's just bittersweet.
I am hoping the new area will be a refresher!! I just want a refresher. Haha. I found out my companion from the MTC, Hermana Brown is a Sister Training Leader!!!!! Which I am SOOO excited about!! She is amazing, and I know that this calling is HERS. She will do amazingly!! I am SO excited for her....I hope that I will be able to go on exchanges with HER!! :D I love her.
Karen is gone. I have not enjoyed seeing her house empty. It was GREAT being her neighbor. but seeing her house empty is sad. I have asked Elder Young about his area, and I think that Karen moved into HIS MISSION BOUNDARIES. How crazy is that?! Elder Young actually served where we think Karen moved!! How crazy is that?! I want him to teach her and her family!!
I said goodbye to Erik yesterday. It was very sad. I will miss him so much! He is such a solid recent convert!! He is just so great. I'm pretty sure he will be the unit leader here in Solvang....when there is a Spanish unit ;) Haha He'll be the leader!!! :)
I am excited to recieve my easter package. Thank you for the General Conference package. Loved it!! :) Tell ashley my mission office address. Because I don't know my address right now. She asked me last week for my real address. I am excited to get the CD too!! Thank youu!
Sister Castro loved the happy book I gave her!! :) She said she would carry it with her every where. Thank you for that idea, Mom. My happy book has helped me more than I ever thought it could, especially this past transfer.
I may go to the doctor this week. I am going to talk with Sister Castro tomorrow after transfer meeting and we will figure out what to do...I had to get some prescription nasal spray for my cold. I am still using it...haha. But just in case something notifies you about our insurance, I used our insurance! (I don't know anything about insurance...haha).
Well. I love you. I appreciate your support, love, and prayers.
Love,
Sister Ah Mu
