Dear Family and Friends,
Hello! I hope everyone had a great week, because we definitely did in Glen Huon! We had a really busy week with Sister Ricks making her rounds to say her last goodbyes to everyone! We honestly have the best ward out here! Everyone was showering her with love and gifts! The people here are amazing! Thursday we even got to go on a fun trip with two of the members from our ward and one of their non-member friends out to the Cadbury factory. Don't worry, I bought lots of chocolate and it's already halfway gone. :) That night we also had dinner at one of the member's home named Greta and she invited one of her friends from work named Samantha. Samantha is 22 and from Missouri. She has been in Victoria/Tasmania since May working for newspapers and is currently working for the Huon newspaper. So she interviewed Sister Ricks, Sister Stoker, and me and is going to write an article about us in the local paper. I'm kinda nervous about that because I hate things like that that draw attention to me. But I will get my hands on a paper and send you all a picture so you can see. :)
This weekend we had Stake Conference and Sister Ricks, Stoker, and I sang in a small group number at the beginning of the Saturday night meeting. That was definitely super scary because I am NOT a singer and we were in a group of less than ten people in front of a really big crowd so I was super nervous the whole time and just tried to not sing very loud so hopefully noone could hear me. President and Sister Maxwell came down to Tas for our Stake Conference so after the Saturday night meeting Sister Ricks, Stoker, Bishop Jury, and I cornered President Maxwell to try and get information out of him about transfers because we were supposed to get a call out about an hour later. I was surprised that he actually told us that our area would get switched up more than just Sister Ricks going home. I got really devastated because I figured they would be transferring me out because the last new Sister in our area was only here for one transfer, but then President pulled out Sister Stoker and told her that the Lord needs her elsewhere. So I am staying in Glen Huon for at least another transfer, which I am super excited about because I absolutely love it here, but we just dropped Sister Ricks off at the airport this morning and we are leaving in a couple of hours to drop Sister Stoker off so she can go to the transfer meeting and find out what lucky people get her next! I will get to enjoy myself with Sister Bennion in the Chinese program in Sandy Bay for the next couple of days until my new trainer gets to Tas. So lots of bittersweet moments going on here right now, but I am just trying to accept the change and have faith that Heavenly Father knows what he is doing. I have also decided that he must be preparing me for something because I will be on my sixth companion and I haven't even been on my mission for two months! So I will let you all know about my new companion next week! Love you all! Take care! And remember that the gospel is true!
Love,
Sister Bingham
